[Evergreen-dev] Git Repositories to Drop?

[Jeff Davis]

contrib/overdrive-eg-opac.git is obsolete (it was superseded by native Overdrive integration) and can be removed.

Is there some way we can archive the old repositories instead of simply deleting them, so that they still exist somewhere but don't add clutter? As Jane says, it would be good to retain a record of some of these projects.

Hello, all.

While working on the git branch renaming project, I've noticed that we
have a number of Git repositories hosted on the community server that
have not been used for some time.  I am writing to get some consensus on
whether or not we should keep or delete any of the following repositories:


contrib/Conifer.git
contrib/equinox.git
contrib/masslnc/vmscripts.git
contrib/mohawk.git
contrib/overdrive-eg-opac.git
contrib/pines.git
contrib/pines/eg-debian.git
contrib/pines/genasys.git
contrib/pines/osrf-debian.git
contrib/pines/report-creator.git
contrib/tadl.git
evergreen/bjwebb.git *
Evergreen-DocBook.git
evergreen/equinox.git
evergreen/joelewis.git *
evergreen/masslnc.git
evergreen/tadl.git
Evergreen_Website.git
opensrf/bjwebb.git *
Syrup.git
syrup/masslnc.git
testing.git

The last repository, testing.git, is a default created by gitolite and
could be useful for folks just learning git.

An asterisk at the end of a line indicates a repository that I think
should be deleted because they belong to Google Summer of Code
participants from approximately 10 years ago, and it looks like all of
the relevant code from them has been merged into Evergreen and OpenSRF.

I have not checked everyone of these repositories for activity, so if
you are actively using one on the list, be sure to let me know.

I want to add that the presence of these repositories doesn't add much
to the maintenance cost of the server, but they will complicate things
if/when we ever move to another hosting environment.

Thanks for any feedback!

Jason
