Migrating to GitHub pages? #8

Hello @chsievers, there is a problem while checking for updates:

Package: FGA
# Error (/circa/home/gap-jenkins/pkgadmin/pkgcache/fga/tmp/tmpinfo.g): no pack\
age info bound!
  WARNING (FGA): no success in download of the current info file 
  from http://www.icm.tu-bs.de/ag_algebra/software/FGA/PackageInfo.g

and snce you already have a GitHub repository, maybe the best way to fix this is is to host it on GitHub pages, using tools by @fingolfin:

Once set up, publishing a release is just a one-line command to run a shell script, and you can delegate that to other people, if you wish, e.g. me or @fingolfin. if you will give us write access or, what I would actually prefer, migrate to https://github.com/gap-packages, we can easily do all setup for you, so that the next time you can publish a new release yourself, or ask us to do this for you. The new page will look like https://gap-packages.github.io/example/.

@bh11 says that the web server at icm.tu-bs.de started to refuse to serve files with extension .g. He already updated IRREDSOL to host archives on GitHub, and, although that setup does not make use of ReleaseTools and GitHubPagesForGAP, it does work for the purposes of package distribution.
