Actions to move a project from Gerrit to a non-Gerrit repo[edit]

Phabricator
  • Archive Phabricator project <#ProjectX> for the extension.
  • Mark all Phabricator tasks for the extension either Declined or Invalid.
  • Edit Phabricator project <#ProjectX> description for the extension/skin with a link to this ticket.
Translatewiki.net/translations
  • Switch translatewiki.net from Gerrit to GitHub (groups/MediaWiki/mediawiki-extensions.txt) (add translatewiki.net project as a tag for this task).
Configuration/tests/integrations/etc.
  • Remove from mediawiki/extensions / mediawiki (along with in .gitmodules).
  • Remove tests in integration/config (zuul/layout.yaml; use archive-repo.py in the integration/config repo).
  • Remove manifest/other references from mediawiki/vagrant if they exist.
  • Remove from https://doc.wikimedia.org/cover-extensions/ if present (requires Continuous-Integration-Infrastructure shell user to delete directly from the server).
Repositories
  • Empty repository leaving only the README indicating the repo has moved to the new repo and referring to this task by URL.
  • Mark the repository read-only in Gerrit (Edit description to prepend "[MOVED]" and append Task reference).
  • Configure repository for the extension/skin: (rESTA extension-SemanticTasks) to watch GitHub upstream instead.
