TAGS: raid svn2github
UPDATE2: The service is now resumed.
UPDATE: The server is now replicated with no data loss. RAID is still recovering though (copying data from one disk to another), so to not overwhelm the whole system I'll re-enable svn2github syncing only after that is done.
After migrating svn2github.com (and several other services) to a new server everything was going smoothly for a month or two, until recently I received an alert regarding RAID degradation.
One of the disk in the RAID failed (reading /dev/sda just fails) and in order to prevent the other disk from failing I disabled any write operation (read: updates) for the svn2github-controlled repos.
A new server is on the way, but unfortunately, due to the weekend, it will be back only on Monday. Once the data is migrated I'll re-start updating the repos again.
Expect an update on this on Tuesday :-)
How about cvs2github, hg2github, bazaar2github and fossil2github?
What about those?

Hello.
I agree. Those are often a PITA to use, CVS is a real pain.
Some projects using those or even Git lack anonymous access, only providing a web interface if you not log in. Even getting an account could be in some cases a cumbersome or the developer denies it "in order to avoid forks".
Some primitive and limited solutions:
(I cant put link,, so here's keywords)
cvsgrab
SFCVS
This is one of the known PITA examples. I have more to provide, but would prefer to do it privately. They are FOSS, but I don't want to deal with the obsessive developer temper.
to to cgit subdomain of freedesktop site, then the directory route "/~agd5f/linux/log/" and now add "?h=drm-next-4.6-wip-dal"
Kind regards.
Hello.
Any news?
There are some projects still using cvs and it's quite cumbersome. Some of them even still use tarballs, I wonder if it's possible to export them to Git easily.
Kind regards.
Hi guys, CVS support never was and is not planned.

I see. It would nice to have it, but I understand about your priorities. What about svn web interfaces?
@Gabrys It also handles more repository-types:
