Hi, In the recent years, CHICKEN has been facing a reality where the number of active maintainers is decreasing, and the load on the infrastructure and the effort to maintain it is increasing, mostly due to the new trends related to LLMs.
As a reaction to that, we are simplifying our services to be able to keep them running as responsibly as we can with the resources we have, in a scenario where we have to take into account abuses from LLM crawlers. So far the current services have been simplified and, with that, limitations follow: * Gitweb, which provided an interface to browse the git repositories hosted at call-cc.org, has been disabled and replaced with a much more limited interface based on static HTML files: https://code.call-cc.org/githtml/ . * The more featureful web interface to browse the SVN repository, provided by Trac, has also been disabled. https://code.call-cc.org/svn/chicken-eggs/ is still available (anonymous login with empty password), but provides a much more simplified interface. * The history of pages in our wiki, previously available through its web interface, has been disabled. Since the backend storage of the wiki is SVN, history is still available if you check out the SVN repository. Being SVN, partial checkouts are possible. * The bug tracker, Trac, has been replaced with tick (https://wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/5/tick), a tool we have developed to keep track of CHICKEN issues. As with web interface for git repositories, tickets are now available in read-only format as static HTML pages at Trac's previous location (https://bugs.call-cc.org/). The basic URLs to view tickets have been preserved, including the mapping to Trac ticket ids. The documentation on how to report issues has been updated: https://wiki.call-cc.org/support * Not yet done, but we will shut down paste.call-cc.org. Although it is convenient and is a practical CHICKEN application, it is not deemed essential to our infrastructure and is currently unmaintained. If you want to maintain and host it, feel free to reach out and we'll make paste.call-cc.org resolve to your server. Apologies in case these changes cause any inconvenience to your workflows. All the best. Mario (on behalf of the CHICKEN team) -- https://parenteses.org/mario
