[gmx-developers] Switching Infrastructure to Gitlab

[Paul bauer]

Hello and good morning again,

there will be some more downtime than expected, because the transfer of 
issues to Gitlab crashed over night.
Also, I'll need to rename the current GROMACS project to something else, 
as the Gitlab API does not allow renumbering issues and I would have to 
upload the issues again starting at the point of the crash this night.
To make sure numbers make sense, I'll create a new project, upload the 
database there (hopefully now in one go), upload the repository to it, 
change the current GROMACS project to GROMACS-mirror, and then move the 
new project back to GROMACS.

If this sounds convoluted I have to agree it is, but this seems to be 
the only way.

Will get back to you again later once I'm done.

Cheers

Paul
