Major environment update requires downtime and modifies repository URIs

We are about to deploy a larger change of the environment, which will affect how you access the repositories. After the deployment a project will be able to have more than one repository. The path from where you access the repositories will change from ​https://projects.developer.nokia.com/$repo_type/$project_name to ​https://projects.developer.nokia.com/$project_name/$repo_type/$repo_name. For already existing projects the repository name will be the same as the project name.

The tools for managing Subversion and Git repositories can be used to relocate the existing local copies/clones. Please refer to the manual of the tool you are using to manage the version control system.

The deployment will happen on Tuesday, May 7th and the entire service will be unaccessible during this time. We will start the deployment around 7 am Finnish time, and it is estimated to last 2 – 3 hours.

Permissions update made some projects private

Recent software update improving the permission system of projects made some public projects private. The projects are still accessible by all users, but their visibility status is “private”. This could lead to some weird behavior, and, for instance, announcement created are not shown on the Projects front page.

There is an easy way to fix the problem: Simply navigate to permissions settings page (Admin -> Permissions) and click the “Make public” button.
