unless anyone's done nmh work since the 27th, it seems like maybe
we don't need to do anything at all.

Subject: [Savannah-announce] New recovery process
Reply-To: savannah-users(_at_)gnu(_dot_)org
To make things easier, we'll eventually recover all CVS/SVN from the
May 27 backup, except for repositories that were already re-imported.
If you have a pending (non-processed) request about importing an
earlier backup, we'll ask you confirmation.
If you already imported and want to switch back to the May 27 backup,
submit a new request, saying that you want to replace the current
repository.
Status:
- CVS: right now we're dealing with data copies and data allocation
delays, we'll get back to you within some hours
- SVN: done
- Git/Hg: we don't do anything right now; the new backup is still
available in the backup-20090527 directory if necessary. Later we'll
compare the last commit date with the May 27 backup, in case the
project has no currently active admin and wasn't repushed yet.

Good news: we discovered a new backup from May 27th.
After tests, it appears to be a complete backup.
We've added a new backup-20090527 directory.
It's available for cvs/svn/git/hg.
We're replicating to the disk at the moment (right now it's a
read-only remote mount).
If you want to use it instead of the April backup, you can modify your
support request.

In your requests, remember to specify:
- name of the project
- VCS type (CVS / SVN / both)
- date of the backup to recover (April / May)

It's time to decide what to do with your data.
(see first explanations at

Please discuss and send questions at savannah-users(_at_)gnu(_dot_)org
!
For import requests: see below, you need to send a support request via
the web interface.
Basically your choices are:
a) you can use the backup from April 29
b) you can use our latest (incomplete) backup from May 29
c) you can import another backup you have
d) you can wait a few days until we possibly recover latest data from
the
crashes disk (nothing is sure though). More details about this later.
Here's how do it for the various VCSs:
* CVS:
a) The version from 29 April in the 'backup-20090429' subdirectory.
b) The version from 29 May in the 'backup-20090529-incomplete'
subdirectory.
c) Upload your backup in your download area (SFTP) for us to import
Access commands:
cvs
-d:pserver:anonymous(_at_)cvs(_dot_)sv(_dot_)gnu(_dot_)org:/sources/backup-20090429/your_project
co your_module
cvs
-d:pserver:anonymous(_at_)cvs(_dot_)sv(_dot_)gnu(_dot_)org:/sources/backup-20090529-incomplete/your_pro
ject
co your_module
rsync rsync://cvs.sv.gnu.org/sources/backup-20090429/your_project/
rsync
rsync://cvs.sv.gnu.org/sources/backup-20090529-incomplete/your_project/
IN ALL CASES: post a support request, authenticated (i.e. login first)
at
https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?func=additem&group=administration
with
category "RECOVERY: CVS/SVN". Requests send by mail or in the wrong
category
won't be processed.
If after 2 weeks we didn't receive an answer for your project, we'll
reinstall the latest backup we have.
* SVN:
a) The version from 29 April in the 'backup-20090429' subdirectory.
b) The version from 29 May in the 'backup-20090529-incomplete'
subdirectory.
c) Upload your backup in your download area (SFTP)
Access commands:
svn co svn://svn.sv.gnu.org/backup-20090429/your_project
svn co svn://svn.sv.gnu.org/backup-20090529-incomplete/your_project
rsync rsync://svn.sv.gnu.org/svn/backup-20090429/your_project/
rsync
rsync://svn.sv.gnu.org/svn/backup-20090529-incomplete/your_project/
(if you get an error from this last one, it's probably corrupted)
IN ALL CASES: post a support request, authenticated (i.e. login first)

* Git:
a) We installed the version from 29 April.
b) You can attempt to recover from the partial 29 May backup:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/r/backup-20090529-incomplete/
c) You can push a local version if you have one (git push --all; git
push
--tags)
You can import the repository directly, without our help.
* Mercurial:
a) We installed the version from 29 April.
b) We don't have a more recent backup
c) You can push a local version if you have one.
You can import the repository directly, without our help.
* WebCVS:
We plan to either recover the data from disk, or failing that, manually
commit the latest version at www.gnu.org and www.nongnu.org.
