Hi here,

SF datacenter change.

And a beautiful message of a guy, Christian Walde (another mailing list) :

\begin{snip}
For those who aren't aware, or for those whose mind it has slipped:

I run on one of my servers a bunch of very simplicistic cron scripts that
mirror the SourceForge git repositories to github.

Particularly:

pdl.git
pdl-book.git
pdl-fftw.git
pdl-graphics-plplot.git
pdl-io-hdf5.git
pdl-linearalgebra.git

The command used for each is a simple:

[alias]
    update-mirror = !git fetch -q origin && git push -q github

My cron looks like this:

[email protected]

0-59/5 * * * * cd /root/pdl_repo_mirrors/pdl.git && git update-mirror
1-59/5 * * * * cd /root/pdl_repo_mirrors/pdl-linearalgebra.git && git
update-mirror
2-59/5 * * * * cd /root/pdl_repo_mirrors/pdl-book.git && git update-mirror
3-59/5 * * * * cd /root/pdl_repo_mirrors/pdl-graphics-plplot.git && git
update-mirror
4-59/5 * * * * cd /root/pdl_repo_mirrors/pdl-io-hdf5.git && git
update-mirror
0-59/5 * * * * cd /root/pdl_repo_mirrors/pdl-fftw.git && git update-mirror

In recent times the SF git servers have become incredibly more flaky, to
the point that on saturday the mirroring between SF and GH sent me a
whopping 229 error messages about being unable to reach sf. Over the past
two weeks the low tide was 20 messages per day.

The error messages i get are variations on this theme:

fatal: unable to connect to git.code.sf.net: git.code.sf.net[0:
216.105.38.16]: errno=Connection timed out

fatal: read error: Connection reset by peer

fatal: remote error: access denied or repository not exported:
/p/pdl/pdl-linearalgebra

fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the
correct access rights and the repository exists.

etc.

At this point i can make no guarantee that i'll be capable of recognizing
when an actual error happens, particularly since the unreliability of sf
servers results in me getting many varying types of error messages.

Also, it's a gigantic pain in the neck to skim and delete those messages
every day.

In lieu of an actual migration to github, if anyone here would like to
offer an email address i can configure as a target for these things
instead, please do let me know.

Cheers,
