We have fixed some fairly major bugs that accrued in the access methods for the repositories associated with our GridForge groups and projects. These are now, as far as we can tell, under control and GridForge is availalble again with full access to its online source code repository viewing and command-line or remote client subversion authenticated checkout and commit functions. A similar but different bug prevented public comment logon for some users at the www.ogf.org documents Public Comment pages. That has been addressed, and to account for the fact that this may have interfered with the public comment period for the Firewall Traversal Protocol (FiTP) document currently under review by the GFSG, the public comment period for this document has been extended until January 9, 2012. http://ogf.org/gf/docs/?public_comment Please review this document over the holidays or early in the year, and let us know if you encounter any difficulties in posting comments. The "Task manager" functions in GridForge are still offline. The subversion repository access has been switched from http to https to protect account credentials in transit. As a result, you will have to change your access to any given repository accordingly. The command to do so for any working directory you may have already checked out is as follows (thank to Andre Merzky for providing this): svn switch --relocate http://forge.ogf.org/svn/repos/(your repos) \ https://forge.ogf.org/svn/repos/(your repos) The certificate supporting this is a self-signed one for now; we plan to replace this with a commercial certificate shortly. Thanks, Alan for the hardworking OGF IT committee (let us know if you want to join!)
