GRASS Migration to OSGeo
Migration task list
The GRASS infrastructure is described in the infrastructure document.
Migration of Mailman lists
Task manager: Markus Neteler, Frank Warmerdam
- Description: move of all grass.itc.it Mailman lists to http://lists.osgeo.org
- Date: 15 Nov 2007
- Note 1: some lists have been renamed for consistency
- Note 2: the old list addresses still work and are auto-fwd'ed to the new list addresses
- Note 3: the archives are redirected to lists.osgeo.org through Apache Rewrite engine
- Status: done
Special Note for weblist: The list is open to submit Web site comments but spam prone. Due to the lack of spam filter on the OSGeo site, it is now configured as follows:
User -> weblist at grass itc.it -> /etc/aliases -> -> neteler.osgeo..gmail.com (for Spam filtering) -> FWD -> -> grass-web at lists osgeo.org
Migration from CVS to OSGeo SVN

Web Migration
Task manager: Markus Neteler, Wolf Bergenheim
- Description: Migration of HTML Web pages to OSGeo Drupal (update to Drupal 5 ongoing there)
- Date: Jan 2008?
- Status: open
- Note: the site http://grass.osgeo.org has been set up already
- Note: the site http://www.grass-gis.org is a rewrite rule to that site
- Important: only 70% of the files are in CVS, all big files are a local copy on grass.itc.it and need to be transferred via rsync
- --HB: Could someone provide details on what work is entailed in a migration to "Drupal 5"? Better, could someone provide a Drupal mock-up of what the GRASS front page and downloads page would be like?
Search engine Migration
Task manager: Markus Neteler, Wolf Bergenheim, Tyler Mtchell
- Currently htdig based on grass.itc.it, due to Apache rewrite engine new lists.osgeo.org isn't picked up
- Google, Yahoo etc. need time to re-fetch the archive
- Mailman archives at lists.osgeo.org are slightly shifted in email reference number since the archives have been recreated
- TODO: verify with OSGeo how to search lists
- TODO: decides how to archive 'grass-commit'
- Date: Dec 2007
- Status: open
Web statistics Migration
Task manager: Markus Neteler, Wolf Bergenheim
- we have server statistics (apache logs) from 2002 onwards for grass.itc.it (the server delivered 6.73 Tb so far which is underestimated due to some lacking log data)
- log files to be donated to OSGeo for Marketing analysis
- grass.osgeo.org needs (has?) server statistics
- Date: Dec 2007
- Status: open
Cron job Migration
Retire:
- cron_build_50tutor.sh -> outdated? keep?
- cron_cvs_DGLIBsnapshot.sh -> do we need it as separate package?
- cron_cvs_rsync.sh: rsync Intevation CVS to grass.itc.it (no need to keep after migration)
Maybe:
- cron_grass60_src_snapshot.sh -> outdated? keep?
Todo:
(all to be changed to SVN server after migration)
- cron_grass63_generate_prog_manuals.sh: requires server-side doxygen and graphviz (for dot), requires new target directory
- Stable weekly snapshots:
- cron_grass62_release_src_snapshot.sh
- cron_grass62_release_build_bins.sh
- Unstable weekly snapshots:
- cron_grass63_src_snapshot.sh
- cron_grass63_build_bins.sh
- cron_grass_fetch_usermap.sh: User map for web site hosted at GDF Hannover
- cron_grassweb_update.sh: Web pages -> obsolete, once the Drupal migration is done
