Sourceforge website contains outdated information

[RalfJung]

The old sourceforge website https://sourceforge.net/projects/osspd/ contains no indication that it is outdated. I am the Debian maintainer of osspd, and I had no idea that it is outdated. Someone updated https://sourceforge.net/projects/fuse so I hope that someone also has the access to fix the osspd page. :)

It'd be good to add a note to the website, and maybe also send an announcement to the mailing list that git remotes need to be updated.

I would also lock/disable the repository on SourceForge, to prevent it from diverging (again) from this one.

I'm afraid this project is completely abandoned, both on Sourceforge and on Github.

If someone tells me how to disable the SourceForge project then I can try to do so. I just tried but didn't find a way to do that.

[RalfJung]

I never saw the sourceforce project admin UI, so I cannot help with that. Is there a way to change the project description? Then you could make that a reference to this repository.

[Nikratio]

I can't even find an Admin UI for the project

[davidebeatrici]

In theory you can find it at the top right of the page, if logged in.

If you're not interested in maintaining this project anymore, @OpenMandrivaSoftware will gladly take over it.

While (I assume) it was originally created to aid the transition from OSSv3 to ALSA, I believe if we implement OSSv4 support it will become relevant again.

Right now the only way to develop for that sound system on Linux (without jeopardizing ALSA) would be to run a *BSD in a virtual machine.

Happy to hand it over, just tell me exactly what I need to do where.

[davidebeatrici]

Awesome! The relevant settings can be found at https://github.com/libfuse/osspd/settings.

[Nikratio]

Yes, I know what to do on GitHub. My question was about the SourceForge project :-).

Also, for the GitHub transfer:

[Nikratio]

I've added you as a GitHub collaborator for now.

[berolinux]

I've sent you an invite that should make transferring the repository possible.

[davidebeatrici]

Thanks, for reference: https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/creating-and-managing-repositories/transferring-a-repository

Prerequisites for repository transfers:

• When you transfer a repository that you own to another personal account, the new owner will receive a confirmation email. The confirmation email includes instructions for accepting the transfer. If the new owner doesn't accept the transfer within one day, the invitation will expire.
• To transfer a repository that you own to an organization, you must have permission to create a repository in the target organization.

I expected GitHub to send a confirmation email to @OpenMandrivaSoftware's owner(s) instead.

On sourceforge, go to
https://sourceforge.net/p/osspd/admin/overview
There, on the right, you can say "Moved Project to:" and replace it with a pointer to the new URL.

[Nikratio]

That just gives me a "Forbidden" error, sorry. (Yes, I am logged in).
