Is anyone else actually able to view the PDFs via the links to svn.savannah.gnu.org ?
I have tried occasionally over the past few days and every time I get a 503 page: --- 503 Service Unavailable The service is unavailable. This is due to the high rate of AI scraping proxies which are overwhelming the system. When this happens the backend processes are unable to keep up and timeout resulting in a failed backend gateway operation which is reported as a Service Unavailable failure. Your address is not blocked if you are seeing this message because if you were blocked then you would only see a timeout from the server. Since you are getting this response then you know you are connecting and therefore your address is not blocked. You may contact us to discuss this on IRC #fsfsys on the Libera.Chat IRC network. You may contact us to discuss on email to <[email protected]>. --- Do the URLs need to be whitelisted with the admins there, or am I just effectively geo-blocked due to AI bots in my area spamming the site? -Russ On Fri, Oct 2, 2026 at 9:00 AM <[email protected]> wrote: > > Send Bug-apl mailing list submissions to > [email protected] > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-apl > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > [email protected] > > You can reach the person managing the list at > [email protected] > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Bug-apl digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
