It’s Going Around…

May 15th, 2006

Alas, it’s been a bad month for opensource communities.  SourceForge has had its share of problems lately, as did the ASF.  And now, even the Codehaus is not immune.  Our CVS/Subversion server is offline with an angry disk.  We’re trying to recover it, but preparing to restore from backups if need be.  We have no ETA at the moment, but real-time updates will be available on irc.codehaus.org in the #codehaus channel.

We apologize to users who are left out in the cold, particularly those using maven with missing repos.  I also hope no demos at JavaOne assumed we’d be online.  Eh, what can you do?   Plans for migrating the functionality of this machine to a shiny new box at Contegix are under way.

    Since SourceForge, Apache and Codehaus have all gone down w/in a week of each other, I can’t help but think this was some sort of attack? What do you think?

    I think all 3 communities have simply suffered from hardware death. It happens, particularly under the loads a lot of manic developers can create. Our failure is definitely not the result of any malicious act.

    Frantic coding of pre-JavaOne schemes and dreams overloaded the system.

    [...] The Haus hosts a bunch of recognizable projects. Some of the ones I’ve found personally useful are Jaxen, XFire, Woodstox, Stomp (:ttmp), and Jetty6. There were issues with the Haus’s hardware back in May, and Bob, Ben, and others put in a Herculean effort to get things back to a reasonable state of sanity. (New hosting and bandwidth provided by Contegix are a step in the right direction.) [...]
