1473415 - help migrate #buildduty and #releng to #ci

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

Hi,

As part of these channel consolidation efforts, #releng and #buildduty discussions and members are moving to #ci: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aKnMKQ1yL1g2DZMMqwmN5vrwYLvrkOK-uVTw7rMmKNk/edit#

I could lock out the old channels and slowly let members join #ci but I'd like to help the migration more. I came across the `redirect` chanserv command: http://www.geekshed.net/2010/05/redirecting-one-channel-to-another/

I was wondering is someone here could help do that for me? I don't believe we have that ability but perhaps someone here has done something like this before.

fwiw - I'm currently ops in all three channels.

Failing all this, we will resort to individual manual invites and then pw lock the old channels.

ashish - would you be able to help me or redirect me to someone else?

AFAIK anope's services do not have a redirect. However, you can use[1] +l 0 (limit channel to 0 users) and +L #ci (redirect to #ci after #l limit is hit) to achieve the same result.

> /msg chanserv mode #releng lock add +l 0
> /msg chanserv mode #releng lock add +L #ci

Note that this will not kick out users in #releng. You will need to issue an explicit clear to clear the channel:

> /msg chanserv clear #releng users

Thanks for the help. I spoke and got further helf from Ashish over slack. Turns out to use `cs CLEAR` I need to be founder/owner. bhearsum is founder of #releng and he is away on parental leave so I will need a workaround here.

Ashish, can you make me an owner of #releng so I can clear the users?
