Hello Autoscaling SIG,

I'm writing to inform you that the Cluster Autoscaler code migration was successfully completed last Friday (July 31st). The oss code for the Cluster Autoscaler is now officially available in its new home: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cluster-autoscaler 🚀🚀

If you have any open PRs against the old repository (kubernetes/autoscaler), you must manually migrate them. To adjust your PRs to the new project directory structure (where code has moved from /cluster-autoscaler to /pkg), I recommend using the following approach:
  • In your old local repository, check out your PR branch and export your commits as patch files
    • git checkout <your-old-pr-branch>
    • git format-patch master -o /tmp/patches/
  • (Optionally) Open the patch files and edit go imports there ('k8s.io/autoscaler/cluster-autoscaler' -> 'sigs.k8s.io/cluster-autoscaler/pkg')
  • In your new local repository clone (kubernetes-sigs/cluster-autoscaler), create a fresh branch and apply the patches:
    • git checkout -b <your-new-branch>
    • git am -p2 --directory=pkg/ /tmp/patches/*.patch
      (-p2 strips both the git prefix (a/) and the old folder (cluster-autoscaler/), and --directory maps them to /pkg/)

Please reach out if you hit any roadblocks while moving your work over.

Thanks for your cooperation!
Hubert

this is great, thanks to everyone for the hard work migrating to the new repo. i'm curious about the old repo, perhaps i missed it in the issues, but how long can we expect the old repository to exist in its current form (eg containing the CA, providers, VPA, etc)?

i only ask for those of us that are managing downstream products based on the upstream repositories. we will need to migrate our build processes to use the new location and i'm just curious what kind of time frame we should estimate for that movement.

peace o/
