move evil-surround to the emacs-evil org

[ninrod]

I have @timcharper blessing to move evil-surround to the evil org.

How should we go about this?

[TheBB]

That's awesome. I have invited you to the organization. When you accept, I'll create an empty repository called evil-surround for you and give you write access to it. Then you can push it there, change whatever URLs you need to, and then finally go to MELPA and update its build URL.

[TheBB]

Of course I can do the migration too, if that's what @wasamasa wants.

[wasamasa]

It might be better for @TheBB to do the migration so that issues can be transferred. The whole point of @ninrod taking over maintainership was to get the package into better shape, no?

[edkolev]

As a regular evil-surround user, I'm willing to contribute to evil-surrond.

However, the lack of tests in that repo is a show-stopper for me. For example, VSb behaves differently in emacs than in vim -- emacs doesn't indent after surrounding, plus inserts a fake line 4-5 spaces below the newly surrounded line. So far I've preferred to cleanup the spaces and indent myself, rather than deal with a zero-tests repo.

@ninrod let me know if you want help with improving the evil-surround package

[ninrod]

folks, this is great news.

Migrating the issues should be useful. if @TheBB can do that, awesome.

@edkolev, by all means please let us all write some tests for evil-surround! Yes let's all improve the package! maybe even setup travis and coverage analysis. I don't know how to do that, so it should be fun and I'll learn much elisp in the process.

[TheBB]

The easiest way to do this is to get @timcharper to transfer ownership of the repo to us. That will bring issues and PRs along with it. I've sent him an invite to the organization so when he accepts, he will be able to go into the admin page for his own repo and transfer ownership. @ninrod I assume you can ping him to do this.

[ninrod]

@TheBB, yes I can ping him. If I understand correctly, he must transfer the ownership of the repo to the github.com/emacs-evil organization, right?

[TheBB]

Yes

[ninrod]

@TheBB, @timcharper responded my ping just a few minutes ago. He said this:

Found the invite; transfer initiated. Thanks!

[TheBB]

Excellent, you both have write access automatically I see. Once you have changed the melpa recipe this can be closed then.

[ninrod]

awesome! I should be able to work on this soon.

[ninrod]

just an update: I have submitted pull 4785 to melpa. Just waiting for that to be merged in to close this.

[ninrod]

Gentleman, seems that we're live. #4785 is merged in melpa.

[wasamasa]

Great!
