Universal Migration Note Template

For all files, consider adding this general notice at the top:

---
**🏛️ Historical Code Archive Notice**

This publication references code repositories that have been migrated from SVN to Git. All referenced code is preserved at:
- **Archive:** [github.com/ftsrg/viatra-svn-archive](https://github.com/ftsrg/viatra-svn-archive)
- **Current VIATRA:** [Eclipse VIATRA](https://www.eclipse.org/viatra/)
- **Train Benchmark:** [github.com/ftsrg/trainbenchmark](https://github.com/ftsrg/trainbenchmark)

Implementation Strategy

Phase 1: Automated Replacement

  1. Use find/replace to update all base URLs:

    • Find: https://viatra.inf.mit.bme.hu/svn/
    • Replace: https://github.com/ftsrg/viatra-svn-archive/tree/main/

  2. Handle specific path adjustments:

    • Remove /trunk from stochsim/trunk/ → stochsim/
    • Remove /trunk from dse/trunk/ → dse/
    • Remove /trunk from experimental/trunk/ → experimental/

Phase 2: Add Context Notes

  1. Add migration notes to each affected file
  2. Include references to current active projects where applicable
  3. Maintain academic integrity by preserving original URLs in footnotes if needed

Phase 3: Validation

  1. Verify all new GitHub URLs are accessible
  2. Ensure path structures match the archived repository
  3. Test that the linked code corresponds to the described functionality

Benefits of This Migration

  1. Accessibility: GitHub provides better browsing, search, and navigation
  2. Reliability: No dependency on legacy SVN server infrastructure
  3. Integration: Links work with modern development workflows
  4. Preservation: Complete archive ensures long-term availability
  5. Context: Clear migration notes help readers understand the evolution

Post-Migration Maintenance

  • Monitor the viatra-svn-archive repository for any structural changes
  • Update links if the archive repository is moved or renamed
  • Consider adding archived dates to maintain temporal context
  • Periodically verify that all URLs remain accessible

Total Impact: 34 SVN URLs across 5 markdown files will be updated to point to the GitHub archive, with appropriate migration notes added to provide context about the code evolution and current project status.
