It seems to me that patch-tag refuses to create a public repository
once I've deleted one of my repos. Here's exactly what happened to me
(alex-shpilkin on patch-tag):
# I screwed up patches a bit (the repo wasn't valid for darcs after
that, in fact) and wanted to recreate a repository from a local copy.
So:
delete repo 'turing' from the web interface
# No error reported.
# Waited for almost no time, about ten seconds or so, then
create repo 'turing' from the web interface, with metainfo identical
to the deleted repository
# Waited for one or two hours for the repository to appear in the list
(it didn't), then
create repo 'turing' again, with the same name but with different
description this time
# Waited for another two hours; again no reaction. At last,
create repo 'tmachine'
# No reaction again in about 10 minutes, so
post to the mailing list.
There's now no traces of the operations on patch-tag.com/reposstarted
for me now.
Is this a persistent issue or did was the system screwed up
temporarily? (Again, no traces of any of the operations now.) Have I
missed an existiing issue?
This should bring the repo back, I believe, modulo repo members (which you will have to recreate)
Sorry about this recurring problem. I would really like to clear this up for once and all, but time is tight on day gig and I just haven't been able to.

Thank you, Thomas. I'm sorry it took so long for me to answer.
The short answer is "That didn't fix it". The long answer is (quote from the page I get for the URL you have given):
> Happstack 0.5.0.2
> Something went wrong here > Internal server error > Everything has stopped
> The error was "repo not found"
That is, it reacts just as it would for any other nonexistent repository (the error message could be improved though).
There's still no mention of neither "turing" nor "tmachine" on /reposstarted or anywhere else, while (as I've already said) I've tried to create both. That makes me think that the webapp refuses to create any repository for me, which is strange.
I haven't attempted to perform any other operations in the meantime.

I was able (after alex gave me password privately) to fix this, while logged in as alex, by doing a create repo action with repo name turing.
Presumably this will work for repo tmachine as well but I'll let alex test that.
As alex says, the "just click on this url while logged in as alex" solution I proposed earlier did not work.
I believe this would have worked if a repo existed on file system but not in macid.
However, in this case, just the turing directory existed on fs, without apparently any _darcs files or any contents. (Contents should still be in backup though alex, in the unlikely case that you need this. My understanding is you deleted these repos intentionally.)
So, I would say the current situation, while ugly, is still functional enough that I won't take further action other than maybe improve the troubleshooting docu.
