The system is now completely functional.

It's time to decide what to do with your data.

(see first explanations at http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/savannah-users/2009-05/msg00023.html)



Please discuss and send questions at savannah-users@gnu.org !



For import requests: see below, you need to send a support request via

the web interface.



Basically your choices are:

a) you can use the backup from April 29

b) you can use our latest (incomplete) backup from May 29

c) you can import another backup you have

d) you can wait a few days until we possibly recover latest data from the crashes disk (nothing is sure though). More details about this later.

e) you can use the backup from May 27 which we found a bit later



Here's how do it for the various VCSs:



CVS:

a) The version from 29 April in the 'backup-20090429' subdirectory.

b) The version from 29 May in the 'backup-20090529-incomplete' subdirectory.

c) Upload your backup in your download area (SFTP) for us to import

e) The version from 27 May in the 'backup-20090527' subdirectory.



Access commands:

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sv.gnu.org:/sources/backup-20090429/your_project co your_module

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sv.gnu.org:/sources/backup-20090529-incomplete/your_project co your_module

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sv.gnu.org:/sources/backup-20090527/your_project co your_module

rsync rsync://cvs.sv.gnu.org/sources/backup-20090429/your_project/

rsync rsync://cvs.sv.gnu.org/sources/backup-20090529-incomplete/your_project/

rsync rsync://cvs.sv.gnu.org/sources/backup-20090527/your_project/



IN ALL CASES: post a support request, authenticated (i.e. login first) at https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?func=additem&group=administration with category "RECOVERY: CVS/SVN". Requests send by mail or in the wrong category won't be processed.



In your requests, remember to specify:

- name of the project

- VCS type (CVS / SVN / both)

- date of the backup to recover (April / May)



If after 2 weeks we didn't receive an answer for your project, we'll reinstall the latest backup we have (May 27).



SVN:

a) The version from 29 April in the 'backup-20090429' subdirectory.

b) The version from 29 May in the 'backup-20090529-incomplete' subdirectory.

c) Upload your backup in your download area (SFTP)

e) The version from 27 May in the 'backup-20090527' subdirectory.



Access commands:

svn co svn://svn.sv.gnu.org/backup-20090429/your_project

svn co svn://svn.sv.gnu.org/backup-20090529-incomplete/your_project

svn co svn://svn.sv.gnu.org/backup-20090527/your_project

rsync rsync://svn.sv.gnu.org/svn/backup-20090429/your_project/

rsync rsync://svn.sv.gnu.org/svn/backup-20090529-incomplete/your_project/

rsync rsync://svn.sv.gnu.org/svn/backup-20090527/your_project/

(if you get an error from this last one, it's probably corrupted)

Git:

a) We installed the version from 29 April.

b) You can attempt to recover from the partial 29 May backup: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/r/backup-20090529-incomplete/

c) You can push a local version if you have one (git push ..., once per public branch and tag)

e) If you didn't push yet, you can check the May 27 backup at: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/r/backup-20090527/



You can import the repository directly, without our help.



Mercurial:

a) We installed the version from 29 April.

b) We don't have a more recent backup

c) You can push a local version if you have one.

e) If you didn't push yet, you can check the May 27 backup in the 'backup-20090527' subdirectory



You can import the repository directly, without our help.



WebCVS:

We plan to either recover the data from disk, or failing that, manually commit the latest version at http://www.gnu.org and http://www.nongnu.org.
