Fwd: EU SVN Mirror - Open for business

[Janne Jalkanen <Ja...@ecyrd.com>]

FYI for all developers too; I've been using the EU mirror for a few  
weeks now and it's *significantly* faster than trying to sync over  
the pond.  As I *think* most of the JSPWiki developers are in Europe  
(frankly, I have no idea, but just guessing based on the email  
addresses of the people who are most loud ;-)

Especially notice the comment about "svn up".  Conflicts are a pain  
to manage...

> Folks,

> The hotly anticipated EU SVN mirror is now open to all committers.
> svn.eu.apache.org has been running for a couple of months and we are
> looking for people to start using the mirror on a full time &  
> permanent
> basis.
>
> We currently only mirror the main repo, that is /repos/asf/
> All other repos remain available only through svn.apache.org, i.e
> /repos/private/
>
> If you intend to use the new mirror you can use the relocate function,
> saving you having to check out all your local working copies from the
> mirror.  Do this by using the following:
>
> svn switch --relocate $old $new
> i.e. "svn switch --relocate
> https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/trunk
> https://svn.eu.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/trunk"
>
> Reminder:  Don't forget to use HTTPS otherwise you won't be able to
> commit any changes.
>
> There are two other good reasons to change:
>
> 1 - The EU mirror (svn.eu.apache.org) is almost twice as fast as the
> master (svn.apache.org) - This is noticeable immediately after  
> switching
> over. More so for those located in the EU.
>
> 2 - We are now providing "experimental" support for git-svn over SSL.
> This is only available through the EU mirror.
>
> It is also worth pointing out how the commits made through the EU  
> mirror
> are handled.  After you commit your changes they are proxied back to
> svn.apache.org - These commits are then synchronised back to
> svn.eu.apache.org. In light of this, I would advise that you get into
> the habit of running "svn up" before making any local changes,  
> where you
> possibly can.
