[Qemu-devel] FYI, cgit is temporarily disabled on qemu.org

[Anthony Liguori]

We've been having problems on qemu.org all day.  Initially, it was due 
to a combination of a small DoS attack (not uncommon unfortunately).

Later, the issue was observed when a crawler that was ignoring 
robots.txt started indexing git.qemu.org.  We use cgit because of the 
fact that it does aggressive caching but it also seems to frequently 
SEGV leaving stale lock files.  This is causing all pages to be 
dynamically generated which is an extremely slow path with cgit.

For now, I've disabled cgit until I can try a newer version.  This only 
affects the web interface.  Pulling and pushing via the git:// or ssh:// 
will continue to work.
