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

Task manager: Martin Landa, Howard Butler

Migration from GRASS Addons SVN to OSGeo SVN

Wiki Migration

Task manager: Markus Neteler, Martin Spott, Howard Butler, Martin Landa

  • Description: Migration of GDF Mediawiki to OSGeo Mediawiki (incl. version update)
  • Date: Jan 2008?
  • Status: open

Web Migration

Task manager: Markus Neteler, Wolf Bergenheim

  • Description: Migration of HTML Web pages to OSGeo Drupal 5
  • 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?

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 outdated?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 outdated?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
