XEmacs and Gnus are stuck

XEmacs and Gnus are both stuck in phase 1 (Failed), and has been that for as long as I have had an account here.

The page tells me not to re-add them. Is there anything else I can do to get them included?

Hi Per,

We are receiving server errors on both of these projects.

The XEmacs CVS server simply does not support rlog. Ohloh relies on rlog to obtain the activity history, so we cannot download from this server.

Gnus appears to have some kind of data corruption. This checkout fails:

$ cvsnt -d :pserver:gnus:[email protected]:/usr/local/cvsroot checkout -D'1997/03/04 01:26:40Z' -A -d'gnus' 'gnus'
cvs server: Updating gnus
... several files are updated ....
U gnus/lisp/gnus-mh.el
cvs [server aborted]: unexpected EOF reading RCS file /usr/local/cvsroot/gnus/lisp/gnus-uu.el,v

Can these problems be fixed on the servers?

I have send a bug report to Gnus.

XEmacs switched to Mercurial recently for the development branch, so they are unlikely to make changes to their cvs setup. XEmacs will have to wait for Ohloh to gain Mercurial support.

I think it would be useful if it was possible to add a note under enlistment
describing such problems.
