Due to two recent developments, large parts of the FlightGear project are going to be moving. The first is the announcement that Gitorious.org will shut down in May 2015 ([https://about.gitlab.com/2015/03/03/gitlab-acquires-gitorious/ read more]) and that Google Code will shut down in 2016 ([http://google-opensource.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/farewell-to-google-code.html read more]). This means that all the source code (SimGear and FlightGear), the bug tracker, and [[TerraSync]]{{clarify}} are moving. In addition, just previous to these developments, [[fgdata]] was split, see [[#fgdata split|below]] for details. | |||

All repositories of the FlightGear project have been synchronized to [http://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/_list/git SourceForge]. '''No more work should be pushed to Gitorious an more.''' Except for fgdata, all others are mirrors of the original and a new clone is not necessary. All you have to do is update your remote URL(s) and pull as usual. | All repositories of the FlightGear project have been synchronized to [http://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/_list/git SourceForge.net].

The bug tracker has moved to http://sourceforge.net/p/codetickets. All old issue/feature requests have been preserved. {{tl|Issue}} has been updated ([http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php?title=Template:Issue&diff=82555&oldid=72743 diff]). | |||

After lots of hard work by Torsten D, a new, more compact [[fgdata]] repository ([[base package]]) has now been created. Located at http://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/fgdata/, this new fgdata has had all aircraft (except for the [[C172p]] and [[UFO]]) stripped from it, as well as the histories of the Scenery, AI, and Models directories<ref name="multiple">{{cite web | After lots of hard work by Torsten D, a new, more compact [[fgdata]] repository ([[base package]]) has now been created.
