Hello!

For quite some time now, there’s been a desire in the Asterisk project to move the project source control from Subversion to Git. After a lot of work and planning, we believe we are finally able to start that process.

Starting on Monday, April 13th, the Asterisk project’s Subversion repository will be set to read-only. New changes will no longer be made in any of the Subversion branches. A new Git repository for the Asterisk project will be set up using Gerrit [1] as the primary repository, with mirrors conveniently located at git.asterisk.org [2].

While we’ve done a lot of work to plan for this migration, things can
(and probably will) happen during this process. As such, there may be some hiccups during the next week or two while we iron out the finer points that such a large change will have on the project. If you are used to pulling directly from the project’s Subversion repository, please be patient as we make this leap. At the same time, if you do happen to encounter any issues, please don’t hesitate to send an e-mail to the asterisk-dev mailing list [3] or talk with the developers in the #asterisk-dev IRC channel.

As always, thanks for supporting the Asterisk project!

Matt
