Bug Description
GitLab has aquired Gitorious and will shut the site down at the end of May 2015: https:/
"Starting today, Gitorious.org users can import their existing projects into GitLab.com by clicking the “Import projects from Gitorious.org” link when creating a new project. Gitorious.org will stay online until the end of May 2015 to give people time to migrate their repositories. Existing users of Gitorious on-premises can contact <email address hidden> for more information."
Mahara's "official" main code repository is still on Gitorious, as are many of our utility repositories (the manual, deployment scripts, etc). We also have scripts that reference the gitorious address, and project listings that tell people to access our source code at gitorious. Apparently all of this will need to change before the end of May.

I've taken the step of importing all our Gitorious repositories into Gitlab: https:/ /gitlab. com/groups/ mahara
We'll need to discuss at the next developer meeting whether we want to use Gitlab as the replacement for Gitorious, or whether we want to find a different service to use.
