Status of XEmacs Services

This page, which is mirrored to all XEmacs sites, provides information about known problems with any of the services provided for developing (CVS or ftp down), downloading (ftp or www site problems), and using (ftp or www site problems) XEmacs.

If you can't reach this status page at http://www.xemacs.org/About/XEmacsServices.html, you may try http://www.us.xemacs.org/About/XEmacsServices.html which is also automatically updated from the CVS repository, just like www.xemacs.org.

Checking out one of the many web mirrors is also an option, but be aware that these are only updated daily, according to these instructions.

Please check the top of the following table for problems already known.

After that, please report any unlisted problems you may be experiencing.

XEmacs CVS modules (except for xemacsweb) are currently unavailable.

SunSITE.dk is now hosting the XEmacs CVS Repository and provides many new features on top of that. See ../Develop/cvsaccess.html

CVS access to module xemacsweb and shell access to SunSITE.dk via ssh are unavailable due to a change of the IP address of SunSITE.dk and tightened security at SunSITE.dk.

Access to ssh and cvs has been restored by SunSITE.dk staff.

CVS commits to xemacsweb module hang and leave behind CVS locks when interrupted. These locks go away after a while (few hours?).

Our master websites at SourceForge, SunSITE.dk, and Tux.Org are not being updated from the CVS repository.

It took me until 2001-07-21 to track down the problem. This is when I opened the support request with SourceForge -- Adrian.

The solution had to be as radical as the problem. The XEmacs website CVS repository is now hosted by SunSITE.dk. Our master websites now automatically update from there.

As a consequence, our website at SourceForge is not being updated from the CVS repository.

2001-06-09: Automatic website updates on http://www.us.xemacs.org started working again on 2001-06-07. Login to shell1 still fails over to usw-pr-shell2, though.

Following is an excerpt of Current SourceForge Service Status Report per 2001-05-25T14:53+0200

(2001-05-24) PLEASE NOTE: SourceForge project shell services are offline pending completion of an unscheduled maintenance event. The SourceForge team is working to ensure that shell services are restored in as timely a manner as is possible. No ETA has yet been established for the completion of this maintenance window; it is our expectation that services will be restored no later than 2001-05-28. We regret any inconvenience that this outage may cause.

I'm sorry, the server has been down for about 8 hours for a
major software upgrading (and of course the procedure to keep the
cluster up during the upgrade did fail)

The service is restarted now. Please let me know if you notice any
problem.

Access to http://www.xemacs.org/ takes > 50 seconds or even fails to load.

Performance has returned to normal.

cvs -n -q update takes more than 10 minutes.

As of 2001-05-04 cvs update takes 1-2 minutes, occasionally still 9! The working directory on shell1.sourceforge.net updates within a few seconds!

This may also be because redhat 7.1, mandrake 8.0, suse 7.1 and progeny 1.0 all recently released new linux distributions and people are fetching them. XEmacs shares resources with these projects at tux.org.

530 Sorry, maximum number of allowed clients (200) already connected.

The load of the ftp server has decreased to acceptable levels.

This is because redhat 7.1, mandrake 8.0, suse 7.1 and progeny 1.0 all recently released new linux distributions and people are fetching them. XEmacs shares resources with these projects at tux.org.
