uchardet is an encoding detector (likely going to become a language detector as well). Current repository is: https://github.com/BYVoid/uchardet/ I am the new maintainer and I have agreed with the previous maintainer that it could be worth hosting it in a more neutral place than a personal github account. Cf.: https://github.com/BYVoid/uchardet/issues/22#issuecomment-194234031 I started moving it to GNOME but I am still waiting to get a project in the bugzilla and after some thoughts, I think this is much more a FreeDesktop project, as a shared technology, not desktop specific. - project name: uchardet - who can approve new members: Jehan (me) - git hosting: yes please. - description (for git or bugzilla): uchardet is an encoding detector library, which takes a sequence of bytes in an unknown character encoding and attempts to determine the encoding of the text. Returned encoding names are iconv-compatible. - bugzilla: yes, please. - bugzilla components: * General: anything which cannot be classified. * Language/encoding: anything related to a specific language and/or encoding. All default assignees are myself for now. - mailing list: uchardet@lists.freedesktop.org - file upload: yes for release tarballs. - Website: can I have a website area? Nothing fancy, I just need a single text page (probably holding the text which is in the README right now).
Hi, this looks reasonable. Can you file a bug asking for an account as well (providing your SSH and GPG keys)?
Done in bug 96328!
(In reply to Jehan from comment #2) > Done in bug 96328! I created the account and the bugzilla product/components (I also added the referenced ML as a CC: for every bug). Tollef, can you create the git project? I do not have the rights to do this.
Thanks. I'll wait for the git repository. Ready to move the code. :-) For the web page, you are using the wiki right? So basically I would set up a page on https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/uchardet/ for instance? Or is there something else? If I have to set up a wiki page, how do I get an account? I can't find a page about this procedure.
Hello, Any news on this? :-) My migration is ready to happen, at the tip of my finger as soon as I get a repository! ;-) Thanks.
I've created the uchardet repo now, it should show up on cgit.freedesktop.org in a few minutes with URLs you can push to. As for uploading releases, you can do that to annarchy:/srv/www.freedesktop.org/www/software/uchardet Wiki access is documented on https://wiki.freedesktop.org/sitewranglers/wiki/401/
