Forum OpenACS Development: Broken Download Repositories

It looks like the repository for 5.6 is broken:
https://openacs.org/repository/5-6/
As well, the 5.7 repository appears to still have the developmental packages:
https://openacs.org/repository/5-7/

I was really hoping this would get a response. Broken infrastructure doesn't look good to anyone 😟

I'd be happy to look after the repository if someone could tell me who I need to talk to, and/or what I need to do.

Sorry Dafydd,

I just don't know. Maybe you could try contacting the OCT?

Hi, I am attempting to rebuild the repository now.

I changed HEAD to 5.8 so the 5.7 packages should be built.

Its not clear if optional packages are included for 5.7 that depends on if they were tagged for release with 5.7 compatibility.

OK rebuilidng the repository worked. I think it was not rebuilt when the server was updated at some point.

Unfortunately the 5.6 branch repository is still missing. I believe there was some issue with the CVS tags sometime, but I thought it had been fixed previously. I'll try to figure it out.

It looks like it is still down: https://openacs.org/repository/5-7/

As well, the new 5.8 repository has development packages, not the 5.7 ones...

I'd be happy to look at the repository generator code if it's available

You are right.

5.7 must also not be tagged as the repository builder expects.

5.8 is an alias for HEAD so it should have development packages.
