Some plugins aren't being mirrored

[jowrjowr]

Take this plugin for example: http://www.pluginmirror.com/plugins/wp-post-date-remover

The plugin is still hosted and functional. A github link is even created for it, but it hasn't been cloned.

We just re-added this to the queue and it is currently about 10th in line. Please let me know if it is not updated within the next hour or so.

Just a quick update. It is still in the queue but it is working its way to the top.

[jowrjowr]

Looks like the repo was created, but nothing got put in it.

Think it could be because there's nothing in trunk because there's a
release in the tag tree?

There's a reason I prefer git when it comes to pulling plugins. This
service is a godsend for keeping wordpress plugins updated. Thanks for the
help thus far.

http://www.pluginmirror.com/plugins/wordpress-importer also empty. We were just looking at this at The Loop stackexchange WP chatroom today.

Exactly, when this reached the top of the queue and was mirrored there was no content in the trunk directory so nothing was copied over.

See I came into this ass-backwards.

My use case is basically an infrastructure that maintains a large amount of
Wordpress blogs. Current count is about 175.

The only way to handle this in a sane fashion is some value of
configuration management. I use puppet (with some serious magic) to deploy
Wordpress sites, and to keep themes and plugins updated.

I came to discover, without knowing about the pluginmirror project, that
all the wordpress plugins were being mirrored on github. Which rules,
because subversion really sucks to clone against with puppet.

This is the only real outlier. I might just have to shove it into one of my
static content repos because it hasn't changed for ages (though it works
fine).

Hello @MikeHansenMe ! Same issue here. It seems repositories are, at some points, automatically emptied. It happened to me lastly with https://github.com/wp-plugins/google-sitemap-generator Though, it wasn't when I added it as a submodule couple days ago.
Is there a way to avoid this ? Thx

[MikeHansenMe]

Hi @xavismeh thanks for letting us know. We just cloned this. It should all be available now.

[MikeHansenMe]

For future comments, before mentioning your plugin here. Let's check over at pluginmirror.com that it has been cloned. If not click clone, then let us know if it is not cloned after a few hours.

This one is also empty: http://pluginmirror.com/plugins/events-manager https://github.com/wp-plugins/events-manager/

[jowrjowr]

My confusion is mostly that this was working in the past, at least with the
plugin I complained about.

Then it looks like the entire github repo got wiped, and things started
getting put back in.

But subversion repos with a tagged release but not a trunk release are no
longer making the cut.

@mitar thanks for letting us know. We will get it in the queue today.

@jowrjowr You are correct, the whole repo was deleted and we are still working to get everything restored. Currently there are around 500 plugins that the mirror thinks are already mirrored however they are not. The only way for us to get these ones pushed is manually. If you have another plugin that is not showing please leave a link here and we will get it added.

[jowrjowr]

That's the only one that I've personally found to be an issue, however
would it be possible to treat the internationalization repo as a wordpress
plugin as well?

http://i18n.svn.wordpress.org/

Keeping this updated on the client side is a massive nuisance because of
its' size, and it is really important for non-english blogs.

Hello @MikeHansenMe
I'm here to bring the bad news ! Here are some more plugins that have empty repository on Github :
intensedebate
multi-varnish-http-purge
permalink-finder
stats
wp-db-driver
wpmandrill
wp-polls
yet-another-related-posts-plugin

Thanks

[MikeHansenMe]

Thanks @xavismeh, I appreciate your effort here. We wil get them queued.

@jowrjowr Currently the Plugin Mirror cannot do other repos but it is something we could look into.
