1098315 - Rename wiki pages & repositories to distinguish between the old and new Autoland projects

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(MozReview Graveyard :: General, defect, P2)

Description

[Ed Morley [:emorley]]

Old project(s):
https://wiki.mozilla.org/ReleaseEngineering:Autoland
https://wiki.mozilla.org/BMO/AutoLand
https://wiki.mozilla.org/BugzillaAutoLanding
https://hg.mozilla.org/build/autoland/
Mirror: https://github.com/mozilla/build-autoland
Mirror: https://github.com/rail/build-autoland/

New project:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Auto-tools/Projects/Autoland
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1043010 (alias "autoland")
https://github.com/dminor/autoland

It's confusing having two tools with the same name - we should rename the old wiki pages/repos to avoid confusion. 

Also, I think the canonical repo (if in github) should be under the mozilla org rather than dminor's personal account.

I'm happy to do the wiki pages if people are happy..?
I don't know who owns the releng hg to github sync that could take care of github.com/mozilla/build-autoland

eg in bug 1082028 comment 27, many of the hits for the old API URL are from the now-unused legacy autoland github mirror, but it's not clear to people that it is unused.

I agree about renaming the obsolete pages to reduce confusion.  Hal probably knows something about the hg->git mirroring for this repo.

Unfortunately, true!  Just file a bug for the mirror in Release Engineering :: Tools - we'll have some questions we can work out there.

In general, we don't recommend renaming repositories, as that breaks all existing URLs (bugzilla, code notes, etc)

I think you're talking about 2 different names here: "build-autoland" and "automation-autoland", so there may not be as much confusion as you suspect. (If you're proposing to re-use build-autoland, then there is no issue.)

Another option is to get 'build-autoland' "closed" on all it's locations (would take some discussion with the owner, but that should be trivial in this case).

This can be worked out as part of the mirroring
