For those who aren't aware, or for those whose mind it has slipped:
I run on one of my servers a bunch of very simplicistic cron scripts that
mirror the SourceForge git repositories to github.
Particularly:
pdl.git
pdl-book.git
pdl-fftw.git
pdl-graphics-plplot.git
pdl-io-hdf5.git
pdl-linearalgebra.git
The command used for each is a simple:
[alias]
update-mirror = !git fetch -q origin && git push -q github
My cron looks like this:
[email protected]
0-59/5 * * * * cd /root/pdl_repo_mirrors/pdl.git && git update-mirror
1-59/5 * * * * cd /root/pdl_repo_mirrors/pdl-linearalgebra.git && git
update-mirror
2-59/5 * * * * cd /root/pdl_repo_mirrors/pdl-book.git && git update-mirror
3-59/5 * * * * cd /root/pdl_repo_mirrors/pdl-graphics-plplot.git && git
update-mirror
4-59/5 * * * * cd /root/pdl_repo_mirrors/pdl-io-hdf5.git && git update-mirror
0-59/5 * * * * cd /root/pdl_repo_mirrors/pdl-fftw.git && git update-mirror
In recent times the SF git servers have become incredibly more flaky, to the
point that on saturday the mirroring between SF and GH sent me a whopping 229
error messages about being unable to reach sf. Over the past two weeks the low
tide was 20 messages per day.
The error messages i get are variations on this theme:
fatal: unable to connect to git.code.sf.net: git.code.sf.net[0: 216.105.38.16]:
errno=Connection timed out
fatal: read error: Connection reset by peer
fatal: remote error: access denied or repository not exported:
/p/pdl/pdl-linearalgebra
fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the
correct access rights and the repository exists.
etc.
At this point i can make no guarantee that i'll be capable of recognizing when
an actual error happens, particularly since the unreliability of sf servers
results in me getting many varying types of error messages.
Also, it's a gigantic pain in the neck to skim and delete those messages every
day.
In lieu of an actual migration to github, if anyone here would like to offer an
email address i can configure as a target for these things instead, please do
let me know.
