And even that email went out today, instead of yesterday :)

 Gregory has the latest backup, but due to some emergencies has not been in position to deliver it to me.

due to your bad internet connectivity you must have missed Greg’s mail. He send a link to the file on a Google Drive. That file is 250 MB big and should contain the current GNA content.

I’ve managed to fetch this file directly onto a GCE instance, and thus the temporary readonly copy of Subversion is available at:

  svn://vcs.gs.badc0de.net/gnustep

Clearly this is not browsable in the browser, but if someone urgently needs branches or tags of various libraries, this can serve. No guarantees on uptime though, this is a hacked together hosting.

Similarly, no-guarantees for uptime on the URL to download the latest rsync’ed backup which I got from Gregory:

  http://vcs.gs.badc0de.net/rsync_svn.gna.org_svn_gnustep.tar.bz2 

As previously mentioned, I’m looking forward to tackling the conversion (including creation of git replace refs or similar mechanism to preserve connection with the old mirror’s commit hashes) after I return from the trip, by mid-to-late next week.
