svn server broken

A 'svn up' at svn.zope.org returns an error atm:

svn: Can't find a temporary directory: Error string not specified yet

Thanks for looking into this issue.

I have poked around a little bit and it appears there's a hard drive
issue on the box. I have alerted the Zope Corp SAs and Jim, there's
nothing I can do from here.

Ah. That's why the KGS updates are lagging.

Thanks Jens. We're investigating.

Re: svn server broken [In reply to]

Hi there,

Before noticing svn.zope.org was down, I noticed that buildouts seem
to be failing/hanging somewhere in httplib. I now suspect this is
possibly because various setup.py's have a 'url' entry that references
svn.zope.org and setuptools might go off and try to read it, resulting
in a hang of the buildout process.

If it's possible to make http://svn.zope.org do a clear "sorry, i'm
not here" instead of the current behavior where the browser is
spinning when you try to access it, that might help. If this is too
distracting currently, please ignore this message - I'm not even sure
whether this fixes my issues.

Regards,

Martijn

Re: svn server broken [In reply to]

Sorry, svn.zope.org experienced a hardware failure earlier in the day
which we believed we had remediated, but which has re-surfaced as
something more serious. We're working on getting it resolved and
should have it back up soon, hopefully before noon EST.

I'm with Martijn here. I'm happy you take care of the machine, but noon
EST is a full working day in Europe without svn.zope.org. That's a lot
of buildout processes hanging. So, please, pretty please, can you make
the machine fail gracefully for the outside world and not have dangling
connections?

Thanks!

Christian

Unfortunately we can't. The file system on that machine isn't
currently allowing writes. :(

Re: svn server broken [In reply to]

If you blocked it at the load balancer or router, that would help in their
regard until the issue is fixed....

Argh! You might be able to kill the processes that own the listen
socket ...

You can often work around problems like this by adding fake host entries
to /etc/hosts on systems you control, e.g.:

127.0.0.1 svn.zope.org

Windows has (had?) a similar facility.
