For those of us that have paid XP-Dev for S3 backup services the possibility exists to restore our backed up repositories. The issue is that the tools for recovery are on the XP-Dev servers that are not currently functioning.
An XP-Dev user, Arne, had a copy of the tools on hand. He has graciously shared the tools here:
drive.google.com/file/d/1P6rpg_a4OVP5c0IMq6IGIYB7dY0O8mIb
The tools were written in Python. There were some issues with continuity of the commit chains that I am looking at now, but I am not a PY expert. I am attempting to recover to a new SVN repository.
The recovery scripts do not work with Py 3, so Py 2 must be installed on the recovery machine.
The description from Arne on the recovery process is:
1. Download and unzip recovery tools above.
2. Install Python 2.
3. Run the downloadrepo.py as "downloadrepo.py <amazon aws access key> <amazon aws private key> <bucket name> <repository unique id>" to download the backup and aggregate the single commit dumps into an overall dump. This will need to be performed for each of the repositories in the <bucket name> <repository unique id> arguments to the downloadrepo.py call above.
4. The aggregated single commit file can then be loaded into a newly created (empty) SVN repository with "gunzip -c my_repo-0-<last revision>.dump.gz | svnadmin load /path/to/new/repo" .
I have executed the 'downloadrepo' script and am on to the next steps.
