Creative Commons has hosted our source repository at Sourceforge.net
for several years. Recently there's been an increase in the number of
outages and problems with the repository. At a tech team meeting this
morning we discussed the possibility of moving the source repository
from sourceforge to a CC server. Note that we're only dealing with
the source repository at this point; bug tracking, etc will remain at
Sourceforge.
The proposed plan is:
* configure Subversion and ViewVC on a CC server, along with the
post-commit hook for sending notifications to the checkins list
* remove write access to the Sourceforge repository for all users
* replicate the repository from Sourceforge
Actual down time should be quite limited, however people working from
checkouts will need to do an 'svn switch --relocate' to use the new
server. This is a request for objections or concerns about such a
plan. If we don't hear any by Friday, March 21, we'll plan to make
the move early next week.
Thanks,
Nathan
