Dear all,
I want to register a new project on common-lisp.net. Alas,it appears that the address <admin [to] common-lisp.net> is non functional.
Incidentally, how is git support working at this point?
All the best

Git seems to be working fine for me. I haven't had any issues with cmucl or my other repos.

Yes. My old repositories work fine. However, I do not quite understand how to set up push/pull locations.

For MKCL I have my main Git repository on github.com and I run a clone of it on common-lisp.net as a mirror. The MKCL page on common-lisp.net mentions that mirror repository and has a link to browse it through gitweb (I like the look of gitweb better than the github equivalent, that is probably the only advantage of having a repository on common-lisp.net beside some level of redundancy.)
There used to be a cron job on common-lisp.net that would synchronize automatically the local mirror repository against its "origin" every 4 hours if setup right but that has been broken since April 23, 2013 (I presume this is a consequence the power outage crash the common-lisp.netmachine experienced around that time.)
I sent an email to this list on that very subject last May 23 (I copied it here below) but it has been ignored to this day. In the meantime I worked/hacked out a private version of the cron script and I get my local repository synchronized with it every now and then, triggering it manually.
Cheers,

--------------------------------------------- Updating of GIT repositories mirrored on common-lisp.net is broken Jean-Claude Beaudoin jean.claude.beaudoin@gmail.com
May 23, 2013
to clo-devel For projects that mirror their GIT repositories on common-lisp.net it looks very much like the automatic (cron based) updating has been broken since last April, 23.
I think the problem comes from a stale lock file named cron.root.update-git-mirrors.run in directory /custom/run. Could someone with root access remove that stale lock and assure that the updating script can then run properly?
Thanks,
