Hi,
I use to use some of the tools of the user soxred93. but for last few days it shows that the user account has been expired. Is there any way to up those tools?
thanks nasir
It's true, most of the tools were overtaken by another user, can you tell us which tools are still broken? I myself would prefer to move all these tools to wikimedia labs, as soon as it's possible, which would allow us to manage them together without separating it tool per user (eg no ~soxred/files but toolname/files) where all tools would have own git repository and devs could just update them together and push to "production".
Thanks

fwiw, the same thing has been possible on the toolserver for quite a while now: Multi-maintainer projects (MMP)
maybe they're aren't used enough when making a tool but (I think) you can't blame the roots for that and (I guess/hope) making new MMPs is a relatively cheap/easy process.

(Also, this whole thread belongs on toolserver-l I think?)

You would first need to have a db copy on labs. Yes, the code is available. And restoring their access is as simple as having soxred request their account to be reactivated. There are some holes in that code, though.
Tparis has the full source code of those tools, and looks like he has already brought them up on his own account. See https://toolserver.org/~tparis.
I am not sure if he has everything up.

Could we (in general) *please* not do this? If someones tools are important enough to be taken over by someone else, they are most certainly important enough for a multi-maintainer project. In {one month, one year, five years}, Tparis' account will also expire and we will have the same problem all over again.

Hope the source is somewhere, and depending on the licenses attached to the account ask the roots if it'd be possible to move to an active account.
these two tools are unavailable

thanks, these tools are available to https://toolserver.org/~tparis , And it is preferable to move all the tools to the labs. https://toolserver.org/%7Etparis
