974219 - Move qimportbz into the new https://hg.mozilla.org/hgcustom/version-control-tools repo

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Developer Services :: Mercurial: qimportbz, defect)

Description

[Ed Morley [:emorley]]

See bug 968958 for context.

Rob, are you ok with this?

Comment 1

[Tony Mechelynck [:tonymec]]

Does this mean that user clones of the qimportbz extension will have to change the URL from which they pull? Or will a redirect be set up server-side?

Comment 2

[Ed Morley [:emorley]]

The latter, there is no easy way to do the former.

I was thinking we'd just use a similar approach to bug 968259. ie: users of mach mercurial-setup will get prompted to update, and others will see a warning when next manually pulling the qimportbz repo.

Comment 3

[Rob Arnold [:robarnold]]

I think this is fine. Updating the extension in the old location to warn users is a good idea. I'm not sure if it would be a good idea to introduce a harder nag later (say, 6 months) to get any stragglers.

Using the script I attached in bug 976514:

[/c/src/vctools]$ ~/Desktop/repo-import.sh ../qimportbz/ hgext/qimportbz

Import ../qimportbz/ into the subdirectory hgext/qimportbz? (y/n)?y

Create README & remove redundant hgignore, post import:

Attachment: Redirect users to new repository location

With qimportbz imported into the vcstools repo & bug 976892 propagated around the tree, it's time to land the qimportbz equivalent of bug 968259.
