• Repository for hamexam is marked as archived in salsa

    From Daniele Forsi@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jan 4 14:40:02 2022
    Hello,

    the repository for hamexam at https://salsa.debian.org/debian-hamradio-team/hamexam shows this
    message: "Archived project! Repository and other project resources are read-only"

    Was it done on purpose?
    The "Activity" page of the project doesn't show when it was set as
    archived or by whom.

    These are all the repositories marked as archived:
    comptext.bad
    csdr
    gcb
    hamexam
    kvasd-installer
    libfap5
    linpsk
    linsim
    predict
    wspr

    I imported the package history into that repo when I did a team
    upload, but then the package maintainer said they don't work with git,
    so I removed the repo again. (Unfortuntely, the Vcs-* fields are still
    present in the package.)

    too bad that gitlab doesn't show the date and the author of that (I
    opened an issue on gitlab.com).
    Before posting here, I searched the bug reports (there are none for
    this package) but opening a bug to track the archive status of the
    repository is out of scope, I also searched this mailing list, now
    there will be one more trace ;-)

    (Unfortuntely, the Vcs-* fields are still present in the package.)

    this is probably good as long as the .deb is stable /or oldstable?)
    even if salsa isn't the official way to distribute the sources
