Description Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2020-12-27 07:19:49 UTC

CVS repositories were apparently just shut down, but history of app-backup category from gentoo-x86 repository is still not viewable.

I'm trying to understand the actual action we are supposed to take to fix this bug. One way forward is to just publish a signed tarball of the CVS repositories; and if folks need history they can just download it? Does that work or do you have a different need?

I suggest to re-create https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo/historical.git repository with app-backup category included.

How about instead of 'suggesting', you actually provide patches to do it?

ulm's new repo is around (archives/repo/gentoo-2) and we believe it contains this information.
