Hi,

I've talked to our great Eclipse webmasters and they are in the process of 
recovering the lost files. They are recovering files from tape, which 
should take some time to complete. They promised to have everything 
restored tomorrow morning. 
I'll do the sync with CVS tomorrow after I hear from them, and let you 
know that you can proceed with your work on CVS. 

As you can imagine, the backup will recover files saved on tape early this 
morning (5AM ET today). If you committed work after this, you most likely 
will need to redo the work tomorrow. Apologies for any inconvenience. 
Please keep your local copies, so you can assess if you lost any commits.

Btw, the affected folders were:
org.eclipse.epf/libraries/EPF_Practices_Library/
org.eclipse.epf/libraries/EPF_Method_Authoring/
org.eclipse.epf/libraries/OpenUP/

I'll keep you posted if I have more information. And let me know if you 
have any questions.
Thanks,

Ricardo.

Subject
[epf-dev] IMPORTANT: Data loss from CVS







Dear committers (mostly content committers) 

We've experienced some weird behavior in CVS today. It looks like all the 
files from the content folders in CVS have been moved to Attic folders 
(like being deleted). The original folder structure is intact though - 
only files were deleted. And other structures, like tool, website, etc, 
have not been affected. 
We need a way to revert those files back from Attic to their original 
locations. I'm talking thousands of files, most likely, so I've contatcted 
Eclipse webmasters asking for their help to revert to previous state. 

The impacted folders are under: 
/home/data/cvs/technology/org.eclipse.epf/libraries/ 

Please refrain from doing any interaction with CVS until further notice. 
Do not commit work, or you may loose what you commit when we restore the 
previous files. Do not try to checkout or sync with CVS either, as the 
files are not in their original locations and your local view of CVS may 
be affected during a sync. 

I'll keep you posted when I hear back from Eclipse webmasters. 

Thank you for your patience, 

Ricardo Balduino. _______________________________________________
