git.openmoko.org / GTA02 kernel sources?

[Dr. H. Nikolaus Schaller-2]

I tried to fetch the latest kernel sources from http://git.openmoko.org/?p=kernel.git;a=summary 
  for learning something, but it appears that the server has some  
failure:

iMac:tmp hns$ git clone git://git.openmoko.org/git/kernel.git linux-2.6
Initialized empty Git repository in /private/tmp/linux-2.6/.git/
remote: fatal: Out of memory, realloc failed
remote: aborting due to possible repository corruption on the remote  
side.
fatal: early EOF
fatal: index-pack failed
iMac:tmp hns$

So my main question is where I can get recent enough kernel sources  
from?

That also raises more general questions:
* who (person, company) is responsible for git.openmoko.org?
* even more general: who is responsible for openmoko.org?
* if nobody, how can we protect that it suddenly completely disappears  
because some room manager unplugs the power cord or nobody pays the  
annual fee for the domain registration?

BR,
Nikolaus

Great! Worked fine.

should be fixed now

the repo got quite big so we hit memory as well as diskspace quotas at
the same time ;)

i just cloned the kernel repo and it went through fine at >800kbyte/sec

kind regards

Thanks for continuously providing infrastructure support to us although
your contract has ended long ago!

Cheers,

I asked Joachim. I hope I got the details right:

- Openmoko Inc. still pays for the domain and the openmoko.org
  servers.

- The openmoko.org domain is owned by Openmoko Inc.

- the name servers serving the openmoko.org domain are Harald's
  or from the Netfilter project

- As far as I could puzzle this out, the servers are owned by
  Openmoko Inc., however, Harald and/or Gismo would get notified
  if anything was to happen to the servers.

- The openmoko.org servers are managed by Joachim and Gismo, in
  their spare time. (The physical machines are at Hetzner.)

Thanks for figuring this out - and many thanks to the volunteers to  
keep the infrastructure running! Please let us all know if you need  
support.

Some of us who are for a long time in the Linux handhelds ecosystem  
may remember the moment approx. 5 years ago when Sharp did pull the  
plug from the Zaurus forums and project pages. Some fast guys were  
able to copy many files from the Googe cache but the Wiki war mostly  
lost.

BR,
Nikolaus

Somewhat unrelated, but I wonder how the git-wiki projects are doing.
http://github.com/minad/git-wiki/network is supposed to give a clue
where the action is, but I find it somewhat confusing. (I guess it
would be much more useful if it only had a zoom ...)

http://git.awiki.org/ looks quite nice. A git-based Wiki that also
gives access to the repository would nicely solve the backup problem.

If the Wiki content is stored as plain files and revision meta-data
lives in git only (and its consistency is therefore ensured by git),
this would even allow for editing of the local copy with commits
from the command line, finally eliminating the evil Web-only
interface. Not sure if the git-wikis work like this, though.

We still support this infrastructure and pay Gismo a monthly salary to
maintain things for us. He's doing great work, but do let us know if
there is anything specific you'd like us to improve.

Thanks for clarifying and thanks for your continued support of
the Openmoko community !
