The new cvs server is now handling requests. If you are having problems
it is most likely because the DNS change hasn't propagated to you yet.
The new box is a monster dual 3GHz CPU machine with 4G of ram running
64-bit FreeBSD6 with 6 73G 10k rpm SCSI drives in raid 10.
time cvs -d:pserver:rasmus@cvs.php.net:/repository co -R PHP_5_1 php-src
...
real 0m10.554s
user 0m0.978s
sys 0m2.170s
time cvs upd -dP
...
real 0m5.554s
user 0m0.355s
sys 0m0.402s
So a full php-src checkout in about 10s and an update in about 5s.
Granted, this is on a box close network-wise, so most people won't quite
get that, but at least the bottleneck is not going to be the server anymore.
viewcvs is up and running and lxr/bonsai will be coming online sometime
soon. If you see any weirdness with the new server please drop an email
to systems@php.net and let us know.
Thanks to Yahoo! for donating the box and bandwidth and specifically to
Paul Saab for clearing away all the hurdles to finally get it up. And
to Wez for his help in the migration.
