Renaming the plugin and repo

[Vladimir Belousov]

Hi,
We are working on plugin https://plugins.jenkins.io/redhat-codeready-dependency-analysis/

For some reason, we want to rename the plugin and change the repository name where it is hosted

Will it work?
What are the possible side effects?

Thanks!

You can change the name of the GitHub repository and friendly name (<name> in the pom.xml) for sure. GitHub handles redirects. You may change them in documentation sources, such as the README.md too, if applicable.

Renaming the GitHub repository is achieved by opening a pull request, modifying your permission file at the repository permission updater (https://github.com/jenkins-infra/repository-permissions-updater/blob/master/permissions/plugin-redhat-codeready-dependency-analysis.yml).

Changing the plugin ID is not possible at this state anymore.

Best regards,

Alex

just to be clear, changing the plugin id makes it a new plugin, which is doable, but you'll lose all upgrade paths.

Its probably better if you are going to change everything, to just make a new plugin and depreciate the old one, it'll be a lot less work.

Agree

We are also thinking about this option. 

If we will the ready code, will it be possible to publish the plugin in 2-3 working days?

I'm sure it everything is in order it can be done pretty quickly, but since everyone is volunteering there's no guarantees
