This page tracks requests for actions from the vcs-imports operator. To request an import, please see the instructions on VcsImports.

Note that we only do imports of MAIN branches on CVS (the form will have to be updated to remove the "branch" field).

We will handle your request and keep you informed of progress or issues.   You can contact a vcs-imports operator on #launchpad on irc.libera.chat.

Note: There exists also https://dev.launchpad.net/ReviewingCodeImports, which is rather more up to date, and which this page should probably go away in favour of.

Imports that are currently failing: https://code.launchpad.net/+code-imports?field.review_status=FAILING

Number failing by type on 2011-04-08:
 * CVS: 434
 * Subversion via CSCVS: 451
 * Subversion via bzr-svn: 80
 * Git: 108
 * Mercurial: 119

... from which we may conclude that CSCVS is A Problem :-)

== [svn] svn_subst_translate_stream3 ==

Imports that failed with the following error:

{{{
python2.4: /build/buildd/subversion-1.3.1/subversion/libsvn_subr/subst.c:809: svn_subst_translate_stream3: Assertion `eol_str || keywords' failed.
process killed by signal 6
}}}

It looks like a problem in the svn code for keyword expansion.

== [svn] unreliable server ==

The current svn import code makes many connections and does not retry when one fails. If the server is in the least unreliable (one failure every few thousand attempts to create a session) that will cause the import to fail.

See [[https://launchpad.net/bugs/120992|bug 120992]] (use persistent svn_ra sessions and reconnect on failure).

It could be that some of these failures are caused by another specific bug. From a discussion with Jelmer:

{{{
> > >    * Don't rely on listdir() kind results. Fixes imports of several
> > >      repositories. (#56647)
> > I'm curious about this bug. Can you tell me more?
> It turned out that the .kind member of dirents returned by
> svn.ra.get_dir2() is (semi-?)random when used against older Subversion
> servers. It would occasionally be 1 (svn.core.svn_node_file) even though
> the entry in question was a directory. This took me a while to track
> down. Instead, I've switched to always trying to open something as a
> directory and catching the appropriate exception that indicates it's a
> file.

That's very interesting. A number of Launchpad imports fail in a not-deterministic way with "failed REPORT". Currently I just classify those failures as "unreliable server", but I was puzzled by a pattern I noticed: the failures did not happen in a really random way.

It might be the same bug.

The import system will kill any job that does produce output for "a long time" (4 hours, at time of writing, on <<Date(2007-02-15T17:32:46Z)>>). So if, for some reason, an import does not report progress for a long time, either because it is stuck or because it is ''really slow'', it will fail.

== Failed to fork, memory error ==

Some large imports fail to os.fork() (when spawning gpg to sign a revision) with "OSError: [Errno 12] Cannot allocate memory". It's not clear why that happen, since Linux should overcommit memory up to 50x (the value of /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_ratio) and allow large processes like cscvs to spawn small processes like gpg.

The programmatic API for adding files to a tree has different expectations than the user friendly API the command line uses ([[https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/132639|bug 132639]]).  Depending on how this bug gets resolved, the following import could be retried after it is fixed.
