Re: [boost] Decommissioning Trac (svn.boost.org)

Hi, We chatted about this briefly in Slack last week. I am working on mirroring the website svn.boost.org using "wget --mirror". This copies all the dynamic content as simple static files. The mirror took a long time, multiple days, although the total content was around 27GB. Now the issue is to debug some of the details, such as question marks in filenames, international character sets, conflicting file and directory names. So, the task is ongoing.

Another way to put this: is anyone interested in keeping this enough that they'd be willing to put in the work to migrate this stuff to another server and get all that working?

There is much history in Trac, especially in Boost.Math documentation, and many links to items in Trac recording difficulties, resolutions, rationale etc, so it would be a pity to lose these.

If some way of redirecting these links to a static HTML can be found at reasonable cost and difficulty, this would be ideal.

We have Trac in read-only mode after we migrated to Git, but we're still paying for the server.

Do people still want to preserve any part of the content in some way?

The wiki aside, there are old issues, with comments, and some of them have patches attached.

Peter had the idea of generating static HTML content from Trac and hosting that on an archive section on boost.org. (I don't know how difficult this is to do).

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Glen
