Since a few hours I'm only getting

Code: Select all

svn: Can't connect to host 'anonsvn.kde.org': Connection refused

Does anybody know what's going on? Temporary glitch, planned downtime, server busy streaming Obama's inauguration or more serious problems?

I'm getting the same message.. Any idea why?

Found it already
[21:22:50] * Now talking in #kde-devel
[21:22:50] * Topic is 'anonsvn is currently down |

Seems to be the load from all the users downloading the new KDE.

Downloading SVN Versions (if anything of 4.3) seven days before the release of 4.2 ?!

Hmmm ....

OK. More details here. Looks like this will take some time ... :'(

hello, but there aren't other mirrors for downloading?
I'm starting now to compiling it

I wondered that, too. It's a bit strange, according to the Techbase article

anonsvn.kde.org is a round robin DNS entry, which will resolve to one out of several anonsvn mirrors.

When I try to check out from the mentionend mirror at kde.mneisen.org I get the same error message:

Code: Select all

svn: Can't connect to host 'kde.mneisen.org': Connection refused

When I ping anonsvn.kde.org, it gets resolved everytime to the same machine

Code: Select all

$ ping anonsvn.kde.org                           
PING anonsvn.kde.org (131.174.31.25) 56(84) bytes of data.

which indicates that the machine is up, just the svn server is not running, which also wonders me a bit, because Adrian said in his blog post that the machine did not came up after a power outage (but, well, that's absolutely possible, that just the svn service died)

It seems not to be the first time that the mirroring fails, Adrian wrote about that in an older blog post in which he comes to the conclusion

Probably "hope it stays up for several months again" is the best solution.

So, I'm sorry, but waiting until anonsvn comes up again seems to be the only solution, at least to my knowledge.

svn://websvn.kde.org:443 works fine

also that isn't working anymore.

edit: false alarm, it was temporary

Thanks for the hint, but anonsvn.kde.org also seems to be up again

Edit: Well, not really

Code: Select all

37% svn: Connection closed unexpectedly

...

Edit2: Seems to be just some start up problems (high load because of too many requests after the break?).

Looks like it's running now ..

Setting Topic to solved and thanks to all admins, ... who spent their time and worked to get things working again!
