== Project restructuring ==
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 this year ([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.net].  '''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.
