Re: how to handle the skolelinux apt/package archive



Hi,

for those who are to busy reading irc-backlogs, here is a discussion about the 
archive that took place today...

<stockholm> what is the result from the "dak" discussion in enkerez?
<pere> stockholm: did't some summary get posted?
<white> stockholm: holger made a list
<white> stockholm: and i think we can start with it after the release
<white> stockholm: zobel and holger are waiting but releasing first is more 
important
* pere believe we can start before the release, as long as different people 
work on the archive and the release.
* h01ger sent the protocol to the debian-edu and erkelenz mailing-list
<pere> I've installed dak on a.s.n, but the machine is not ready to go into 
production yet.  for example there is no backup yet.
<white> pere: we also need postgres i think
<h01ger> a.s.n is the new host?
<white> pere: and the idea was that the installation and configuration will be 
made here in the channel for a better documentation :)
<pere> h01ger: yes.  the intel machine.  
<URL:http://developer.skolelinux.no/machines/intel-sr2400.html>
<white> h01ger: did you request an account?
<white> for
<h01ger> white, yes. no reply yet :)
<white> h01ger: :)
<white> pere: what means a?
<white> admin.skolelinux.no ?
<pere> hm, <URL: http://developer.skolelinux.no/svnusage.html > lack an 
english version.
<stockholm> i saw the protocol, but i did not know what came out of it then
<pere> h01ger: your email didn't contain username nor passwd hash, so it is 
hard to process it.
<h01ger> pere, i also believe we could set it up before the release, but not 
before a discussion and a consens. and as i see it, nobody (except Geert) 
replied to my protocol, because "everybody" is busy with the release...
<h01ger> pere, ok, i will send you a username... i didnt send a password 
(hash) because i had no gpg-captable to:-address... - should i send this to 
you encrypted ?
<pere> h01ger: just send it unencrypted, and change it when the account is 
created.  If you like, you can send an md5 crypt instead of a des crypt.
<white> h01ger: finnarne and me talked a bit about it and when i got him right 
the problem is not that we don't want it, but that we are all right busy, if 
you and zobel want to make the job, good and with documentation it would be 
nice but i think it will go in production after the release and we need a 
small training session where we learn to handle the dak as maintainers
<pere> my idea is that we set up a parallell archive on a.s.n, and try to get 
that working before we do the real move of all the packages.
<white> pere: sounds good
<pere> getting the CD build working should not be very hard, and it is easy to 
run two CD builds in parallell on the old and the new server.
<white> pere: after some test uploads we can move the archive i think
<h01ger> white+pere, can you post this summary/opinions to the mailinglist 
please, so that finnare and everybody else has a chance to reply ?
<h01ger> paste those lines here... (into the mail) 
<pere> h01ger: I will try, but my days are just packed with real-life 
issues. :)
<pere> can someone please provide <URL: 
http://developer.skolelinux.no/svnusage.html.en >?
<h01ger> pere, known problem here as well :-/ 
<h01ger> shall i post this irc log to that thread ?
<white> h01ger: yes post it please
<pere> h01ger: go ahead, if you want. :)
* h01ger has no time, but copy+paste takes no time :) so i will do it :)


regards,
	Holger
