Hi all, It's been a while in the making, but we're moving all of the gem5 code from mercurial to git and our hosting onto Google's cloud (big thanks to Google for donating the resources, Andreas Sandberg for driving this, and the team at Google for helping us out). We will be migrating our infrastructure from the self-hosted mercurial repo at repo.gem5.org and reviewboard to git and gerrit hosted on Google's new googlesource website: https://gem5.googlesource.com/. We are planning on flipping the switch tomorrow, March 1st. For gem5 users, the main implication is that you'll need to transition to git and use the code at https://gem5.googlesource.com/. The old mercurial repo will continue to work for the foreseeable future, but will be deprecated at some point. Most of the changes will only affect developers and those of you who want to contribute your code back. I've posted a patch on reviewboard that contains a new CONTRIBUTING document that details the new contribution process (http://reviews.gem5.org/r/3814/). This will be committed before the switch. The major changes are detailed below: 1. REPOSITORIES * The canonical version of gem5 will now live at https://gem5.googlesource.com/, not repo.gem5.org * The mercurial repository at repo.gem5.org will be a read-only mirror of the googlesource repo. * We will keep the github mirror 2. CODE REVIEWS * All reviews will happen on https://gem5-review.googlesource.com/. * No new patches will be accepted on reviewboard after March 1. Any patches still on reviewboard will be discussed/reviewed there, but committers will have to manually commit them to the git repo (not unlike our current situation). Cheers, gem5-dev team
