Upstream repos migrated, how to update imported branches?

Asked by OXullo Intersecans

We recently migrated from self-hosted svn to github, leaving the old repo in r/o. All the imports should be updated and I found no way to change them. Is there any way for me to do it? According to other questions on the topic, it looks like I'm missing an edit button.

The imports mapping are (lp, old -> new)

lp:python-libavg https://www.libavg.de/svn/trunk/libavg -> https://github.com/libavg/libavg
lp:empcommand https://www.libavg.de/svn/trunk/avg_media/mtc/emp_command -> https://github.com/libavg/mtc-emp_command
lp:planarity https://www.libavg.de/svn/trunk/avg_media/mtc/planarity -> https://github.com/libavg/mtc-planarity
lp:mttroff https://www.libavg.de/svn/trunk/avg_media/mtc/troff -> https://github.com/libavg/mtc-troff
lp:sponc https://www.libavg.de/svn/trunk/avg_media/mtc/sponc -> https://github.com/libavg/mtc-sponc
lp:magictouch https://www.libavg.de/svn/trunk/avg_media/mtc/magictouch -> https://github.com/libavg/mtc-magictouch
lp:geneatd https://www.libavg.de/svn/trunk/avg_media/mtc/geneatd -> https://github.com/libavg/mtc-geneatd
lp:multitetris https://www.libavg.de/svn/trunk/avg_media/mtc/multitet -> https://github.com/libavg/mtc-multitet

Thank you very much for your support

It's not possible to switch an import from Subversion to Git, as the repositories are completely unrelated from a VCS sense. You'll need to register new imports, then switch the lp:PROJECT aliases using the edit link next to it on the projects' home pages.

I started changing them before I noticed that the old URLs were to Subversion repositories, but I've switched them back. Once you've created the new repositories and switched the aliases over, let me know here and I'll mark all the old imports as invalid.

Thank you very much for your answer. I finally managed to get past the code hosting setting, assigning the alias lp:PROJECT to the new imports from github.
I'm facing an issue, though: the packaging branches (hosted only on launchpad) are now unrelated to the new imported branch.
The only dumb solution I found is to bzr merge -r0..-1 lp:PROJECT and solve the conflicts.
Any smarter suggestion?

Thanks!
