The

rewritten in early January. While this was primarily done to support
the data center
migration<http://wikitech.wikimedia.org/view/Eqiad_Migration_Planning>ng>,
this was the first time ExtensionDistributor had received any signification
attention since the migration to Git. The new version now utilizes the
Github API to generate extension snapshots. We hope that the new version
will be more reliable for users. SVN-based extensions are no longer
supported, but this is not expected to impact many users since these
extensions are largely unmaintained (all popular and active extensions have
long since moved to Gerrit). As always, these extensions will remain in SVN
should anyone still want the code.
Also worth mentioning, our SVN is now read-only.
