FYI for all developers too; I've been using the EU mirror for a few
weeks now and it's *significantly* faster than trying to sync over
the pond. As I *think* most of the JSPWiki developers are in Europe
(frankly, I have no idea, but just guessing based on the email
addresses of the people who are most loud ;-)
Especially notice the comment about "svn up". Conflicts are a pain
to manage...

Subject: EU SVN Mirror - Open for business
Folks,
The hotly anticipated EU SVN mirror is now open to all committers.
svn.eu.apache.org has been running for a couple of months and we are
looking for people to start using the mirror on a full time &
permanent
basis.
We currently only mirror the main repo, that is /repos/asf/
All other repos remain available only through svn.apache.org, i.e
/repos/private/
If you intend to use the new mirror you can use the relocate function,
saving you having to check out all your local working copies from the
mirror. Do this by using the following:
svn switch --relocate $old $new
i.e. "svn switch --relocate
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/trunk
https://svn.eu.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/trunk";
Reminder: Don't forget to use HTTPS otherwise you won't be able to
commit any changes.
There are two other good reasons to change:
1 - The EU mirror (svn.eu.apache.org) is almost twice as fast as the
master (svn.apache.org) - This is noticeable immediately after
switching
over. More so for those located in the EU.
2 - We are now providing "experimental" support for git-svn over SSL.
This is only available through the EU mirror.
It is also worth pointing out how the commits made through the EU
mirror
are handled. After you commit your changes they are proxied back to
svn.apache.org - These commits are then synchronised back to
svn.eu.apache.org. In light of this, I would advise that you get into
the habit of running "svn up" before making any local changes,
where you
possibly can.
Cheers,
Your infra team
