Re: [pcre-dev] PCRE infrastructure is moving

Thank you for your comments. In fact, I had just come to the same
conclusion myself about splitting the project.

GitHub provides a Releases page for each project, where you can create a
release associated with a git tag.
This page lets you upload your own binaries for each release.

I have set up a repo on GitHub (PhilipHazel:pcre2) and managed to import
the SVN data, including the commit history. This is where future
development will happen (at present, I've just added some holding comments
into some of the doc files). I needed the good luck you sent - and the help
of several people when I was being totally clueless, but it is now done.

I must learn more about the Releases feature, because I don't think I have
yet understood what "create release" actually does. If I can build my own
tarballs and just upload them, along with the signatures, that would be
great. The alternative of using a GitHub site has been pointed out.

As for the mailing list, I like having postings just pop up in my inbox
rather than having to go to GitHub to look at Discussions, though I will
investigate that possibility. People without GitHub accounts need to have
access to whatever is set up. I'm now thinking of using a Google Group.

Regards,
Philip
