Move Repository To rust-lang

XAMPPRocky opened this issue · 7 comments

Hello, the current rust-lang-nursery organisation is considered deprecated, and the Rust Programming Language organisation is trying to consolidate managing Rust's GitHub organisations, as such we'd like you to consider moving your repository to the main rust-lang organisation instead.

How Do I Move To rust-lang?

You won't be able to transfer your repository directly, you'll need to transfer your repository to @Mark-Simulacrum, who will then move your repository to the rust-lang organisation.

Deprecating

If you no longer intend to maintain this repository, please let us know and we will take of deprecating the project.

I believe we could move this to https://github.com/rust-lang-deprecated/ since failure is considered deprecated by anyhow and thiserror in the README.

That would probably make more sense nowadays.

Yeah, I think moving this to rust-lang-deprecated is best.

@davidbarsky Can I take that as approval to move it in the near future or would you want to wait?

That is my approval to move this repository in the near future, or whenever you are ready to do so. Sorry that my response was unclear but thanks for double-checking.

Do we care about breaking https://rust-lang-nursery.github.io/failure/? I believe if we just move the repository that URL will stop working so if we do want it to keep working we'll need to setup redirects. I'm afraid I don't have the time myself to figure out / remember how we're doing that these days.

I believe we can add a page to show that failure is deprecated in favor of anyhow and thiserror like normal rust book deprecation link.
