Migration plan for Google Code hosted projects?

[Marshall Greenblatt]

Hi All,

As you may know Google just announced that they're shutting down Google Code hosting: http://google-opensource.blogspot.se/2015/03/farewell-to-google-code.html.

The article mentions that Chromium will stay on Google Code hosting but I was wondering about Chromium-related sub-projects (e.g. V8, skia, angle, etc). Will these sub-projects also stay as independent projects on Google Code? If not, what is the future plan for hosting these sub-projects?

Thanks,

Marshall

Actually, the article does not mention that Chromium will stay on Google Code hosting, but on Google and it specifically mentions Git and Gerrit, not anything else.

So I guess the issue tracker(s) will move somewhere else, since the whole service will shut down in less than a year...

Assuming your interpretation is correct that could mean the issue tracker, wiki, code search, etc., moving somewhere else for Chromium and all Chromium-related projects. That could potentially be quite disruptive...

In any case, hopefully someone can share the plan or some idea of when the plan will be developed.

We're going to try to minimize disruption. The Google Code team has planned to keep the chromium-related project issue trackers operational until we have a different solution in place. We have a candidate system in mind, but it's too soon for any details yet.

The code search tool in /p/chromium is not actually a standard part of Google Code. We'll continue to operate that, although at some point it will have to look more like a standalone tool.

Thanks,
jason!
