Java's SVN not reachable on Alioth [Fwd: Re: Alioth status update, take 3]



Hello,

I sent the below email to Roland before my holiday but didn't get any answer and the problem is still there.

Does one of you have a more direct access to Roland or anybody else able to solve or advise on how to solve the issue?

Thanks, Eric

Hello Roland,

the pkg-java project had an outdated CVS repository and an active SVN one,
and the address http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-java leads to the CVS and I
couldn't find any way to reach the SVN repository;
http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc also links to CVS.

I haven't informed yet the other guys from debian-java, I would need to if
there would be a need to make a decision CVS vs. SVN, but I wanted first
to get your opinion on this issue.

Thanks, Eric

  Hi again,

  Status update for the Alioth situation:

- the mailing-lists @lists.alioth.debian.org have started flowing again;
  please allow some time for the backlog to be fully processed;

- read/write access to the repositories through SSH happen on
  vasks.debian.org; the repositories have adresses that look like
  $scm.debian.org/$scm/$project, for $scm in arch bzr cvs darcs git hg
  svn;

- anonymous read-only access to the repositories is available by HTTP
  from wagner, at URLs that look like
  http://anonscm.debian.org/$scm/$project for $scm in arch bzr darcs git
  hg;

- Git and Subversion also allow anonymous read-only access to the
  repositories through a dedicated protocol, with URLs such as
  git://anonscm.debian.org/$project/$project.git and
  svn://anonscm.debian.org/$project/; I can't seem to get the equivalent
  for CVS (pserver) to work right now;

- repository browsers for the major SCM tools are also available from
  wagner, see http://anonscm.debian.org/ for the links.

  We should now be in the phase where we pretend it's done, wait for the
complaints, and fix the problems as they are reported (or laugh them off
when they come from the too-common expectation that Alioth can be used
to run any random stuff by anyone).

Roland.
