That's why I mentioned this.
Do you think that a hook script in BerliOS updating the SF SVN repository would do any bad?
Nothing to worry now, but if there are more downtimes it should be something to consider. The development will continue on BerliOS, and SF can act as a secondary mirror / backup solution. Better to be safe than sorry, right?

We're not talking about FTP downloads (at least half of these problems were user-generated, btw.), but about complete failure of SSH authentication and CVS commits, lost commits, mixed revisions. We are talking about trying to checkout or commit for two hours without any success. We are talking about the repository being locked for no apparent reason one day. We are talking about losing one week's work because SF just deletes random files, from random recent revisions...
Ask Yiannis about it, he can tell you a tale of writing the same code five times...

This used to be the daily SNAFU at Sourceforge when we decided to leave. BerliOS has never ever shown a single problem of this kind. It has never had any serious condition which prevented us from working or caused a loss of our work.

Yes, indeed.

And from Berlios when the devs say "fixed" I can immediately update to the latetest revision, while in SF the anonymous cvs requests would get the latest commits after a few hours.

This seems to be a real nightmare. I must admit that I am rather surprised :o and shocked :shock:. Anyway, it is good to know that such problems can occur with SF.

Unfortunately, it seems that BerliOS does not "easily" accept even a good project.

Best wishes,
Michael

That is fixed now in SF (No sync delays between developer and anonymous Subversion access).

Too bad to hear all those problems with SF.

It's really more difficult to get a project accepted on BerliOS than SourceForge?
I'm about to set up one and I was about to do it in SF.
