Tully has announced on ros-users that everybody should migrate repositories away from kforge.ros.org <http://kforge.ros.org> / code.ros.org <http://code.ros.org>

Simply because we have (nearly) no control over these servers anymore and they might go away anytime.
Yes, OSRF does control ros.org by now.
But we do not host any repository via ros.org.
You should migrate them to available hosting platforms like GitHub, BitBucket, SourceForge, <fill in whatever you like>.If you have any suggestions to avoid that please let us know.
If the repos have not yet been migrated I can only advise every maintainer to grab their code and put it somewhere else or it might suddenly disappear...
When it does, a lot of Electric and Fuerte users are going to be very unhappy. And, the ROS wiki will be badly broken.
