[vlc-devel] Musepack SVN servers up again

[Michael Lum]

Dear VLC developers;

I understand that for the Musepack sources are now pulled from VLC's own 
servers instead of the original source's SVN servers due to an issue 
with the latter.

I have contacted the maintainer for Musepack, and he has resolved the 
issue himself as illustrated in the forwarded emails. There should be no 
need for users to retrieve Musepac from VLC's own servers anymore. The 
build script can thus be restored to perform an SVN export as per usual.

Thanks, Michael.

And we'll definitely implement some monitoring that also alerts about 
things like.. free disk space! (such a silly issue, so frustrating)

Good day.

    Hi Shy,

    Allow me to express my thanks for solving the issue. As of now, the
    git repositories for VLC are using their own archive to provide the
    source package; if it is okay with you, I will forward your most
    recent email  to the VLC developers so that they can be informed
    that your SVN server is up again and that the original svn export
    line can be restored in a future release.

    Once again, thank you for taking the trouble to solve this issue! ^^

    Hi, Michael. It was fixed about an hour ago.
    Again, really sorry. Essentially perfect uptime in 7 years, ruined.
    WON'T happen again.

    Thanks.

            Hi, Michael, I'm still not able to check it myself, so I'll
            ask did downloading revision 484 instead of 481 work?

                Yes, this is a problem with our server unfortunately,
                sorry. A long shot, but maybe try the last revision
                (484) instead. I would fix this myself but the SVN
                server is hosted by another guy, and I'll have to wait
                for him to be available. Hopefully we'll fix it soon.

                Thanks for the alert.

                    Hi, project developers;

                    I am trying to compile VLC on my Linux machines and
                    Musepack happens to be one of the dependencies. The
                    VLC buildscript contains a line to perform an SVN
                    export from the repositories like so:

                    svn export http://svn.musepack.net/libmpc/trunk/ -r
                    481 musepack_src_r481

                    When the script reached that line, it attempts to
                    perform the svn export but fails with an error
                    saying that the position pointer file cannot be
                    created at /tmp/svn-<something> because trhe device
                    is full. I also tried to run the command directly
                    from another terminal window (i.e.: not from the VLC
                    build script) and it returned the same issue on two
                    different Linux PCs.

                    I checked my tmpfs with both df and df -i and found
                    out that I have an abundance of space and available
                    inodes left, so the problem most likely does not
                    exist at my end. Please advise on how I can perform
                    a successful checkout of Musepack so that I can
                    perform a successful build of VLC.

                    Thank you.
