Ohloh failing to update from KForge repository

A repository for the KForge project (https://www.ohloh.net/p/5721) was moved
http://kforge.appropriatesoftware.net/kforge/svn/trunk but for some reason Ohloh keeps failing to update from it. Any ideas what's happening?

John,

I'm getting continual failures when ohloh goes to retrieve the repository. We hit the repo pretty intensely in an initial fetch and I'm seeing numerous different errors which only suggest that the repository is somewhat sensitive to repetitive requests. Is it possible that this logon we are using is limited in the number of accesses it can make in a particular period? I am getting (%Connection reset by peer%), (%500% Internal Server Error%) and (%could not connect to server%) at (446/1688 total commits) errors so far...

The only comfort is that once the initial fetch is finished, there is a lot less load placed on the server by the incremental updates we do after this. I'll keep after it and see if I can get it to finish a fetch.

Thanks!

Thanks for taking a look, very sorry about the trouble. I've just made a change to the configuration of KForge which means the login shouldn't be necessary on the Subversion repository, and also bumped up the max requests in the Apache configuration. I didn't try accessing the repository but it always seemed to work for me. Please could you let me what the actial calls are that Ohloh makes, so that I can write tests to make sure this usage is supported going forward. All good wishes, John

John,

I'll be glad to. Will send an e-mail with the details. It's just a snapshot of what we do but I suspect it will give you the outlines...

Thanks!

John,

Persistence pays in this case. Rescheduled the initial fetch over-and-over which finished OK (1688 total commits). Analysis is now at December 10, 2012 on code collected on December 09, 2012 and last commit is at December 10, 2012 - about 19 hours ago.

Please keep an eye on it for me and remind me here if the updates fail again.

Thanks!

Good to see. :-) Will keep an eye out, and thanks for sending over the svn commands you use to pull the code. I'll write some tests based on them. All good wishes, John
