Re: Generation change in the ftpmaster team?

[Holger Levsen <holger@layer-acht.org>]

Hi,

as a starting point, you (who are interested in joining ftpmasters) could do a 
dak installation from gid source on some test machine / VM of yours. We run a 
really outdated version on a.skolelinux.no with lots of python deprecation 
warnings, and upgrading to latest git (or rather what runs as stable on ftp-
master.debian.org) would solve these problems. But this will come with updated 
database schemas, so you should be familar (or willing to become so) with 
postgresql.

Doing a test install of dak is a good first exersize before (even thinking 
about) messing with our real archive, I think. :-)

And yes, upgrading dak is probably not easy, but switching the archive 
software IMO will cause more+longer breakage, so I'd prefer to upgrade dak.


cheers,
