We used A2 Hosting for a month for our Subversion Repo. We've now switched to CodebaseHQ after it was mentioned on this board. Codebase provide Git, Mercurial and Subversion hosting with a ticketing system to replace Trac. www.codebasehq.com/

Thanks for the codebase pointer - looks interesting. I didn't realise they supported Mercurial. I've opened a trial account.

To Roopinders Family, Thank you and we know that you trying your best to help us. We just got an email from xpdev that our account will be deleted in 7 days. This means we will lost our source code from all projects that we worked on for the past many years. The problem is I cannot access the projects as XPDEV is asking me to pay a higher tier because we already reached a limit, hence we cannot create backups of anything. Please do understand that this is our lifes work and it will be deleted in 7 days! I know you mentioned IT Professionals are looking into this, but please if you can give us access or at least HALT the deletion of accounts. We really need to recover our projects.

I am very sorry to hear about the sudden passing and offer my sincere condolences. If it is any consolation, my company has been using xp-dev for more than 13 years and we have always been very pleased with the service and company. I know I speak for others as well when I say xp-dev was an enormous help to a lot of businesses such as ours. Our major problem is that all our projects are on xp-dev and losing the company’s xp-dev account would essentially mean the destruction of countless years’ worth of work. Therefore, we are absolutely open to the idea of making extra payments to retrieve our files and any other possible payments to keep the company running. I can’t stress enough about how worried and concerned we are for the whole situation. We understand that this is an incredibly difficult time and recognize the effort you are putting in to continue xp-dev but it would genuinely change everything for me and many others if xp-dev started working again. Can you please let us know the current situation with the IT companies you are working with and if there is anything we can do to help. We will be checking this site regularly for any changes.

Repositories are down again - can you please let us know if they can be brought back up? I've never been able to access any of the repos as soon as the owner's death was announced. I've given up and luckily had local copies of most of my repos so I can move them to github.

I've given up and luckily had local copies of most of my repos so I can move them to github. We have not been able to access anything in all 7 of our repositories since the beginning as well. We can access the XP-Dev tracking along with Trac though. If you managed to get anything from the repositories you may be one of the lucky few.

Dear family and friends of Roopinder Singh--I'm very sorry for your loss. I appreciate you handling this situation to the best of your ability while you grieve your loss.
For those of you panicking about downloading all of your SVN repos, here's a quick way to get a local backup (for windows users): 1. Navigate to https://[your account].xp-dev.com/account/usage 2. Copy all the repository names 3. Paste in your favorite text editor and clean up the list 4. Copy and paste the repo list into Excel into column A. In column B, paste this formula: ="svnrdump dump https://[your account].xp-dev.com/svn/"& A1 &" > " & A1 &".dump" 5. Copy column B into a text file and name it whatever.bat 6. Save whatever.bat in the folder you want to keep your backups in. 7. Ensure that you have the latest subversion executable that includes svnrdump.exe on your PC 8. Run whatever.bat, ideally from a command line so that you can see/save the backup process to verify that you got everything.
Hope that helps. SKS

Yeah, my repo is not accessible, otherwise I would have done a full dump already. Any plans on making it available?

Hi, it seems that as of yesterday the certificate on xp-dev.com/ is expired. Are there any prospects of it being updated?

Any suggested hosting services for Mercurial?

It is bit strange that we didn't have any access problems till July 16th. So we were not even aware of this unfortunate event of Boopinder passing. Condolences to his family. Only on July 16th, we saw complains of expired certs which caused us to reach out. We also have backups enabled to AWS s3. But it looks like storage is proprietary and so it relies on tools and knowledge that Boopinder developed to create a dumb and migrate. Still struggling to see if we can make his tools work but what a nightmare. If anyone has been able to successfully take stuff from S3 and migrate it, we will greatly appreciate any insights. We have this link xp-dev-recovery.boards.net/thread/2/repository-restoration-amazon-s3-backupsbut so far no success.

We were unaware of any problem until yesterday, when the security certificate expired. I was able to log on to xp-dev.com by advancing beyond the warning, but was getting a different error when trying to access our repository ------.xp-dev.com/login that was not allowing us to ignore the warning and get access. I started another browser session, deleted all cookies, and then found that we did get the option to ignore the warning. We have now taking svn dumps, and think we will move to Assembla. It was very easy to restore the svn dump files on this platform (although I have only tried one small repository so far), whereas on some of the other platforms I checked it seemed quite complex.
