09/04/2023, 1:25 PMAn important announcement about KScience projects. Since 2019 we were hosting our projects in a JetBrains Space instance. Sadly, we were notified that we can no longer use it after September 15 because our team association with MIPT, which is under USA sanctions (though our projects are fully open source and not associated with MIPT in any way). It means a lot of additional work on infrastructure for us, but more importantly it means a disruption of supply chain for our projects. For example development artifacts were hosted in Space. We will work on replacing our tooling with simpler instruments, but it will take time. Also we do not have any funding for our projects, so we will have to prioritize other work. So, here is the summary:
• Development builds (I mean maven repositories) for Plotly-kt, KMath, VisionForge, DataForge-core, Controls-kt and other projects could stop working. We will restore them in a new repository, but it will take time.
• Github projects are still mirrored to https://github.com/SciProgCentre. The primary repository is at https://git.sciprog.center/kscience. Gitea does not support two-side mirroring. So there could be hiccups with synchronization.
• Issue tracking will be gradually moved to https://sciprog.center/youtrack/issues/KS?u=1 (YouTrack license is frozen as well, but we have a stand-alone version).
If by any chance there are people, who want to support KScience infrastructure (with all sponsor benefits), please contact me.

Thanks @dzikoysk for a great https://github.com/dzikoysk/reposilite project. It allows us to migrate our repositories as smooth as possible.
