Mandriva packages Enlistment failed

I added the following enlistment to the Mandriva Linux Project;

http://svn.mandriva.com/svn/packages/cooker

However it appears to have failed on downloading.

Hi Nick,

The Mandriva packages enlistment is famous around here for being incredibly large and slow to download.

In the past we've deliberately removed this repository from the Ohloh report because it prevents the rest of the report from completing.

There's some discussion on this thread.

Would it be possible to try again?
Or is it simply too large, with binary files, to allow importing?

Hi Nick,

Unless there has been some reason to believe that the situtation is changed, I don't think there is much point in trying again.

We have made repeated attempts in the past, but this download completely consumes one of our servers when it is running, and is so slow that it would take literally years to complete. I believe that yes, this is mostly because of the large binary content.

When we have the luxury of more development or hardware resources to solve the problem, we can take another look, but for now we simply don't have the resources for this.

Thanks
Robin
