"Leaving Sourceforge" article on Advogato
There's a discussion of SourceForge alternatives at http://www.advogato.org/article/357.html, and in a comment someone mentions that there's an XML export of the data in the tracker. Unfortunately I can't get it to work following his instructions, but perhaps someone else can experiment with it more than I can. --amk

I can't get it to work either, but if someone comes up with the right recipe, I can add it to our backup script. Every night I pull down the CVS repositories for Python, Mailman, Jython, and mimelib. I also grab the Jython FAQ and moinmoin. These I backup nightly on a Pythonlabs/ZC server. So I feel fairly confident about this data. But I'd love to find a solution for the tracker data too. -Barry

works fine from MSIE, using this URL: url = ( "http://sourceforge.net/export/sf_tracker_export.php" + "?atid=105470&group_id=5470" ) returns a 1666445 byte large document (with no content type), starting with: <tracker version="1.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://sourceforge.net/export/sf_tracker_export.xsd"> <artifact id="473985"> <submitted_by>doerwalter</submitted_by> <submitted_date>2001-10-23 03:39</submitted_date> <artifact_type id="105470">105470</artifact_type> <category id="347131">Type/class unification</category> <artifact_group id="136128"></artifact_group> <assigned_to>Guido van Rossum</assigned_to> <priority id="5">5</priority> <status>Open</status> <resolution>Remind</resolution> <summary>str, __getitem__ and slices</summary> <detail>Using slices with __getitem__ doesn't work with (this returns the bugs database. see http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=5470 for atid's for other parts of the tracker) doing the same through urllib doesn't appear work, though.

FYI, It seems that you have to be logged into SF in order for the download to work. Netscape does the download too if you create a web page and then use the right-click-download feature. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg CEO eGenix.com Software GmbH ______________________________________________________________________ Consulting & Company: http://www.egenix.com/ Python Software: http://www.lemburg.com/python/
It's worth re-visiting the advogato page again - there's a post from Pat McGovern at SF there now.
