All,

I've heard back from SourceForge.  Some quotes from below:

Per the site status page:

(  2006-03-13 12:42:16 - Project CVS Service )   As of
2006-03-12 pserver (anonymous) CVS services, along with
tarballs and ViewCVS are down for projects that start with
the letters e, i, j, o, v, w and x. We hope to resolve this
issue in the next 2 days.

Please keep an eye there for further updates to this issue.

[snip]

However, the CVS issues we have been having are generally
hardware related. We are working on swapping out the
hardware and attempting to isolate the causes, but this
takes time to do, and given the infrastructure and volume of
use, we'd prefer to keep it up, even if only limping, than
take it down for a complete overhaul.

<<<<<<

It looks like our options are to sit and wait, or change the name of the
project to UnitJ.  No guarantees were made about subversion speed, so if
we decided to change to SVN, it would not necessarily be for long-term
reliability.  Thanks,

    David Saff

Initial Comment:
Dear SourceForge,

Over the last few months, public anonymous access to
JUnit CVS has become so slow and unreliable that it has
slowed the pace at which we are able to accept patches
and support early adopters.  Is there anything we or
you can do to solve this problem?  Are the subversion
servers faster?  Will the subversion servers stay fast
if many people switch over?

Below is a sampling of independent mailing list
messages indicating the kinds of problems seen.  Thanks,

   David Saff

2006/03/15: "I attempted to check out the current CVS
HEAD, but the system was unresponsive."

2006/03/14: "I will send Javadoc updates for the
classes as soon as cvs.sourceforge.net stops timing out
:-(. It usually works when America is asleep (in the
morning over here) ...."

2006/03/08: "is it just me or do you guys also get lots
of timeouts when trying to synchronize with the
sourceforge cvs?"

2005/10/24: "I have found the SourceForge CVS server
_extremely_ sluggish and unreliable."

2005/09/14: "I get varying errors depending on the client,
but they seem to all be related to
either the CVS server timing out or the connection
being refused."

Greetings,

Per the site status page:

(  2006-03-13 12:42:16 - Project CVS Service )   As of
2006-03-12 pserver (anonymous) CVS services, along with
tarballs and ViewCVS are down for projects that start with
the letters e, i, j, o, v, w and x. We hope to resolve this
issue in the next 2 days.

Please keep an eye there for further updates to this issue.

Regarding SVN, I am not sure even the SVN developers
themselves can answer that question. I am not aware of a SVN
installation with a potential to grow as large as the one we
are hosting is. While we have gone to great lengths to
ensure its scalable and do not believe there will be issues
with it (SVN is much easier to scale than CVS), only time
will tell.

Regarding performance, CVS is actually faster. There's less
overhead in a CVS operation than there is in a SVN
operation, but, our SVN offering has been more stable of
late, so that may be reason enough to consider it.

However, the CVS issues we have been having are generally
hardware related. We are working on swapping out the
hardware and attempting to isolate the causes, but this
takes time to do, and given the infrastructure and volume of
use, we'd prefer to keep it up, even if only limping, than
take it down for a complete overhaul.

We know these issues have been around for a long time, and
we have been working an equally long amount of time to fix
them. We think we'll be over the hump shortly and CVS
performance will go back to expected levels then.

Thank you,

An interesting recent development:

Yes.  I can observe it right now.  If I attempt to log in to
an arbitrary SourceForge project

cvs
-d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/ant-contrib

I get an immediate completion after hitting enter on the
password.  If I change it to:

cvs -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/junit

I get "Unrecognized auth response from cvs.sourceforge.net:
M PserverBackend: PserverBackend() Connect (Connection Timed
Out)".

Could this be a problem only with JUnit's repository?  Thanks.
