Gitorious is down

Hi all,

Due to a migration on Gitorious.org, some git repositories may not be
accessible. We're setting up a clone on github on this link:

https://github.com/OrocosDevs

If you want push access to these repositories, you can ask us to
become member of the 'Contributors' group.

Peter

PS: Someone (us?) created the 'Orocos' organisation on github 2 years
ago, which seems orphaned now.

That was us and *please* don't do this. We have enough trouble already
doing shared development. Having two places were development takes place
won't make it better. Or we decide as a group to move to github, but
know that for sure Rock is not going to switch ... simply because I have
trouble already convincing people here that having both internal and
external repos is fine (they would prefer "everything internal" synced
to the external repos).

I understand, I'm not moving to github. I was setting up a backup
which we needed right now. I have renamed the project to
'orocos-toolchain' such that the URL scheme is compatible with
gitorious:

https://github.com/orocos-toolchain

Regarding your concerns: I'll setup a job to synchronise from
gitorious to github, and won't hand out push rights to anyone for
github (other than the owners) right now.

Fair enough ... I have to admit that I did not think about just removing
all push rights to get a pure readonly flow.

I would be interested to get the script (if possible) to do the same for
rock.

As a user, I would absolutely support a migration to github.
gitorious.org is slow, unstable, and counter-intuitive in comparison;
it is not clear to me why it even exists.

Cheers,
Andrew

@Andrew

I think one of the primary reasons is cost, along with the open source nature of Gitorious. However, I agree that Gitorious.org is slow and flakey. Another option is BitBucket. It's price is much more appealing than GitHub (more often than not it's free), and it's pretty fully featured.

We could also setup this mirror as an automatic fallback in autoproj ...

I would not do that. That is asking for trouble if autoproj is falling
back to a different source in the middle of a bootstrap/update. You are
never sure if there might be inconsistencies between both sources (the
update script will run only once a day - I guess).
