[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi folks,

The reason for these errors is that various parts of GNU Savannah have
been under a sizable botnet attack for a few days now.  Savannah hackers
and FSF sysadmins have been working on it mitigating the attack, but it
is an ongoing effort.

In the mean time, I suggest using "member checkouts" (i.e. ssh) for
accessing the repositories.  You need to a Savannah account for this,
but to my knowledge you don't have to be a member of that project to
just pull from its repositories using ssh.  Another option would be
using the git:// protocol, which I recommend against, as it's insecure
and prone to MITM attacks.

See
    https://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=guix
and
    https://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/UsingGit/
for more details.

Hope this helps.

Hi Amin,

Thank you for this nice reply.

Would it be possible to have an *official* backup Git repository hosted
somewhere else (like Github, or whatever), where we could redirect users
when they encounter issues?

For the time being you can do

  git clone https://guix.gnu.org/git/guix

which is a read-only copy of my clone of the repository.  I’d like to
make it automatically sync up with the repo on Savannah, but I ran out
of time.

Great!  Thank you very much,
Clément

PS: I'm closing the bug, since it doesn't really depend on us and we
have a workaround.

Did you use --mirror to do this?

It should be trivial to finish but I don't want to step on your 
toes.

No, I didn’t know about “--mirror”.  I only did this on berlin:

   cd /srv/git
   git init --bare guix

Then I set up git serving over HTTP with some changes to maintenance.git
(not pushed yet but changed on berlin).

Then I pushed to it from my laptop:

   git remote add berlin ssh://berlin.guixsd.org:/srv/git/guix
   git push berlin
