I just moved WP.org plugins SVN and Trac to a new server. What does this mean for you?
1) If your DNS resolver doesn’t honor TTLs, you may see a “down” message for http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org and you may get an error message when committing to http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org
2) Core WP trac shouldn’t be so slow anymore. About 80% of the resources on the server were being used by plugins core + trac. I plan on moving core WP trac to a new server soon-ish, but in the mean time, it should be much snappier.
3) The SVN server version is now 1.5 instead of 1.4 (yes, I know – still behind. May upgrade later)
4) I may have completely broken something 
I don’t think I have, but if you find plugins SVN or trac completely broken, please let me know here!

Things are faster, but as i mentioned to barry earlier on #wordpress-dev, some commit notices still didnt flow through to their respective tickets.. It was only one out of 20ish however, which isnt too bad considering
Thanks for all the work you do Barry, i’m sure its not said very often publicly.

Will fix ASAP as discussed in #wordpress-dev. Was hoping to get to it this weekend, but looks like it may be this coming week instead.

Maybe it’s an idea to add the feed of this blog to http://planet.wordpress.org/ ?

I don’t know if it is related to this or not, but plugins on bbpress.org plugins repo are not getting updated on the extend page.
Barry 1:51 pm on March 30, 2010 Permalink
Likely not related but I can take a look. Can you please provide a specific example?

Like I just added this plugin on the repo – http://plugins-dev.bbpress.org/changeset/2753/ (about half an hour ago) but it is not showing up here – http://bbpress.org/plugins/ nor here – http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/scrim-email-saver/

Looks like my previous comment went in spam… Well, I had just committed a new plugin named scrim email checker few hours ago and it is still not showing up on the extend page. (You may check the repo log yourself, because if I post links here, my comment might get into the moderation/spam queue.)

Any updates? The plugin is still not showing up.

In your readme.txt file for that plugin, you have
But that svn tag does not exist: http://plugins-svn.bbpress.org/scrim-email-saver/tags/
So there are two ways to fix it. Either change to “Stable tag: trunk” or svn cp your trunk/ to tags/0.1/
See http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/about/readme.txt for a description of stable tag, and http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/about/svn/#task-3 for more details on tagging in subversion.

That didn’t work, tagged the 0.1 version here – http://plugins-dev.bbpress.org/changeset/2756/
Gautam 5:55 pm on April 2, 2010 Permalink
What to do? Has been 4 days since that.
mdawaffe 6:33 pm on April 2, 2010 Permalink
Fixed.
The issue I mentioned masked a bug in our code. Thanks for helping us find it
It might be a couple hours before the download works for you; it could take that long for some of our servers to catch up.
Sorry about the hassle.
Gautam 6:11 am on April 3, 2010 Permalink
Ok, it is up now
Gautam 2:03 pm on April 3, 2010 Permalink
I know this is off topic, but can you shed some light on this ticket? – http://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1150

Is the WordPress/BBPress/Trac + SVN plugin browser open sourced? Wondering if I could use it to host plugins for another open source project?
