KingTaco and I are pleased to announce that we've completed |
4 |
setting up and testing the anonymous read-only CVS and SVN |
5 |
services for Gentoo repositories, and that they are now |
6 |
available for use. |
7 |
|
8 |
The anonymous services are primarily intended help our |
9 |
non-dev contributors easily produce patches and |
10 |
modifications (cvs diff/svn diff), and provide easier access |
11 |
to the source for gentoo-hosted projects. |
12 |
|
13 |
For our more enthusiastic of users out there, please note |
14 |
that the CVS and SVN services are NOT not more to date than |
15 |
the rsync tree, and may be an additional 30 minutes behind, |
16 |
based on load on various machines. Please do not switch to |
17 |
using the CVS simple because you think it will get you the |
18 |
tree faster, or make you cooler; compared to our rsync |
19 |
distribution method, the anonymous services have |
20 |
considerably less resources (both processing and bandwidth) |
21 |
behind them. We will not hesitate to block IP addresses that |
22 |
abuse this service. |
23 |
|
24 |
cvs: |
25 |
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@××××××××××××××.org/var/cvsroot co <REPO> |
26 |
|
27 |
CVS is limited to 5 concurrent users. |
28 |
|
29 |
cvs has the following repos: |
30 |
gentoo-projects gentoo |
31 |
gentoo-x86 gentoo-src |
32 |
|
33 |
svn: |
34 |
svn co http://anonsvn.gentoo.org/repositories/<REPO>/ |
35 |
|
36 |
svn has the following repos: |
37 |
gli glsr devmanual sandbox baselayout |
38 |
eselect apache livecd-tools hardened linux-patches |
39 |
catalyst hwdata gentoo-python genkernel gentoo-syntax |
40 |
gentoo-alt gentoo-vdr gentoolkit keychain portage |
41 |
|
42 |
The frontpage of the service http://anoncvs.gentoo.org/ |
43 |
maintains an accurate list of the repositories available, as |
44 |
well as holding complete instructions and caveats. |
45 |
|
46 |
Please file infra bugs for any problems that might come up. |
47 |
|
48 |
The gzip blocking previously discussed has been removed, due |
49 |
to bandwidth constraints on the part of the server. The |
50 |
concurrent user limit has been lowered correspondingly. |
51 |
|
52 |
Thanks go to: kengland, robbat2, kingtaco, ramereth, and |
53 |
several others for helping this to happen. |
