[Freemint-list] Github transition finished

[Miro Kropáček]

Hi again,

just to let you know then I have finished the transition process to github.
Every SpareMiNT CVS repository is available at https://github.com/freemint
(it includes some really obscure ones, who remembers Ozk's VDI project?),
Vincent has moved his gcc/binutils/gdb repositories there, so I did my git
repository.

I've hacked a quick website here: https://freemint.github.io, it should
serve as a starting point.

I've also contacted all former MiNT ML contributors so there's no way
somebody is not aware of either the FreeMiNT ML or the github project. :)

Basically, what do you need to do to fully embrace this new setup:

   - create a github account and follow
   https://github.com/freemint/freemint/wiki/Newcomer%27s-corner
   - decide what to do with the old server/website (sparemint.org), is
   there anything left worth saving? (RPMs? We can put them on github if you
   like, we could even put the whole website with RPMs and stuff on github and
   refer to it as "the old version" :))
   - change autobuild on http://freemint.org to clone from git repositories
   (at least until we find solution to
   https://github.com/freemint/freemint/issues/1)
   - start poking around, editing wiki, creating pull requests (not only
   programming stuff but also documentation, website, graphics, ... anything
   you'd like to see)
   - verify that the ML is working now and if not, what to do about that
   (there's an option to switch to google groups, use SourceForge just for the
   ML...)

Well, that's pretty much it. I don't expect people jumping straight away
and contributing like crazy but it at least gives pretty good means to do
that. For example, for editing the website or a README or any text you
don't need to even use git at all, all can be done in the web UI and press
"Create Pull Request" button, yes, it's this easy!
