|
|||
|
||||
First, follow the procedure for creating a new channel, including submitting
|
||||
the appropriate changes to Gerrit for logging, accessbot, etc and adding the
|
||||
proper credentials for the openstackinfra account.
|
||||
proper credentials for the opendevaccess account.
|
||||
|
||||
The following commands start the process of renaming of the channel, they
|
||||
need to be run by a founder of the channels or a member of infra-root::
|
||||
Once those changes merge, or using some combination of Depends-On and/or WIP
|
||||
status to ensure they don't merge before the others, propose changes to remove
|
||||
the entries for the old channel from the same files. For the accessbot
|
||||
:config:`channels.yaml` in particular, don't remove the channel but merely
|
||||
comment it out with the current date so we'll know when it's safe for to
|
||||
completely unregister::
|
||||
|
||||
/MSG ChanServ op #openstack-project-old
|
||||
/MSG ChanServ op #openstack-project-new
|
||||
/TOPIC #openstack-project-old We have moved to #openstack-project-new, please
|
||||
/part and then type /join #openstack-project-new to get to us
|
||||
/MSG ChanServ SET #openstack-project-old GUARD ON
|
||||
/MSG ChanServ SET #openstack-project-old MLOCK +tnsmif #openstack-project-new
|
||||
/MSG ChanServ SET #openstack-project-old TOPICLOCK ON
|
||||
/MSG ChanServ SET #openstack-project-old PRIVATE ON
|
||||
channels:
|
||||
- name: bar
|
||||
- name: baz
|
||||
# - name: foo RETIRED 2021-06-02
|
||||
- name: plugh
|
||||
- name: xyzzy
|
||||
|
||||
Once that is complete, all new attempts to join the old channel will be
|
||||
automatically redirected to the new channel. No one can rejoin the old
|
||||
channel.
|
||||
Once that is complete, a channel operator should set the topic string for the
|
||||
old channel to indicate that discussions have moved to the new channel::
|
||||
|
||||
/msg chanserv set #foo topic Discussion has moved to #bar, find us there
|
||||
|
||||
Optionally an entry message can be added for anyone joining as a reminder::
|
||||
|
||||
/msg chanserv set #foo entrymessage This channel is unused, we're in #bar
|
||||
|
||||
Periodically, someone should sweep the accessbot channels for any comments
|
||||
indicating a channel has been retired for at least 6 months, propose a change
|
||||
to clean up those comments, and manually unregister each corresponding
|
||||
channel::
|
||||
|
||||
/msg chanserv drop #foo
