Re: [Jmol-developers] SVN access problem

2015-07-29 Thread Robert Hanson
I support this idea in principle; I just started using Git on another
project (Jalview), and I certainly see the advantages. No system is immune
to failure, but it is true that the local repository aspect of Git does
mean there cannot be a catastrophic failure that impacts us for weeks the
way we just had with SF. (I think that is up; I just made a test commit.)

I have had problems with line endings, and I have had a lot of problems
with overriding changes when that is necessary. We would need to make sure
everyone moves to Eclipse 4.5. I'm reticent to do that just now myself,
because it's a path of no return, or at least one would have to re-check
out projects all over again (and I have quite a few of those at this
point).

We would have to do this very carefully.

 Just as a word of warning.


 Yes, apparently about 500 projects are in this situation.
 For those projects, sourceforge should have sent a mail to the the
 project administrator, titled SourceForge SVN repository data gap
 notification for project 
 I received one for a project, but not for Jmol.
 Hopefully, that means that Jmol SVN is completely restored.

 Q: Does anyone have similar problems or knows what's going on?

Yeah, SourceForge is still partly down. Apparently git and hg are back
again but not subversion, see
https://twitter.com/sfnet_ops/status/624329180029677568

This is rather disconcerting on a more general level, e.g. the CP2K
project is currently moving their subversion repository elsewhere.
