All R-Forge users will be notified in the next days with more details. Everyone is encouraged to migrate to other services soon. I migrated my projects to #Codeberg and wrote up a how-to in blog post - also useful for GitHub/GitLab/etc. www.zeileis.org/news/rforge_...

🚨 After 20 years of service, the R-Forge code-sharing platform will be retired. #rstats Timeline: - Until end of 2026: Normal operations. - Jan 2027: Switch to read-only, but SVN continues to work. - Jan 2028: SVN also read-only. Reason: The underlying FusionForge software is no longer maintained.
