Good grief, the download page at SF needs the flash plug-in now. I have to keep encountering a non-responsive script when I try to scroll down about 5000 lines to find libpng-1.2.38 I have added new packages 00-libpng-master, 00-libpng-devel, and 00-libpng-stable, and put just the most recent files (libpng-1.2.38beta01, libpng-1.4.0beta69, libpng-1.0.47, libpng-1.2.38) in there. Hopefully they will migrate to the top of the listing in a while (changes like that can be done quickly with sftp but don't become visible for some time). We need to look for a new host. Now.

Libpng won't be accepted there unless we relicense to the actual zlib/libpng license. On Sun, Jul 26, 2009 at 6:27 PM, Adam M.

I'm confused. libpng isn't under the libpng license? libpng isn't open source? There are other options. github has free hosting for open source git repositories. there's http://savannah.nongnu.org/ We could probably help with mirroring if traffic is an issue. How big is the site? -r |

How big is the site? I'm actually satisfied with the "git" part of the SourceForge support. It is the "File Release System" which has been declining in quality. I guess we have several thousand files (hundreds of releases, 10-16 files per release). SourceForge used to provide a file count but now the script keeps quitting before it finishes. Glenn |

Now there are 00-libpng-stable, 01-libpng-master, and 02-libpng-devel packages. This puts the files people really want up at the top of the presentation with all of the historical files following, in the libpng-devel, libpng-master, and libpng-stable packages. Since the PHP script always dies and I have to hit "stop script", I'm not exactly sure how SourceForge really expects things to look, but what I see now is at least useable. We need to look for a new host. Now. > Never mind that, I was just very frosted when I wrote that. As I said in another message, official mirrors of ftp://ftp.simplesystems.org/pub/png/src and ftp://ftp.simplesystems.org/pub/png-group/src would be useful. Also additional mirrors of the git repository would be helpful. I consider the one at simplesystems to be the "official" git epository, although any clone, such as the one at SourceForge, should be indistinguishable from it. I don't want to set up things so that simplesystems.org gets hammered because it is a private system and its bandwidth is privately paid for. Glenn |

Most PNG files are likely automatically retrieved. The number of PNG source packages independently downloaded by a human is likely trivial compared to the number downloaded by build scripts provided in source-based operating systems like Gentoo and FreeBSD Ports. This naming convention makes it more work to update one of those "port" definitions than to simply increase a number. Any change to existing download paths will cause the existing ports to fail to retrieve the source package. > I don't want to set up things so that simplesystems.org > gets hammered because it is a private system and > its bandwidth is privately paid for. Currently PNG stuff is about 1/2 of the simplesystems.org consumed ftp bandwidth, but the site can't sustain the load caused by various "ports" systems since it is across a DSL line.

There is now an rsync server available so that the specification rsync://ftp.simplesystems.org/png_ftp obtains the top of the libpng ftp files (currently 2.1G of files). For example: rsync -a rsync://ftp.simplesystems.org/png_ftp . Please don't abuse it.

For example: > > rsync -a rsync://ftp.simplesystems.org/png_ftp . It seems that I forgot to unblock the port on the firewall. The above formula should be working now. Only people setting up a public mirror of the PNG sources, or who have substantial reason to backup the PNG related files, should do a bulk recursive transfer using rsync. Bandwidth is limited. Rsync does support transfer of individual files and directories. Use rsync --list-only --recursive rsync://ftp.graphicsmagick.org/png_ftp to obtain a full dump of the files available via rsync. For example rsync --list-only --recursive rsync://ftp.graphicsmagick.org/png_ftp/png/src/history lists only the files which would be retrieved from png/src/history.

I can confirm it works now: $ rsync -av rsync://ftp.simplesystems.org/png_ftp/png/src/* . ... sent 2160987 bytes received 1992495 bytes 30428.44 bytes/sec total size is 272710020 speedup is 65.66 Thanks! -r P.S. We're a bit short of server space at the moment, but I hope to put a public mirror up in a month or two. If someone wants a faster copy in the meantime, let me now. |
