[eclipse.org-committers] Webmaster update: SubVersion repositories, server upgrades
|
Greetings,
In this issue:
0. More servers, bandwidth
1. Subversion repositories
2. Server upgrades
3. MySQL database problems solved
4. Disk space quotas are back for downloads
0. More servers, bandwidth
==========================
On the cross-project-issues mailing list, some folks had pointed out a
response time degradation to our servers. We jumped into action:
We'll be adding 10 Mbps of bandwidth shortly. This will bring our
permanent bandwidth up to 70 Mbps and should help solve some bottlenecks
that occur on specific days where everyone seems to pump out a new build.
Furthermore, we have purchased 'node5', a fifth front-end node server
for the eclipse.org cluster. You can read all about it on my blog:
http://eclipsewebmaster.blogspot.com/2006/12/node5-has-arrived.html
1. Subversion repositories
==========================
As per https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=131096 we now offer
projects the opportunity to use SubVersion (SVN) as their version
control tool for source code.
Although we will help you migrate from CVS to SubVersion, for
simplicity's sake, we won't allow you to maintain code in both CVS and
SVN, so please pick whichever tool is best for your project. Do note
that CVS is not deprecated in any way; migrating to SVN is entirely
optional and we will support both systems. Also, our website repository
(/cvsroot/org.eclipse) will remain in CVS.
If you wish to migrate your project to SVN, please have your Project
Lead/PMC contact us and we'll work with you to get this done.
2. Server upgrades
==================
Friday we will be upgrading our last server to SLES 10. It is our
secondary backend server, so there will be no impact on any service
whatsoever.
However, we will need to resync our master and slave database servers to
be able to use the full power of two DB servers, so most database
services will be disabled and/or read-only Sunday, Dec. 17 from 6:00am
ET to 8:00am ET.
After this resync, the bugzilla database will be moved back to its much
faster Power box. The current (temporary) server has been struggling
with Bugzilla load at times, but was necessary as we were having
problems with our main DB servers.
Once the upgrades are complete, we expect to return to our pre-october
levels of system stability and reliability. We thank you for your
patience - it wasn't an easy upgrade, but it was necessary, and
relatively painless.
3. MySQL database problems solved
=================================
Early last week we reported having stability problems with our MySQL 5
DB servers. The problem has been solved thanks to some friendly
knowledgeable people at IBM. The problem was not MySQL or PPC related,
but rather a problem with the way our MySQL 4 installation was upgraded
to MySQL 5.
After we resync our master and slave database servers this weekend,
Bugzilla will return to being much more responsive than it has been in
past months, and the live download stats will be re-enabled once again.
4. Disk space quotas are back for downloads
===========================================
As of early last week, those nasty disk space quotas have returned for
download.eclipse.org content. They had been disabled in March when we
had a stability issue with them.
If you receive disk quota notices, please work with us to clean up files
and to move archived releases to archive.eclipse.org. We will increase
quotas as required, once we're satisfied that the house is clean.
Do note that disk quotas are only enforced on download.eclipse.org
content; there are no quotas whatsoever for source code in CVS/SVN.
As always, thanks for reading this. We hope that these e-mails contain
useful information for you.
Denis
