Create regular downloadable dumps of public SVN repositories
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

For general backup/mirroring and to aid in folks using git/svk/etc tools, it would be great if we had regularly generated downloadable dumps of the public SVN repositories.

http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/svn might be a good place to stick them (on separate host from svn.wikimedia.org to be available in case of failure)

Taking the assignee on this one. Have done an initial dump of revs 1-65293 and saved it to /home/demon/svn/mediawiki-20100418-dump-with-deltas on Mayflower. Need to setup some web access on download.wikimedia.org and come up with a mechanism to do this regularly and automagically.

Still need to set up web access to it, but have it running as a cron doing weekly incremental dumps.
