It seems to me the current largest show-stopper for gnuplot is its offical web page, www.gnuplot.info. It is not mirroring gnuplot.sf.net for several months. Old messages on this mailing list indicate that Clark Gaylord is the only one having access to the site... and whois supports this. Could you please restart mirroring? Or, could you give access to this machine to other gnuplot developers to launch rsync'ing manually? Without the web page, releasing 4.2 cannot happen. Further, in January 2006, there was thread in this mailing list: Subject: Re: ftp://ftp.gnuplot.info/pub/gnuplot/testing where I listed files to be deleted on that ftp server. Again, nobody has access to that machine? What to do? --- PM |

(1) Change all the docs to refer only to the SourceForge site itself, thus removing mention of www.gnuplot.info (2) Change the registry of www.gnuplot.info to point to some machine other than e028121.vtacs.vt.edu DNS service can be changed easily enough. Since that vt.edu machine is responding to both http and ftp, pointing directly to a single SourceForge address won't work equivalently. But we could either split it into ftp.gnuplot.info and www.gnuplot.info, or find a machine elsewhere that can be used for both. > Old messages on this mailing list indicate that Clark Gaylord is the > only one having access to the site... and whois supports this.

Unfortunately, sf has broken their shell access (and hence rsync), so I can't get the sync running exactly the way it was before. Hopefully they will have that fixed soon. I can do some wget sync, but they frown on that. More important, though is having a more high-availability and higher bandwidth site. I've made preparations for this to be hosted at the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute at Virginia Tech, so this should be coming up in the next couple days. This will also give very good access to Internet2 and National Lambda Rail (and hence much better access to most of our European and Asian users). > Further, in January 2006, there was thread in this mailing list: > Subject: Re: ftp://ftp.gnuplot.info/pub/gnuplot/testing where I listed > files to be deleted on that ftp server. Again, nobody has access to > that machine? What to do? Done. Sorry, I do not monitor this list very closely at all. The ftp site currently isn't moving to VBI, so that will remain on my home machine for the time being. --ckg |

Maybe the fact that rsync does not work is the same as it is currently not possible to ssh gnuplot.sf.net? --- PM |

Ok, forget parts of my previous message! I've recognized that the links contained in www.gnuplot.info are pointing to gnuplot.sf.net. funnily the pages in gnuplot.info are not the same as in www.gnuplot.info! Also there seems to be one picture missing: http://www.gnuplot.info/grid.jpeg is not being found. Hardy |

Unfortunately they are not in sync! Check http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/development/binaries/ and http://gnuplot.info/development/binaries/ Because I'm a little pedantic (;-)) I'm telling you that this is the case since mid of september 2006. There is an entry in the mail list dated 24.09.2006 which states this. Hardy |

Probably. The site status page indicates that the shell server machine died and has not yet been replaced. By the way. I made a quick pass over the FAQ and committed the revision to CVS. But I don't actually know the procedure for propagating the revised *.tex document to other media. Once the shell server is back up, it will be possible to upload a new html file. But what about pure text and pdf versions - is there a list of places they need to go? -- Ethan A Merritt Courier Deliveries: 1959 NE Pacific Dept of Biochemistry M/S 357742 Health Sciences Building University of Washington - Seattle |

Into gnuplot cvs: FAQ (the text) Into web page: see gnuplot.sf.net/faq/ Into ftp.gnuplot.info: there is a faq/ directory, I propose to remove it, or write "go to web" Into binary distributions: e.g. in Win there is docs/FAQ.{html,txt} --- PM |

On the "is shell down why rsync down" question: yes, same service. On Wed, 21 Feb 2007 00:24:04 +0100 (CET), "Petr Mikulik" <mi...@ph...> said: > > By the way.

When the web page was at the end of a DSL line, this made sense, but now that we are back in business we should expunge those absolute URLs I think. > Into ftp.gnuplot.info: there is a faq/ directory, I propose to remove > it, or write "go to web" This raises the question: do we really still need ftp access? I like the legacy files (notably the gnuplot-historical), but we could also move those to the web repository. I haven't checked about disk space, so maybe we shouldn't do that, but I wonder whether we really still need ftp access as a protocol. --ckg -- Clark Gaylord Blacksburg, VA USA ga...@di... |

I've copied the contents of ftp.gnuplot.info into http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/ftp_testing/ftp_gnuplot_info/ and made some structural changes. Please continue. There are also other dirs on ftp.gnuplot.info: - gnuplot-historical: could be moved inside the above - gnuplot-misc could be removed - gnuplot-recent ??? - winsock can be removed I think ftp.gnuplot.info should be kept, as it is mirrored by CTAN and maybe some other repositories. --- PM |
