Hi all,

I've currently problems to access the opencores svn repositories.
Things like
  svn co -username wfjm http://opencores.org/ocsvn//
or
  svn ci ....

don't work, they hang and abort after some timeout.
I'm using svn version 1.6.17.

Do others have similar problems ?

Hi,

Yes, it appears as there have been serious problems with the SVN server for a while now. If you want to access the code in the meantime, a clone of all repos were made last year and put up on github. You can find it at https://github.com/freecores Beware that some repos may not have been completely copied. I found at least one repo (i2c) that missed several revisions

Best Regards,
Olof Kindgren

Hi Olof,

I've of course my own developer svn repository, with much more fine grained commits than what is visible on OpenCores. So 'svn co' isn't my real problem, only the tip if the iceberg. What I wanted to do last Sunday was a 'svn ci' !

You write "there have been serious problems with the SVN server for a while now". I think this is a dead serious situation for OpenCores. If the repository can't be read, and not be changed, what is the point of the whole OpenCores website ?

You mention the clone on https://github.com/freecores. There is a front end site under http://freecores.github.io/, which states

"FreeCores is a fork of almost all cores that was once on OpenCores.org.
This is to provide the benefit of using git, but also because the old
OpenCores.org was all but abandoned by the owners."

This is an obituary on OpenCores. And without a working svn access OpenCores is indeed dead.


With best regards, Walter

We are working together with the ISP provider, since it looks like the problem is located outside of our network.

This problem has been coming and going during the last 2 weeks, but has increased lately.


And by the way, we are actively monitoring/maintaining/supporting OpenCores website/server everyday, so it is definitely NOT abandoned.

Anyone know of any svn forecast resume normal functionality? I am trying to update my projects there is a good time but I can not.

I've managed to update SVN successfully using https. I don't know if this will work for others as well, but https has worked for me.

Specifically, I started with ...

svn co --username (myusername) --password (mypassword) https://opencores.org/ocsvn/dblclockfft/dblclockfft/trunk

(That was supposed to be all one line ...)

After using that line to set up the repository, all of my commits have gone without a problem by simply typing, "svn ci".

I'd be curious to know if this solves/fixes the problem for others.

Dan

P.S. Thanks to Walter for bringing this to my attention.

Hi all,

after a week the OpenCores svn access problems still aren't resolved,
So I direct my attention to the copy at https://github.com/freecores.
It was taken between June and August last year, projects (at least
mine) are owned by 'freecores'.

Question:
- how to gain access to a project on https://github.com/freecores ?
- whom shall I contact to get access to 'my project' under freecores ?

Maybe Olof can help, or whoever did this copy.

With best regards, Walter

Sorry for the late reply. I have been busy with other things

Just wanted to clarify that I am not responsible for the freecores organization on github nor am I affiliated with opencores.org, but I was given administrative rights to the freecores repos. The only intention of these repositories was to have a backup of the code in case there was problems with the OpenCores SVN repos (they were created just after a hiccup last summer).

I also think that we can all see that opencores.org is by no means abandoned, as it is stated on freecores.github.io . I'll see if I can remove that text as it is only spreading FUD

Regards,
Olof

The SVN problem is now solved by our external ISP provider after allot of communication.
They initially claimed that nothing have changed on their side, but then magically it started to work again.
So we are now trying to get an explanation of what they did to fix it, we will see if we succeed.
