Re: [eclipse.org-architecture-council] FW: [Bug 402183] GitHub mirrors a

["Thomas Watson" <tjwatson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I got a note as an apache committer that all the GitHub mirrors from apache are gone also.  Here is the note I got from ASF infra (anyone know if Eclipse is the other organization referenced?):

Hello committers,

We have received quite a few reports of github mirrors gone missing. We’ve
tracked this down to an errant process at Github which appears to be deleting
not only ours but also other orgs’ mirrors. We contacted Github but have yet to
receive a reply. Another organization also contacted github and received the
following reply:

"Hi there, Sorry for the trouble! We've now had a couple of reports of this
problem, and we've opened an issue internally to investigate.  I don't have an
ETA on a fix, but we'll be in touch if we need more information from you or if
we have any information to share.  Regards, Laura GitHub Support”


We have no further information at this time. We have been restoring the mirrors
wherever possible, but until the root cause is resolved on Github’s side, we
expect mirrors to continue to be erroneously removed.

Access to the repos via the usual https://git-wip-us.apache.org/ channel
remains functional.

Hi fellow AC, you might want to chime in on this…

I’d like to put this on the agenda for our May 11 meeting.

Thanks,
Martin

    Hey, the mirrors are a mess. Yesterday they had content. Perhaps a bit stale.
    Right now, they are completely empty!!! "This repository is empty."
    
    Having mirrors of Eclipse hosted git repos on GitHub is necessary. People can
    use the information on GitHub to easily get stats about the repo, to fork it
    for local work, etc. It is way too useful to have them on GitHub to not solve
    this.
    
    I do not see why EF does not take proper ownership of this. Put the hooks in
    place and push to the mirrors from the EF servers. Do it as a cron job at some
    frequency, or as a post-update hook. Please.
