There is an important information to all contributors and the folks waiting for an IzPack 5.0 RC5 release:
Some of you have probably noticed before I did - all Codehaus services get definitely terminated forever this sunday, 17th of May 2015. See http://www.codehaus.org/.
This means we have to migrate as soon as possible the following services:
- JIRA (to JIRA or another issue tracker)
- Confluence (to Confluence or some other Wiki)
- Continous integration and release tooling (Cloudbees and Travis already connected to Github, not sure about releases and a repository manager)
- Mailing lists (if there are some)
Fortunately, the source code is already hosted a long time at Github and has been just synchronized with Codehaus GIT after releases. This means the source code is definitely saved.
Also the website sources of izpack.org are hosted at Github.
My favourites for the future development platform are Github and BitBucket. BitBucket has two pros - they are sponsored by Atlassian and provide JIRA and Confluence again, maybe a chance to reimport the data exported from Codehaus 1:1 instead of a painful migration to Github issues and markdown. Nevertheless, we have our developer base at Github and contributors are used to send Github pull requests, so If there would be a chance to migrate the documentation (Confluence) and issues (JIRA) to Github we would be fine.
Unfortunately, for the above reasons, I got to postpone the release of 5.0 RC5 a few days again.
Any help appreciated with migrating, especially of the documentation.
I have bulk-exported all JIRA issues and Confluence in the available formats locally.
Also these mailinglists won't probably work any longer after sunday this week.
For communication after this date or from now you can still use IzPack's Google+ page: https://plus.google.com/+izpack/
Don't worry - the IzPack project will definitely continue!
We just got to survive this migration :-)
