GNUstep source-fetching
On 12-th of november I've updated GNUStep project to use the new repository. It still didn't manage to make initial checkout :-/
Project: http://www.ohloh.net/projects/4843
Repository: http://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep
Hi indeyets,
Looks like we had a server timeout. I've rescheduled the job, and I'll keep an eye on it today. Let me know if you see any trouble,
Robin
Looks like it tries… but it is slow
Step 1 of 3: Downloading source code history (Running 1239/18581)
Yes, it looks like it might take a few weeks to complete.
It is marked as failed
now. I wonder, if initial download process could be made incremental (so it wouldn't need to restart from scratch…)
Hi indeyets,
This failure was not specific to GNUstep. We physically moved all of our servers to a new datacenter this weekend, which interrupted all downloads. The servers are mostly back online now, and I've rescheduled the GNUstep download.
The download process is definitely incremental. Given that some downloads take weeks to complete, we'd never have gotten very far without that.
Thanks for your patience,
Robin
Hi indeyets,
I spent a little time investigating our eternally slow download of GNUstep today. The problem appears to be that the URL provided to Ohloh includes not just the trunk but also all of the branches and tags of all the subprojects of GNUStep.
I've been trying to check the code out locally on my development machine, but after an hour it shows no sign of finishing.
If it takes this long to check out a single revision, it might take literally months of server time for us to do the full download. Also, because all branches and tags have been included, when it finally finishes the source code line count will be off by many orders of magnitude.
The best solution seems to be to remove the single enlistment to http://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep, and instead enter URLs to the individual trunks of the all of the subprojects. I'm not sure yet how many of these trunk directories there are (if my checkout ever finishes I'll run a script on the source tree to find them all). It's the only way for our engine to know which directories need to be counted, and which are simply tags.
We are transitioning to using svnsync as our downloading method (we currently use it for SourceForge and Google code), and this would greatly reduce the amount of time to do the download. However, even if we use svnsync for this repository, someone would still need to go through and identify which directories to count. So in the end, we still need to break up the single master enlistment into separate ones for all the trunk directories.
I'll make a start of this tonight. Let me know if you have any concerns or questions,
Robin
looks good, thanks
all repos were successfully imported except this one: http://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/libs/base/trunk
looks like it is holding stats-generation
Heh, OK, we are almost there. I've rescheduled this last job, and will keep an eye on it today.
Thanks for your patience!
