Gentoo Linux gentoo-x86 failed 2 years ago

The main repo of Gentoo Linux (https://www.ohloh.net/p/gentoo) failed 2 years ago: :pserver:anonymous:@anoncvs.gentoo.org:/var/cvsroot gentoo-x86

According to http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/ the repo url is correct.

Please fix. Thank you

Florian,

The reason it failed is because this repository (at the time) had 723,000 commits and was not expected ever to finish within the lifetime of any of our servers.

I can't believe this repository hasn't been migrated to git or some more modern repository. CVS is our worst performer and we try to avoid it when possible if an alternate is available.

I'll consult with project managers and see what can be done.

Thanks!

There is a ongoing migration process to git. Here is the related Gentoo bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=333531

But I think it won't happen in the near future.

Please remind me here if the project goes astray again.

Thanks!
