Google Code shutting down


Google Code

Hello,

Earlier today, Google announced <http://www.google.com/appserve/mkt/p/kAmA1R0AsDcUeEeHbzLzyXudQMtGov4FsuO6MB4rWVeBZn_ihKMMV6z9nlx40P4obOpZe7ZvtTxll9IkIlCscdT9n-6oO4mbSsEaJhMJSzKLEz19_BR9ljhg> we will be turning down Google Code Project Hosting. The service started in 2006 with the goal of providing a scalable and reliable way of hosting open source projects. Since that time, millions of people have contributed to open source projects hosted on the site.

But a lot has changed since 2006. In the past nine years, many other options for hosting open source projects have popped up, along with vibrant communities of developers. It’s time to recognize that Google Code’s mission to provide open source projects a home has been accomplished by others, such as GitHub and Bitbucket.

We will be shutting down Google Code over the coming months. Starting today, the site will no longer accept new projects, but will remain functionally unchanged until August 2015. After that, project data will be read-only. Early next year, the site will shut down, but project data will be available for download in an archive format.

As the owner of the following projects, you have several options for migrating your data.

* path2models
* numl

The simplest option would be to use the Google Code Exporter <https://www.google.com/appserve/mkt/p/foUe4bmkvX7vL3oOXUnTqxR5naiG2KQzEiJDdTH7K0LJ7akYLQqnX1D8CeUmAEcn7pqtEht66Hca>, a new tool that will allow you to export your projects directly to GitHub. Alternatively, we have documentation <https://www.google.com/appserve/mkt/p/Am5N_fbEOtaUT_5aWl0RXBz_vKBALHsG4e9aq1XfUT7EwUiSJ-0zt-qqU5PCiXnE8AN51Mnk9Q==> on how to migrate to other services — GitHub, Bitbucket, and SourceForge — manually.

For more information, please see the Google Open Source blog <https://www.google.com/appserve/mkt/p/lWEB6QgN1jMWrdSghbNZYfq1OozC2NBgr6pP8X_gDf-IZaxfH3HCZxgK1VIltAKZbIvv5VlIkA==> or contact google-cod...@google.com <mailto:google-cod...@google.com>.

I have now finished importing the NuML repository (including libnuml) into a github repository: 

https://github.com/NuML/NuML

All the best

Frank

Hi Frank,
It would be good if the google code project page could point at the GitHub version, as it's not easy to find via a GitHub or google search (there's another numl project on GitHub already!). I had to look up this list's archive to find the link.
Best wishes,
Jonathan

now that the project has migrated, you can set the google code project
to redirect automatically to github.

Thanks .. that is a good call, i adjusted the references on the google code page to ensure they point out that the project moved to github.
