Hi all, I would encourage Peter to focus on continuing his excellent work rather than spending valuable community time putting the stuff up on closed bloated server.
I believe that most will agree that the benefit of having anonymous access which is not monitored by a single company and lots of mirroring options is the right way to go. we are all doing open source, but currently not in a truly open source friendly environment. Btw, for those of you who like a USB JTAG interface with a built in UART, AAC Microtec has produced an affordable device that can be seen here, http://wiki.aacmicrotec.com/index.php/Introduction_to_GDB_and_OpenOCD#.C3.85AC_JTAG_and_serial_interface_description it is compatible with both Julius OpenOCD port and the old or_proxy.

These are the some of the subdirectories: bd-elf bd-elf-gdb binutils-2.18.50 binutils-2.20.1 gcc-4.2.2 gcc-4.5.1 gdb-6.8 gdb-7.1 gdb-7.2 newlib-1.17.0 newlib-1.18.0 I don't see why the average developer should download both the old and the new versions of GDB, Newlib and GCC every time. Some key components, like the or1ksim, must be downloaded separately anyway. I would remind any new developer that the OpenCores Subversion repositories are behind a registration wall that wants some personal information from you, probably for marketing purposes. There is no anonymous access, so they have full control about who is allowed to look at the code inside. If anything happens to the foundation/company/whatever behind these servers, there are no public mirrors that I know of, so at least the check-in history would probably be lost. By the way, Github can emulate a Subversion server, so users do not even need to learn git, and Subversion repositories can add external references to Github repos as if they were normal Subversion repositories, see here: https://github.com/blog/966-improved-subversion-client-support Regards, R.
