Gitlab not working

Hi, I just wanted to ask if you have any updates regarding the https://sissource.ethz.ch Gitlab. It has been down for a few weeks already, and it is not possible to compile the source code without the ivy repository.

Hello @deiwo , we had some issues with DDoS style attacks on our Gitlab and therefore closed access from the internet. This has now been resolved (hopefully) and you should be able to access https://sissource.ethz.ch/ again.

Dear @deiwo,
how do you normally compile the source code with the ivy repository?
I wonder a bit what does the “it is not possible to compile the source code without the ivy repository”.

Git seems to be a distributed version control system and that was main point of Linus Torvalds in 2005 to have every developer a complete local copy of the entire repository history, including all branches and commits. Unlike centralized systems that rely on a single server for operations, Git allows developers to commit, branch, and merge locally without requiring network access or communication with a central hub.

So, I would expect, during the unavailability of remote (sissource) you would not have recent commits and recent changes from other developers but I would expect you have local checkout so should not break any compilation workflows.

Regards,
Artur
