Migration of common-lisp.net CVS repositories -- GitLab push e-mail configuration

[Erik Huelsmann]

Hi,


This mail serves to announce two common-lisp.net related news items:

 1. CVS repository migration
 2. GitLab push e-mail configuration FAQ added


== CVS repository migration ==

As previously discussed on clo-devel at common-lisp.net, common-lisp.net is
dropping support for CVS [1]. To that extent, projects which have CVS
repositories will receive an e-mail over the coming weeks offering the
choice to migrate to Subversion or Git. Mails and migrations will be sent
out in batches, so members may not receive messages for all projects at
once.

The default migration is to Git+GitLab [2]. Projects can request migration
to Subversion+Trac when Git isn't acceptable. If projects want to file a
request to migrate to Subversion in advance of their migration notice,
please file a ticket at https://trac.common-lisp.net/clo/newticket

After migration, the CVS repository will no longer be accessible. After all
CVS repositories have been migrated, the following services will be
scrapped:

 * Anonymous CVS checkout
 * ViewVC webbrowsing (for Subversion already available through Trac)

== GitLab push e-mail configuration ==

Some projects had push e-mail configured in conjunction with their
<project>-cvs at common-lisp.net mailing list.  Due to the migration to
GitLab, this functionality stopped working.

Today, we've published a FAQ item detailing how to configure GitLab and
Mailman to get the same result. See https://common-lisp.net/faq/emailonpush/
how to get this configuration for your project.
