Re: XEmacs 21.4.5 'Civil Service' is released.

[Hey, Adrian! Anonymous access to xemacsweb is totally broken, xemacsweb doesn't even show when I list the modules.] vin> I'm pretty tired, so I'm probably doing some 'obviously wrong thing?' vin> What would that be? Nothing. My instructions weren't clear. (1) The older package modules (xemacs-packages and mule-packages) were deactivated by Steve Youngs a few weeks ago IIRC. Use module "packages". (2) Module "xemacsweb" is hosted on sunsite.dk, not in the main repository. Handy-dandy reference card, cut and paste it into an xpostit: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ XEmacs sources are hosted at tanko.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp (temporarily). anoncvs: not possible due to U. of Tsukuba firewall ext/ssh: use CVSROOT=":ext:tanko.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp:/usr/CVSroot" core source module is "xemacs" package source module is "packages" release tools module is "xemacs-builds" status: currently working (2001/10/30 15:45 JST) xemacsweb is hosted at sunsite.dk. anoncvs: use CVSROOT=":pserver:cvs＠sunsite.dk:/pack/anoncvs" password is "cvs" web module is "xemacsweb" status: currently broken (2001/10/30 15:45 JST) ext/ssh: currently Adrian and me only I think, talk to Adrian status: working for Adrian at least (2001/10/30 15:45 JST) FTP and HTTP services at Tux, SunSITE.dk, and SourceForge are unchanged. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ We hope XEmacs sources will be hosted and available for anoncvs checkout within a few days. Conservatively, early next week I think we can promise, although there may be occasional service outages as we tune the configuraiton. The primary mirror will be sunsite.dk, which has proved to have excellent bandwidth worldwide although it is subject to "Red Hat effect" as Tux is. We plan to move to sunsite for the active repository itself, but we need to work out access issues. I am exploring secondary mirrors for the repository; I have a couple of private offers but they want to wait until we've settled down on a permanent setup. I'm also trying to get a big well-known host as a secondary repository. Sorry for the confusion, but we _are_ confused. We've had multiple simultaneous critical service failures in the past couple of weeks. We are getting it straightened out, but ... you know how it goes. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Don't ask how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
