[Difx-users] DiFX SVN repo {External}

[Adam Deller]

Hi difx-users,

Since we migrated to git some time ago, CSIRO wants to take the DiFX SVN
repo offline. They propose that the repo would be disabled, ie moved out of
the way so it can't be seen from the web. It will be otherwise intact, just
not visible. The proposed change date is Wed 8 April 2026, so quite soon
actually. (I just heard about this today).

As far as I remember/understand the state of play, the SVN version history
for every file currently in git is available from the DiFX git repo, but we
don't have all the original tags (DiFX-2.1, DiFX-2.2, etc etc) available as
git tags. So I think the loss of SVN would inconvenience anyone that wanted
to get an older version. We could probably mitigate that by getting
tarballs of all the older versions and sticking them somewhere. But do
other people have thoughts as to whether access to the old svn archive
would be problematic enough to push back on, rather than work around?

Cheers, Adam
