Hello,

After several technical issues (8 tries were needed to convert the FPC sources to git), the move from svn/mantis to gitlab has been completed.

The FPC sources are now available at

https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/source

All FPC git repositories are available at:

https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc

This is also where bugs can be reported from now on:

All Mantis issues have been converted to Gitlab issues.

Depending on where you report an issue, the Gitlab system will ask you to select a project under which to report a bug.

Note that e.g. documentation bugs should be reported in the documentation repository:

https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/documentation

etc.

A redirect has been put in place for the old bug system, if possible the system will redirect you to the correct issue in Gitlab. A similar redirect will be put in place for the viewvc repository view tool.

The "development" page has been updated with the necessary instructions to connect with Git:
https://www.freepascal.org/develop.html

More information about git has been placed in the WIKI:

https://wiki.freepascal.org/FPC_git

The lazarus team also placed a version at

https://wiki.freepascal.org/SVN_to_GIT_Cheatsheet

If you see places where we overlooked updating the SVN to git or mantis to gitlab information, please let us know...

Michael.

I feel your pain. lol

Well done to everyone involved. After years my dream has come true. ;-) I'll now discontinue my FPC and Lazarus (SVN -> Git mirror) on Github.

Regards,
Graeme

Are you saying that these URL:s will be shut down?:

https://github.com/fpc/FPCSource/
https://github.com/fpc/Lazarus/

Or are these someone elses?
I just switched my installation script to use these rather than the old svn server after a discussion on the fpc list...

github.com/fpc/* is by the fpc/lazarus team. This are now official mirrors. So they stay.

Graeme (and me to) where running svn2git mirrors, but that was on other github urls. Those svn2git mirrors are also not compatible to the new official git, since they were individually translated and had other sha1 for the same commits.
