[Savannah-announce] Recover your repositories

[Dave Hall]

Hi Sylvain (and the other hackers),

I have had a quick look at the phpGroupWare commit log. Restoring our
svn repo to the state it was in on 29 Apr is fine.

Good luck with the recovery it sounds like you have a lot of work ahead
of you.

Cheers

Dave

PS phpGW devs read below if this message doesn't make much sense to you.

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)
For import requests: see below, you need to send a support request via
the web interface.
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.
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
rsync rsync://cvs.sv.gnu.org/sources/backup-20090429/your_project/
rsync rsync://cvs.sv.gnu.org/sources/backup-20090529-incomplete/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.
If after 2 weeks we didn't receive an answer for your project, we'll reinstall the latest backup we have.
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)
svn co svn://svn.sv.gnu.org/backup-20090429/your_project
svn co svn://svn.sv.gnu.org/backup-20090529-incomplete/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/
(if you get an error from this last one, it's probably corrupted)

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 --all; git push --tags)
You can import the repository directly, without our help.
a) We installed the version from 29 April.
b) We don't have a more recent backup

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