Hi Assaf,

Thanks for the tip, I had never noticed this.  Both issues should be fixed now.

Cheers,
Ludo'.

Hello,

You can change the URLs by visiting the project's page ( https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/shepherd/ ) and going to the "Select Features" option in the "Main" menu.

There you can set the alternative URLs for each option (e.g. for the git repository).

regards,
 - assaf

Hello!
There's one addition: since there's a new shepherd git repository the link on https://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=shepherd should point to http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/shepherd.git instead of http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/dmd.git
Thanks,
Fabian

Hello!

We found a minor issue: clicking on "Source Code" on https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/shepherd redirects to https://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=dmd (should be "shepherd" instead.)

Hi Karl,

Thanks for the super fast reply!  Indeed, the discussion with rms took place in private.

I'll email the sysadmins and maintainers lists to complete the migration.

Thank you!

Ludo'.

Hi Ludo - well, rms's confirmation doesn't seem to be in that thread, but I'll take your word for it :).

I've done what can be done on the savannah side.  dmd is no more, all has been changed to shepherd afaik.  (Reference for Savannah people: http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/RenamingProjectGroup)

however, you yourself need to ask -email is unavailable- to make the changes on ftp.gnu.org and www.gnu.org. as you (i'm pretty sure :) know, no one else has access to those systems.

also, please write -email is unavailable- to tell them about the name change.  as you know, there are several infra files that need to be changed by them.

best,
karl

Hello!

After a discussion and with Richard Stallman's approval, it was decided to rename GNU dmd to GNU Shepherd.

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2016-01/msg00274.html

Would it be possible to rename the Savannah project from 'dmd' to 'shepherd'?  We would like gnu.org/s/dmd to redirect to gnu.org/s/shepherd, and ftp.gnu.org/gnu/dmd should be a symlink to ftp.gnu.org/gnu/shepherd.

If you think it would be easier to create a new Savannah project, that's also something we can do.  Let me know!

Thanks,
Ludo'.
