Need new home for XEmacs
Description of the projects to be hosted
XEmacs is an open-source project that has existed since 1998 or so.
For many years, it has been hosted on Bitbucket:
https://bitbucket.org/%7B3b4cf16a-308f-4e0a-a7cc-f0d363c12b0c%7D/
I request to move the development repositories as well as the website repo over to Heptapod FOSS.
I'd be happy to put acknowledgements on the xemacs.org website.
To recapitulate, these are:
-
Free / Open Source -
main development repositories -
agreement to acknowledge where appropriate the help provided by Octobus and Clever Cloud by hosting on foss.heptapod.net -
currently hosted on Bitbucket -
officially released
Your help would be much appreciated!
Post approval maintainer task list:
See README for explanations.

Reviewing Heptapod workflow
Post import maintainer task list:
-
Clone the project afresh from foss.heptapod.net. -
Check that the repository looks good: branches are as expected in the clone and the web interface, with no wild
branches unless there are known multiple heads. -
Check that issues are imported, and notably that all open issues are there. Watch for attachments etc. -
Check that Pull Requests are imported, and in particular take a close look at the resulting open Merge Requests - they should be backed by a topic. Make sure you can navigate these in the fresh clone. -
Check that against foss.heptapod.net, hg outgoing
andhg incoming
from a prior clone are as expected -
Add the Octobus and Clever cloud acknowledgement at the selected place.
