[fetchmail-devel] FYI: recovered SVN repository

[Matthias A. <ma...@dt...>]

Hi,

the SVN repository required recovery, visible in that svn ls printed
"DB_RUNRECOVERY" embedded in a longish error message.

The remedy was:

ssh svn.berlios.de
svnadmin recover /svnroot/repos/fetchmail

NOTE! This is a dangerous operation in that it may only be conducted on
a quiet repository, as data base recovery does not serialize (lock)
against concurrent execution of svnadmin recover, which may fail and
potentially cause corruption.

I've also taken the opportunity to compress unused log files:

svnadmin list-unused-dblogs /svnroot/repos/fetchmail | xargs gzip -9f
