digitalmars.D - On the origins of github.com/D-Programming-Language

Hei,

I just wanted to ask a short question - why did you pick such a 
long github namespace?
Having something short is easier to remember, shorter to type, 
better visible and often recognized as more important (that's how 
our brains work). Another good example is that since github 
started to include the user/organization name in the header of 
issue /PR mails the title is barely readable.

My background is the today I changed my github account from 
 greenify to  wilzbach and actually changing the name is rather 
easy - github sets up all redirect automatically.
More infos: 
https://help.github.com/articles/what-happens-when-i-change-my-username/

There a two things that one shouldn't forgot after the move is 
(1) to register the old account, so that no one can overwrite the 
redirects and (2) changing the CI config files (e. g. Travis 
allows repo protection)

I do know that in such a large project, there still might be some 
efforts involved (maybe with auto-tester) - so I wanted to ask 
you on your opinion regarding renaming the github organization?

Btw I have seen that someone already had a similar spirit and 
reserved d-lang.

https://github.com/d-lang

In case it's not one of you - there is still the friendly github 
support.

The name was chosen before Oscar Brynolf kindly offered up the 
domain name dlang.org. The <x>lang idiom for languages was only 
just starting to become common back then.

By "back then" I mean in 2011[1]. The original domain was 
d-programming-language.org and having the github organization 
match made sense.

Right, and the original reason for the long form name was how google indexed
things.

Okay - so this long name is purely due to historic reasons.
How about we move forward and change it to `d-lang`? So that the 
name and domain match again :)
I am happy to push this, contact the Github support and change 
links.

Is someone of the core team interested in helping this move?
As mentioned redirects for the repos are automatically created, 
so the web page and git automagically continue to work.
We could fix a specific date & time, just in case something goes 
wrong.

I'm willing to go forward with that if there's a swell of support for it. But 
for consistency's sake it should be dlang, not d-lang.

I think this would be a good thing to do for consistency, but not 
critical. d-programming-langauge is not ambiguous. If it can be made to 
work so both "groups" point at the same place, we should attempt at some 
point.

A couple things though -- we have a lot of automation surrounding 
github. We should make sure the major players have their input before 
attempting this. I'm thinking Brad and Vladimir? Also, I think an owner 
of the github group needs to be pulling the trigger too, so I'm not sure 
how much we can offload this duty to Seb.

GitHub say that they will redirect all relevant requests (http,

Yes it is - as long as no new repository is created. That's why 
you really should avoid to create repositories at the 
github.com/D-Programming-Language after the migration.

As mentioned I wrote to the Github support about the "dlang" 
namespace:


 I took a look at the account in question [dlang], and it 
 doesn't appear
 that it is dormant (not all activity on GitHub is public).
 With that in mind, there would be no way for us to transfer
 this name to you without permission from the owner of it.


However I still have a bright message for you:


 It looks as though the **d-lang** account you found is being 
 squatted.
 I've gone ahead and released this username now, so you'll be 
 able to
 create an organization with that username now.
 You'll want to grab that username quickly — it's available 
 first-come,
 first-served. Let me if there's anything else I can do to help!


Did that - that's why a couple of guys got an invitation.
So if we want to move to "d-lang", it is as easy as:

1) Delete the reserved "d-lang" namespace
2) Press on rename at D-Programming-Language
3) Recreate D-Programming-Language (and _avoid_ creating repos 
here)

I don't know how your protocol for such a change is, is it:

1) Wait a week until for objections
2) Ask a survey (yes, no, don't care)
3) Check approval from Walter + Andrei
4) Something else

 Cybershadow in case of a positive decision, do you want to be 
the "trigger guy"?

Cheers,

Seb

PS: In case you are worried - Step 1) will kick me out of the 
temporary organization.

If you are worried you can also migrate repowise, but then you 
would have to recreate all groups. Alternatively we can create a 
dummy account, rename it and see whether the clients continue to 
work fine.

Github doesn't support that directly - only for renames, besides

Theoretically... if we move to dlang and back... but, that's all 
the disadvantages with neither the advantages. Unless GitHub 
support gets involved, but they've probably been bothered enough 
by us already.

I don't get it. If D-Programming-Language can redirect to dlang, then the

Don't worry about the auto-tester.  Ideally it'll just work, and if it doesn't,

Thanks Brad.

I counted the following software (API clients etc.) that relies 
on the current URLs:

- The autotester
- My documentation tester
- dlang.org build account
- D-dot-git and consumers (Digger, TrenD)
- Martin's GitHub dlang-bot
- Travis (for the dmd repo)

I'll start with checking whether they can handle HTTP redirects.

My results:


 - The autotester




I checked the repo anyway and found that the userscripts which 
integrate the status into the UI will need to be updated. I think 
these predate the GitHub test status API, so not sure if anyone 
still uses these. Still, made a PR:

https://github.com/braddr/d-tester/pull/48


 - My documentation tester




This and GHDaemon needed an update to handle redirects. Done and 
deployed.


 - dlang.org build account




Should redirect automatically.


 - D-dot-git and consumers (Digger, TrenD)




Should redirect automatically. D-dot-git will keep using the old 
URLs, as changing them will invalidate all Digger caches 
everywhere for a small cosmetic benefit.


 - Martin's GitHub dlang-bot




Doesn't follow redirects, but doesn't need to because it uses the 
URLs from the web hooks :)


 - Travis (for the dmd repo)




Apparently the redirect will break old links to Travis builds:

https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-ci/issues/2698

Hopefully that shouldn't be too much of an issue.


 My email filters work on "D-Programming-Language" as well :-)

I've done some tests with some dummy organizations and everything 
seems to work as expected.

Assuming no objections, I'll do the move tomorrow, around 
2016-04-16 00:00 UTC. Though, I plan to swap the two 
organizations (dlang -> dlang-backup, D-Programming-Language -> 
dlang, dlang-backup -> D-Programming-Language).

Here's a draft of what the old organization URL could look like:

https://github.com/DMoveTest-D-Programming-Language

(The https://github.com/D-Programming-Language page will not be

Well that's a bit drastic when you can just change the remotes, 
isn't it :)

Probably.

BTW, do I need to be a member of the redirect group? I was asked to 
join, but I think it may not matter.

Yeah, I indeed don't think it matters. In fact that group should 
probably have as few people as possible, to avoid anyone 
accidentally creating a repository with the same name as a dlang 
repository, which would destroy the redirect.

I've updated the auto-tester to point directly at the new organization.  About
the only thing I 
haven't seen go through yet is a merge.  But testing seems to be going just
fine.

 I'm willing to go forward with that if there's a swell of

 not d-lang.


Before we start this discussion, we should make sure we actually 
can do it.

dlang is used by Daniel Lang, see github.com/dlang

I have written a nice mail to him (you should be cced), hopefully 
I hear back from.
Otherwise (because of inactivity), I might be able to talk with 
the people from Github (I am already in touch with them).

 Also, I think an owner of the github group needs to be pulling 
 the trigger too, so I'm not sure how much we can offload this 
 duty to Seb.


Yes, but I can try my best to do all the other work required 
(e.g. writing mails to acquire the dlang namespace).
