Summary

Prepend an archive banner to pg_mfserv's README that:

  • Marks the repository as archived and no longer maintained.
  • Points readers to the active successor: MobilityDB/MobilityAPI.
  • Credits the founding-phase contributors (@mschoema initial author, Victor Morabito main developer), ULB-affiliated.
  • Frames the repository as preserved for historical reference and scholarly attribution.

The existing 51-line README content is preserved unchanged below the banner; only the banner is prepended.

Companion PR

This is the symmetric companion to MobilityDB/MobilityAPI#1 which adds:

  • An acknowledgements section in MobilityAPI's README crediting pg_mfserv.
  • An AUTHORS.md listing all contributors across both phases.
  • A CITATION.cff with references: block citing pg_mfserv as predecessor work.

The two PRs together give bidirectional credit:

  • pg_mfserv credits MobilityAPI as successor (this PR).
  • MobilityAPI credits pg_mfserv as predecessor (companion PR).

After merge

The repository will be archived (read-only) immediately after this PR merges, mirroring the recent archives of MobilityDB-python and MobilityDB-JDBC. The git history, all issues / PRs / clones / external links continue to resolve via GitHub's archive mechanism.

Cc

  • @MrMaxime1er — main developer of pg_mfserv; courtesy review on the contribution description.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Prepends a top-of-file archive banner to pg_mfserv's README that:

- Marks the repository as archived and no longer maintained.
- Points readers to the active successor MobilityDB/MobilityAPI.
- Credits the founding-phase contributors (Maxime Schoemans
  initial author, Victor Morabito main developer), ULB-affiliated.
- Frames the repository as preserved for historical reference and
  scholarly attribution rather than active use.

Existing README content is preserved unchanged below the banner;
only the banner is prepended.

This is the symmetric companion to MobilityDB/MobilityAPI's
lineage-credits PR (where the README, AUTHORS, and CITATION.cff
all credit pg_mfserv as the predecessor). After this banner
lands, the pg_mfserv repository will be archived (one click).
