Where's that tree?
As of this writing, the kernel.org outage continues with no word as to when
the site will be back up. Kernel development never stops, though, and one
of the advantages of the git model is that copies of repositories exist all
over the place. A number of developers have announced new locations for
their trees; some of the relocated repositories are:
Most of these relocations have been advertised as being temporary. It will be interesting to see how many of them move back to kernel.org on its return, especially if that site comes back with stricter rules about access. (Log in to post comments)

Useful! It'd be nice to add info on where some of the other stuff hosted on kernel.org, like udev, has moved to (if anywhere).

(copied from alsa-dev ML)
as kernel.org downtime continues unexpectedly long, I've set up a
git://github.com/tiwai/sound.git
Also, the corresponding alsa-driver-build tree is found in
git://github.com/tiwai/alsa-driver-build.git
The snapshot tarballs are found in:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/tiwai/snapshot/alsa-driver-...
No daily snapshots are found there, and only *.gz is present.

Linus' tree: git://github.com/torvalds/linux.git wasn't on your list (but perhaps everyone already knew about that one).

As a professional (shut *up*) system administrator, I'd be *very* curious to hear what precisely it is that's taking this long about getting the site back on line?
Where was it hosted, by whom; was the hosting donated? Is there a reason why forensics might be blocking availablility, yada yada yada...

the hosting is donated, I don't remember where (it's all documented at kernel.org ;-)
I'm also interested in what has eaten up so much time. I suspect that it's taken days to weeks to just read all the data from original sources to compare it to what they have, but even so it's longer than I would have expected.
Where's that tree? Posted Sep 30, 2011 20:39 UTC (Fri) by corbet (editor, #1) [Link] It was hosted at OSU.As for why it's taking so long, consider how much anybody involved is likely to want to go through this kind of thing twice. A lot of care is being taken to ensure that the restored kernel.org is more secure than it was before.
