people.debian.org will move from ravel to paradis and become HTTPS only



Dear fellow developers!

We are moving people.debian.org to a new system.

The system that currently hosts people.debian.org, ravel, is roughly 9
years old and is starting to show its age.

The replacement system, paradis [1], has been set up and we've started
copying your home directories from ravel.

The plan is to execute a final sync of home directories on 2014-JUL-26
starting at 0800Z.  We will disable all cronjobs on ravel immediately
before the sync and copy your crontab files to paradis.  We will not
install them however; please re-enable your crontab yourself once you
have verified it is still useful, needed, and works.  The host
paradis.debian.org will stay locked until that date.  We will send
another mail once the final sync has finished on July 26th.

After the final sync, we plan to keep ravel.debian.org accessible for
two weeks, just in case.  Obviously, new files created or modified after
that date will not be transferred to paradis before shutdown.

Furthermore, we will change the people.debian.org web-service such that
only HTTPS connections will be supported (unencrypted requests will be
redirected).

The two other services on ravel, ssh.upload.debian.org and the ssh
server listening on port 443, will move as well.  The details are still
being fleshed out, however.  The ssh upload service will probably move
to coccia, and the ssh service might move to an additional IP address
(and hostname) on paradis.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Debian
System Administration team at debian-admin@lists.debian.org.

We would like to thank UBC Electrical and Computer Engineering for
generously hosting ravel.debian.org for the past 6 years [2] and Hewlett
Packard for having donated it 9 years ago.  We would also like to thank
Bytemark Hosting for providing us with the resources for
paradis.debian.org.
