Move project to organization lcdproc #3

Closed antoneliasson closed 8 years ago

antoneliasson commented 8 years ago

I'm back!

I have started thinking about making stable releases of LCDjava and eventually submitting it to the central Maven repository, so that projects can easily use it simply by declaring a dependency, without having to manually juggle JAR files.

That means that LCDjava needs a good and stable groupId and artifactId. These are also part of the Java package that LCDjava's classes are filed under. It makes sense to me to place it under org.lcdproc.lcdjava, if the LCDproc crew agrees to this. Now that LCDproc is moving to Github LCDjava could also move to their organization (https://github.com/lcdproc) to reflect the potential new groupId. I'll ask about both issues on their mailing list. Do you have any objections to this?

boncey commented 8 years ago

No, sounds like a great idea!

antoneliasson commented 8 years ago

Hi again! Willfe at lcdproc is positive to the adoption of lcdjava. Now we need your help. As soon as willfe has removed https://github.com/lcdproc/lcdjava, could you go to the Settings tab of this repository and down in the Danger Zone do a transfer of lcdjava to the organization lcdproc? When he accepts the transfer you'll be automatically added as a collaborator in the new repository.

Hi, sounds good. The lcdjava repo is still there now so I'll try again later. Nudge me on this thread if you do see that it's been deleted please.

antoneliasson commented 8 years ago

nudge Try it now.

boncey commented 8 years ago

Just tried and it failed saying You don’t have admin rights to lcdproc. I guess I will need that (if only temporarily).

antoneliasson commented 8 years ago

I asked, and @willfe declined (understandably). He suggested the workaround of first transferring the repo to his personal account, and then he will transfer it to the lcdproc organization (which he is the owner of). Could you do that?

boncey commented 8 years ago

OK, have done that, it's now showing as Repository transfer to willfe requested. Let's hope it works.

willfe commented 8 years ago

Looks like we're golden! I received the transfer, and then transferred this repo to the LCDproc organization, so it should be live now at https://github.com/lcdproc/lcdjava. Let me know if there are any missing settings or memberships. I'll leave this open for now just in case :)

BTW, welcome to the project! Glad to have you join us!

boncey commented 8 years ago

Hooray! Great that we got there in the end.

GitHub redirects from the old project URL work too which is good.

antoneliasson commented 8 years ago

Excellent! Thanks for the warm welcome and thanks to both of you for your help!

There is also a friend repository on my profile containing demo projects at https://github.com/antoneliasson/lcdjava-demos . I opted to keep these projects in a separate repo (initially they were even two separate repositories) to show not only how to use the LCDjava API, but also how to integrate the library in a larger project for those who do not speak pom.xml fluently. Should we move these to the lcdproc organization using the same procedure?

willfe commented 8 years ago

Sure! Send it along and I'll get it moved to the org.

willfe commented 8 years ago

https://github.com/lcdproc/lcdjava-demos -- looks like we're live!

Sanity checks are welcome. If you're satisfied that the moves have been successful, we can close this issue (and the related one on the LCDproc project).

antoneliasson commented 8 years ago

Looks great from here! I can push and pull both repositories. Closing.
