Having the same problem, and I hear that many others have as well. Is this a problem with SourceForge? Essjay On 3/15/06, Heinz <h-j.luecking(a)t-online.de> wrote:

Public Health Alert: SourceForge anon CVS is known to be shit. And the regular access isn't much better, either. I expect it's borked right now, give it a few. Rob Church On 15/03/06, - Essjay - <essjaywiki(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Their svn-service at the moment is much better than their cvs-access. On 3/15/06, Rob Church <robchur(a)gmail.com> wrote:

From thier status page:

(* 2006-03-13 12:42:16* - Project CVS Service ) As of 2006-03-12 pserver (anonymous) CVS services, along with tarballs and ViewCVS are down for projects that start with the letters e, i, j, o, v, w and x. We hope to resolve this issue in the next 2 days. Hmmm, so much for next two days.... Essjay On 3/15/06, Carl Fûrstenberg <azatoth(a)gmail.com> wrote:

My experience trying to get us set up on the SVN beta program was not great: * Our repo didn't import cleanly, we needed manual intervention. If we wanted to switch for real now we'd need to get it wiped and manually imported again. This took a few days on the limited-participation beta. * The mail notification script was badly configured and they've locked down plugins so much you can't customize it, so we had to wait a couple weeks for them to change the options to include a diff. * It took about a month after we requested it to set up the plugin for CIA-bot, something we could have done ourselves in a few minutes if they hadn't chosen the locked-down configuration they did. So if we do switch, I'm more inclined to set up our own server than to use SourceForge's SVN. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)

If you are setting up your own server (which would be certainly the best thing to do), you might want to have a look at www.perforce.com. It is commercial, closed source, but they provide free licenses for open source projects (unlimited access for read only). They'd probably love to give you free support on top of that if they could say you use it for Wikimedia. Sorry for that ad. But I'm a fan of it (successful user). It's better than SVN.

That'll be a no, then. :) -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)
