The Eigen project has encountered technical issues with the main repository. A few days ago, the source code hosted on the GitLab site became inaccessible. Accessing the page results in a 'No repository' error. The releases hosted on the page are also unavailable. Discussion participants note that the prolonged unavailability of Eigen has already disrupted the build and continuous testing of many projects, including the Google TensorFlow library.
Currently, there is no clarity regarding the timeline for restoring the repository and the reasons for the failure. The closure of the repository may be related to the actions of the actor rmlarsen1, which is recorded in the project activity log. Meanwhile, the developers indicate that a corresponding request has been sent to GitLab support.
Eigen is a popular open-source cross-platform implementation of basic linear algebra operations. Unlike classical systems, Eigen offers the possibility of additional optimizations and metacompilation of specialized code for specific algebraic expressions, as well as GPU support.
