Deprecated - Drupal.org infrastructure

What is the reason for the slowness on the Drupal web site?

If the limitation is the cost of using/maintaining a dedicated server on a good machine with enough RAM -- can't we pass the hat to make this happen?

This community is large and growing. Drupal is awesome. It's also complex and the vitality of these forums and the web site is absolutely critical in order to make working with Drupal fun.

It also is not a good promotion for Drupal when its flagship site runs so slowly.

What can we do?

Hello,

I'm currently working on a module which integrates WYMeditor (a third party WYMSYM editor).

The problem is that patches are necessary for WYMeditor to work with Drupal. I provided those patches, but I'd like the installation procedure to be more "user friendly".

Thus, my question :

As the maintainer of RoleAssign I have created a new branch tagged DRUPAL-5 in the CVS. Next I tried to create a release node, but I couldn't find the "Add new release" link nor the the "Releases" heading as explained in the handbook. I have CVS access to RoleAssign. What's wrong? What can I do?

First of all I should say that the new release system looks like it will be a really useful addition to the community.

However, I have encountered an issue trying to set up a branch to allow adding a contributed patch. I suspect this is to do with how I originally set up the tags, but I cannot see how to resolve it.

Background

Before the new release system I had Tags (not Branches) for DRUPAL-4-6 and DRUPAL-4-7.

Issue

I now would like to patch 4-6. Normally with CVS, I check out the old CVS tag (DRUPAL-4-6 in this case) and branch from that. Trying to create a branch for DRUPAL-4-6--1 (I cannot use DRUPAL-4-6, and DRUPAL-4-6--2 is potentially confusing) using TortoiseCVS gives the following error:

** ERROR: invalid branch for this directory:
** contributions/modules/smsgateway
cvs rtag: Pre-tag check failed
cvs [rtag aborted]: correct the above errors first!

Trying to branch off the tag using the command-line CVS and the RTAG command gives the same error.

Attempted Resolution

Assuming that the issue is that the system expects DRUPAL-4-6 to be a branch, not a tag, I tried to create the branch DRUPAL-4-6 using the option to move the branch. This gave the following error:

** ERROR: You are not allowed to delete or move tags that have
** release nodes pointing to them. "DRUPAL-4-6" is being used by
** http://drupal.org/node/95806

Is it possible to download all the latest stable releases with the latest patches using the new system? (By "latest" I mean the ones which I haven't already got).

generally, i use firefox on my day-to-day netsurfing needs. i probably use my i nter nete xpl o rer and my opera browser just to check the compatibility of the site i am working on to these 3 major browsers.

eniweyz.....

when i tried to visit drupal.org wth the opera browser, it was almost blank, and looked weird....almost the same appearance of drupal.org when you use i nter nete xpl o rer. so does drupal.org only allow firefox? banning i nter nete xpl o rer is understandable, but why opera as well? when they try so hard to conform with the w3 standards as well.
