The following will affect all projects hosted in Alioth and svn.debian.org, including D-I. The D-I notification mini-robot might send inaccurate mails on next Friday. ----- Forwarded message from Raphael Hertzog <hertzog@debian.org> ----- Date: Mon, 23 Oct 2006 18:25:19 +0200 From: Raphael Hertzog <hertzog@debian.org> To: debian-devel-announce@lists.debian.org Subject: Downtime: Hardware upgrade of Alioth and related services X-Mailing-List: <debian-devel-announce@lists.debian.org> X-CRM114-Status: Good ( pR: 15.6821 ) Hello, alioth.debian.org and its related services (svn|bzr|git|arch).debian.org will be stopped on Friday 27th october at 15:00 UTC. Soon after we will do the final rsync between the current hosts (costa.d.o, haydn.d.o) and the new one (a Xen host on wagner.debian.org featuring 1TB of disk, 16GB of RAM and a bi-opteron). The rsync process will last around 4 hours. After that we will upgrade the Gforge to version 4.5. If all goes well, the services should be available again at 22:00 UTC. Since the upgrade merges two hosts in a single one, some special treatment will be made for home directories and crontab of costa: - if you had a non-empty home directory on costa, you will have a symlink "COSTA_home" in your new home directory pointing to a copy of your old home directory. Please move any data from that directory into your real home directory. - if you had a crontab on costa, you will have a file "COSTA_crontab" in your home directory and if needed you can install the crontab in the current crontab (which effectively is a copy of haydn's crontab). In the process of migrating, we documented many known customizations that had been made on alioth's setup, but it's possible that we forgot some. It's quite possible that some packages will be missing. If you were using a non-standard theme, you'll be disappointed to learn that most themes have not been ported to gforge 4.5 and that you'll only have the default theme. Once the migration is over, please report any problem to admin@alioth.debian.org or #alioth on irc.debian.org.
