[tei-council] Sourceforge Upgrade

[Gabriel Bodard]

I've just performed the Sourceforge upgrade for EpiDoc, and as promised 
am reporting back here on our experiences of that for the TEI upgrade 
(impending, as it has to be this month or they'll do it for us).

It all went pretty smoothely: the upgrade took 2 minutes from when I 
requested it, and the repos were migrated 3 minutes after that. (TEI is 
a lot bigger than EpiDoc, so it may take longer, but I bet not orders of 
magnitude longer.) The FR and bug trackers seem to have copied across 
with no loss of content. (But would need to be frozen for a few minutes 
to be on the safe side...)

The only difficulty is with the SVN repos so far. As warned, the 
addresses will change: the existing https address will become a 
read-only repo, and the new repo is accessible only via svn+ssh (and I 
haven't figured out how to get anonymous checkout of that yet). Updating 
all systems that depend on that will be a pain, but we'll have to do it.

Should we get started soon? Has someone started a survey of all the 
places where the SVN url will need to be updated?

Cheers,

G
