Moving Quark repos

For political reasons, I want to move my repos away from GitHub. I’m the maintainer of TuningLib, which actually has a few users and I’d like them to be able to keep getting bug fixes and so forth.

Is there to automagically redirect them to a codeberg repo?

(If not currently, could this get put into a future version?)

The best way is to create a PR on GitHub - supercollider-quarks/quarks: Directory of community contributed Quarks for SuperCollider where you change the URL of your repo to the new codeberg one within directory.txt.
But only users who would install TuningLib new would obtain the content of the new repo!

The current Quark system is fundamentally flawed on many levels - maybe we could add a way to change the origin based on the directory.txt, but this could introduce further problems if people modified the git repo to use a custom fork…

I hope that I’ll have a new package management ready for 3.15, which hopefully gets rid of all the problems of the current Quark system.
