Hello, due to an unfortunate mistake we lost our gforge database this morning. As usual in those situations, you just discover that the daily dump you expected is no more generated since the last hardware migration. :-| So I restored an old backup dating back to the 29th of october (when we migrated to the new host). We still had some dumps of user accounts and groups, so I wrote some scripts to integrate those data in the gforge database. So we all have all projects and all users which had an unix account as of yesterday. What is definitely lost however is the changes done to trackers/forums/surveys during that period and in general anything that is gforge-specific. We're really sorry for that, you can be sure we'll take required measures for the future. Concerning all accounts which were created since the migration -------------------------------------------------------------- See list in [1]. Your unix (SSH) account still works with your password. However your web password is disabled and your entry doesn't have any email associated to it. So you can't use the "lost password" feature. We also lost any SSH keys you had registered and all other preferences you had. If you want to recover your account, please use the SSH access to login and create a file in your home directory with your email. $ ssh account-guest@alioth.debian.org [...] account-guest@alioth:~$ echo "my.email@myisp.com" >my-email account-guest@alioth:~$ chmod 600 my-email account-guest@alioth:~$ exit Then mail admin@alioth.debian.org and ask us to reconfigure the account with the email indicated in that file. Once it's done, you'll be able to use the "lost password" feature and reconfigure your account. Note that DD account (without -guest suffix) have been reconfigured with their @debian.org email, so please directly use the "lost password" feature to recover a password and reconfigure your account. Concerning all projects which were approved since the migration --------------------------------------------------------------- See list in [2]. They have been recreated and users have been readded (although some of them they might have lost their admin role), but in general most of your gforge configuration is lost. The mailing lists are still there however. Please reconfigure your project (including user's rights) and check everything. If you have weirdness to fix, please get in touch with us. Concerning all other projects ----------------------------- All users which have been added since the last migration have been readded with the role "Junior Developer". Users which were removed have been removed too. In most cases, this is ok but for accounts which have been promoted to "Admin" in that period, it means you have lost your admin rights. Get in touch with the old admins to fix this. All other changes that you might have done to trackers/surveys/forums/news are also gone. Please redo them if they were important for you (for example changing rights of the observer role to restrict posting to trackers/forums). Contact ------- If you have weirdness to fix, or if you have more questions, please join #alioth on irc.debian.org or ask directly admin@alioth.debian.org. Thanks for your support!
