RE: [GNUe-dev] Request for Backups

[Artūras]

Hello Jason



I can do the dumps.
However, i'm not sure of the time - i'm living in +2 from London time
(according to Windows time zone - GMT+2). If i'd do them on 12:00 am in
my local time, would that be good?

Subject: [GNUe-dev] Request for Backups

This is mainly addressed to our core developers...

As you know, we are self-hosting our own subversion tree. I do nightly 
rsyncs of the entire gnuenterprise.org machine ("ash"), and put those 
rsyncs in my regular tape backup rotation. So, we are getting good, 
verified backups  of ash regularly. 

However, given the critical nature of our subversion tree, I would feel
much 
better knowing that others have backups of our code tree as well. I ask
that 
a few people with decent bandwidth and approximately 350-400Mb of spare
hard 
disk space to consider keeping a mirror of our repository. 

To do so, please cron the following script (changing MIRRORDIR, of
course):  

  #!/bin/sh
  DEST=/path/to/your/mirror/dir
 
SRC=http://www.gnuenterprise.org/developers/svn-dumps/gnue-svn-current.g
z  
  cd $DEST
  wget -q $SRC && \
    mv gnue-svn-current.gz gnue-svn-`date +"%Y-%d-%m"`.gz && \
    find $DEST -name 'gnue-svn-*.gz' -mtime +6 -exec rm "{}" \;

The last line keeps up to 7 copies of our dump. You can adjust this to
your 
taste. 

Currently, each gnue-svn-current.gz dump is 45-50Mb in size. I do the
dumps
at 12:00am CST (-06:00) and they take about 20 minutes to complete. 

If you plan to grab copies regularly, please email me with your
approximate 
cron time so I can plan accordingly. 

FYI, these dumps are created using "svnadmin dump /var/svn/gnue". 

Also, at the same web address are dumps for gnue-sb and gnue-contrib. 

Thanks,
