Migrate CSDS reader

[loikki]

Hey guys,

I hope you are doing well :)

There is some interest at the EPFL to go back to the CSDS. If you don't mind, I will migrate the repository to gitlab.com so that we don't bother you with requests for adding someone to the cosma gitlab.

Best,
Loic

Welcome back!

Any reason not to keep it on the github here?

I am not sure what you mean by keeping. The project is currently on durham's gitlab (github is manipulating the link and redirect it wrongly to github).

I largely prefer gitlab for a few different reasons (among them is that I am used to the CI/CD there and I have my own runners) and I have all my projects on it.

Hi Loic!

Yes, it's been a while :)

And happy to hear there's continuing interest in CSDS! My only concern regarding migrating the repository is whether/how swiftsim will link to any newer and improved version.

Cheers, Pedro

This will not change from the current setup. We still need to create some PRs to swift in order to update the commit reference.

The current setup is relatively easy for people to use. Even if we forget about updating it, people can still do a git checkout main and get the last version.

Why not keep it on the SWIFTSIM github alongside the other SWIFT-related tools and libraries?

I refuse to host my code on anything related to microsoft. I don't see the point of writing open source software on a closed source platform.
