Point to OmniLayer/omnicore

[dexX7]

There should be a very visible reference of the new repo location:

https://github.com/OmniLayer/omnicore

[zathras-crypto]

Any suggestions on what to use for this?

[dexX7]

A readme.md file with a huge "moved to xyz" note. It's not that straight forward though, because until now the "main" branch was the "last stable" branch, and adding a note to the 0.0.10 branch has probably no visibility.

So how about.. creating a new, empty branch, which has only a readme with the note, as well as links to the 0.0.8 and 0.0.9 branches? This branch could then be used as "main" branch, and should probably called "master".

As far as I can see this should not interfere with the CI server, which explicitly uses the mscore-0.0.9 branch for the omnicore-integration job, but final confirmation of @msgilligan wouldn't hurt nevertheless.

Somewhat related:

http://www.omnilayer.org/ points to mastercoin-MSC/mastercore, which is probably fine at the very moment, but more importantly: there is a reference of mastercoin-MSC/mastercore/blob/mscore-0.0.8/doc/build-unix.md, which is outdated, and it should probably point to the latest release instead.

[msgilligan]

Yes, that should be fine as long as mscore-0.0.9 is still there. At some point, I'll need to point to the new repo and omnicore-integration should come from 0.0.10 and omnicore-stable should be 0.0.9. This will be complicated by the fact that they're going to want different blockchains.

I don't think we should in any way be encouraging people to use 0.0.8 branches, they're out of consensus and should not be used under any circumstances I can think of (no STO support). Other than that I'm happy to use this method and just stick a readme in there to point to the old repo.

This branch could then be used as "main" branch, and should probably called "master".

What would you see happen when we release 0.0.10? Amend the readme to point to that branch or publish 0.0.10 into master?

Can't help there I'm afraid, I have no access or info on that site.

Good point! I was just thinking about pointing out "look, the old code isn't gone, it's still there".

Ah, I was actually thinking about a README.md for mastercoin-MSC/mastercore, to reference the new location OmniLayer/omnicore, so users can learn about the move.

[zathras-crypto]

so users can learn about the move

That makes much more sense :) Though I'm not sure we should be pointing people here yet or they may clone and build omnicore-0.0.10 deploying it before it's released?

[dexX7]

I see not much harm, if users start to test the 0.10 based branch, but using it in production environments is probably less ideal, even though it shouldn't be consensus breaking. How about something like:

This project has moved to:

https://github.com/OmniLayer/omnicore

Note: omnicore-0.0.10 is not ready, nor intended, for mainnet use at this point.

The latest stable release 0.0.9.1-rel can be found here:

https://github.com/mastercoin-MSC/mastercore/releases/tag/v0.0.9.1

To keep up with the current progress, please keep an eye on the the Omni blog:

Absolutely, the more testing the better :)

How about something like

That sounds good to me - I think I have the rights needed to do it... Before I do any other feedback anyone?

Who maintains http://www.omnilayer.org/?

It's a no-go, in my opinion, to point to mastercore-0.0.8, which is out of consensus, so I'd really like to see an update on this.

Further, OmniJ should be listed there as well.

Paging @achamely @CraigSellars - they have control over the website AFAIK.

[achamely]

Pages in github sometimes seem to get lost in my email (trying to update my filters to be more recognizing of them.) I've updated omnilayer.org for the moment to at least point to the 0.0.9 branch/releases/api etc.. @zathras-crypto if we want to get an announcement.rd file or add a new section to the Readme.Rd file on the 0.0.9 branch i can directly point to that for the udpate for now.

@dexX7's wording looks pretty spot on to me.
