I’ve just got an answer concerning the costs for getting the repository dump. And fortunately it is for free ;D ;D ;D
Here is the mail quote:
I guess we still want to migrate to sourceforge. So I’ll ask Padma for the dumps. As you can read I need a second person for both projects. Amos and Will, could you please mail me your contact information? I don’t know if Amos or me are enough for the core project so we need Will for this. But for the toolkit Amos and me should be enough.
When I have the contact info I’ll post a new time frame, when the migration will be done.
Any further questions?

PS: I guess, instead of binary files we don’t have any non ascii files in the projects. Am I right?
As far as I know there are no non-ASCII characters in the repositories, so that should be fine.
When the new one is setup, ideally you want the standard (but not enforced) “trunk” and “branches” SVN layout so that you can easily branch the code for releases/stable versions.
I’ve emailed you my phone number (in case you didn’t already have it).
I’ve just (and finally) got an answer from Padma on dev.java.net about the CVS dump. I’ll do the migration to sourceforge on sunday 14:00 (GMT+1). I’ll also migrate all changes committed to CVS up to this time even if they’re not contained in the CVS dump.
For anyone interested in checking the dumps they’re here:
I plan also to continue with SVN under “yvg” nick.

P.S. BTW, I am still not convinced that migration to org.xith3d is a good idea because of now there are some naming conflicts between xith3d core and xith-tk AFAICS.
I granted you dev-access to core and tk on sourceforge.net :).
Where do you see the nameing conflicts? The only ones I know are in com/org.xith3d.picking, which won’t be a problem. The package naming “conflicts” are wanted.
In case of big problems of package/class naming, there will be a bit more of refactoring… but users “ne seront plus à ça près” (=won’t mind cause they will have already done refactoring with the com->org change).
The sourceforge migration is in progress. When the sourceforge server is ready, we can use the repositories. I’ll post here, when it’s done and I have migrated the changes made after 2006-10-23 (dump-date).
I’ve also done the com.xith3d. -> org.xith3d. change. A simple text-replace (“com.xith3d.” -> “org.xith3d.”) will do the trick, if you want to port your project.

EDIT: Please doublecheck if I didn’t make a mistake and everything is fine.
I’ve had some trouble with it, when I installed it on my brother’s computer the same day you encountered the problems. But it was only a question of a very long waiting time. Finally it worked.
