The problem is that the previous DNS server of the linuxsampler.org domain was 
on one of my servers, which does not exist anymore. So right now for some 
people *.linuxsampler.org DNS still works due to their local DNS caching, all 
other ones fail to resolve any linuxsampler.org DNS entry.

I already have set up a new DNS server as replacement for the old DNS server, 
but the registrar entry of the linuxsampler.org domain needs to be updated for 
that new DNS server to be used, which I can't do. Only Benno can do that, 
since he is the only one who got access to the domain's registrar account.
But ... I can't reach Benno. I am trying for 2 months now.

I will try to contact him once more, but if it doesn't work out soon, then we 
need an alternative. For example I still have the opensampler.org domain which 
we could switch to. But I hope we can avoid that, since I am not very keen to 
update all stuff with new URLs.

As a workaround, simply add the following line to your /etc/hosts file:

193.37.152.153	svn.linuxsampler.org
