svn.haxx.se is going away

[Mark Phippard]

Just a general fyi ... I went to https://svn.haxx.se/ today to search the
lists and noticed there is a banner on the site saying it is going offline
forever soon.

I am not sure what the ramifications will be as I know there are a lot of
historical links in the docs and site but I guess it is what it is.

I do not believe there is anything you need to delete as each commit starts
a new transaction so one commit should not interfere with another, even if
a previous one fails. In searching the list archives I found no definitive
single solution to this problem but it seems to be an issue when the server
has a problem obtaining a file lock on the server filesystem. If your
server is running Windows, perhaps an anti-virus type software is running
on the server and gets in the way of the server process. On any server OS
if your repository is hosted on a network file system perhaps there was a
problem obtaining a file lock across the network?

Wish I had better suggestions but think the problem is with your server and
the file system that the repositories are stored on. This particular error
message has only been posted a couple times in the past. My guess is that
the code tries to get a lock and fails and then maybe the error message is
written the way it is because whoever wrote the code assumed it failed to
get a lock because it was already locked. If the problem is anti-virus that
could be true as the A/V software may have started scanning the files and
is preventing the SVN server from locking them. We certainly see that type
problem happen in working copies on Windows fairly regularly.

Daniel Stenberg is in the process of moving the Curl Web site from 
https://curl.haxx.se/ to https://www.curl.se/.  I'm not sure why 
https://svn.haxx.se/ is not following along (there is no 
https://svn.curl.se as of a few minutes ago), but then again I'm just a 
Curl user, not a dev.  Curl development is hosted on Github, so maybe he 
lost interest in a Subversion archive?

Daniel (danielsh) has been trying to get Infra to import the material
from pre-2009 (pre-migration to ASF) into lists.apache.org to avoid
losing the archives from the earliest period of development, which
arguably contain some of the most important development information.

See the discussion here:
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r97c9c5208af706b067fd8e67a7cbe79b37255958bb087bf699b722f8%40%3Cdev.subversion.apache.org%3E

Possibly it's still mirrored at home.apache.org but I can't check at the moment.

Thanks Nathan. I am glad to hear we were aware of this. I had not seen any
discussion so just wanted to make sure interested parties maybe had some
time to act before it is too late. I notice we have a search function as
part of out website that uses their search. Hopefully that can be adapted
to the Apache list archives though not sure if it will work as well. I have
always used svn.haxx.se just for the search.
