This bug appears to be back in some form: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1387699&group_id=6… I was unable to reopen the tracker item. Can someone help me to at least debug this problem? When exceptions are swallowed like that without a backtrace, I don't know where to start.

spambayes CVS repository problem
by Sjoerd Mullender July 26, 2007

July 26, 2007

After the change to SVN, I would like to copy my private changes over to the new checkout. However, I can't easily since cvs diff gives me cvs diff: failed to create lock directory for `/cvsroot/spambayes/spambayes' (/cvsroot/spambayes/spambayes/#cvs.lock): Permission denied cvs diff: failed to obtain dir lock in repository `/cvsroot/spambayes/spambayes' cvs [diff aborted]: read lock failed - giving up Presumably this is an attempt to prevent people from accidentally committing to the wrong repository, but it makes it difficult to read the repository. Maybe a better way than making the directories read-only would be to add a commitinfo entry. Something like ALL /bin/false might do the job. -- Sjoerd Mullender

Should we cull the list of SpamBayes developers?
by skip＠pobox.com July 25, 2007

July 25, 2007

(crap... let's try that again) As I was running through the developer list this evening disabling CVS access it occurred to me that we probably have a number of developers who are no longer interested maintaining in that role. Then I got a mail just a bit ago asking if one of the formerly active developers is still active. Got me to thinking... Here's the current list: anadelonbrin Tony Meyer anthonybaxter Anthony Baxter bkc Brad Clements bwarsaw Barry A. Warsaw fmmr Fredrik Rodland gvanrossum Guido van Rossum gward Greg Ward hooft Rob W.W. Hooft htrd Toby Dickenson jhylton Jeremy Hylton jvr Just van Rossum kpitt Kenny Pitt lemburg M.-A. Lemburg limbus Manuel Dejonghe mhammond Mark Hammond montanaro Skip Montanaro nascheme Neil Schemenauer npickett Neale Pickett popiel T. Alexander Popiel rhettinger Raymond Hettinger richiehindle Richie Hindle seantrue Sean True sjoerd Sjoerd Mullender tim_one Tim Peters timstone4 Tim Stone xenogeist Adam Walker I'm cc'ing everyone's SF email address as well as spambayes-dev, as some of you are probably no longer subscribed to that mailing list. Let me know if you'd like to be removed from the SpamBayes developer list. If you don't reply to this note I'll assume you want to remain as a developer. If mail sent to your SF email address bounces I'll try other means to get ahold of you. If I'm unsuccessful, I'll remove you. That's the only reason I would remove you without getting an actual response from you. There's no pressure here, BTW. I have been thinking for awhile that we probably should put out a request looking for people interested in moving SpamBayes forward though. Knowing where we stand in the active developers department would be useful in deciding how much new blood to try and attract. Thx, Skip Montanaro

Bye bye, CVS

July 24, 2007

I'm in the midst of disabling developer (read/write) access to the CVS repository for all of us SpamBayes developers. Anonymous read-only access will still be available should you need to diff something in your sandbox. Skip

CVS to Subversion - complete I think
by skip＠pobox.com July 17, 2007

July 17, 2007

I believe the CVS-to-Subversion migration is complete. I've not yet been able to do a checkout that allows me to commit. I think I'm just missing some flags on my svn co command. My laptop login is "skip" while my SF login is "montanaro". I checked it out using svn co --username=montanaro https://montanaro@spambayes.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/spambayes/trunk spambayes When I try to check in a change using svn commit --username=montanaro -m 'first commit - note version control change' I get this output: Authentication realm: <https://spambayes.svn.sourceforge.net:443> SourceForge Subversion area Password for 'montanaro': Authentication realm: <https://spambayes.svn.sourceforge.net:443> SourceForge Subversion area Username: svn: Commit failed (details follow): svn: MKACTIVITY of '/svnroot/spambayes/!svn/act/7c13b838-9cac-4e6d-9c05-0528431381a2': authorization failed (https://spambayes.svn.sourceforge.net) Any thoughts on what I'm missing? Thx, Skip

I'll send out an email once I'm about to launch into the step that takes me past the point of no return. I was closer to the point of no return than I thought. I'm beginning the process now (around 9:20AM CDT). Please don't make any modifications to the CVS repository. I'll send out an all clear email. Skip

July 15, 2007

I'm in the midst of doing the CVS to Subversion conversion though I'm not blessed with a lot of free time today (it's Ellen's birthday). If you have stuff to check in feel free to do so. I'll watch for checkins and start over. Otherwise, I'll probably have it finished sometime tomorrow. I'll send out an email once I'm about to launch into the step that takes me past the point of no return. Skip
