Make Alioth website repository read-only

This will need to wait until we have updated that site sufficiently to point users to GitLab.

To make the Alioth repository read-only, the following need to be taken care of:

  • make update-htdocs pull from GitLab.com (by changing the clone's remote)
  • make Alioth repositories read-only
  • verify that the GitLab mirrors are up-to-date
  • stop mirroring
  • update the project description
  • update the website (see website@02240289)

Making the Alioth repositories read-only can be done by making the pre-receive hook on Alioth exit with a non-success status. The script should echo information on where push requests should be directed from here on and how to switch a local repository over.
