In spare moments recently I've been doing various behind-the-scenes work on the riscos.info infrastructure. In particular we now have a much more powerful backend server for Jenkins builds - we now (attempt to) build all the packages in the autobuilder in 20 hours. I'm working on getting the built packages accessible in a form that PackMan can use, but the current list of successful build products isn't large.
One question arising from my onward todo list. Does anyone object if I mirror the SVN repos stored on riscos.info to a riscos-dot-info organisation on Github? The main motivation is to ensure resilience in the case of failure, either of hardware, backups or me. I don't intend to move away from using riscos.info SVN as the primary interface to the source trees - commits should still use that, and nothing will change in terms of workflows or accessing it from RISC OS. It's likely to also raise the profile of the projects - we don't allow crawling of webSVN by search engines because they make a mess of it and thrash the server, while Google et al index github reasonably well. In addition, git's distributed nature means that everyone who clones a git project has the full history, further building resilience. I'll make sure it's clear SVN is the primary and they have links to the relevant pages on riscos.info, so there's no confusion. Let me know if there's any issues. If you have an SVN repo on riscos.info and don't want it to be mirrored, please indicate this.
