[eclipse-dev] dev.eclipse.org Migration - Latest issues and status

["Eclipse Webmaster (Denis Roy)" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings,

I just wanted to give you a quick update on the status of the recent 
migration issues.

Issue 1: Some committers lost committer rights on some plugins

I am experiencing a Twilight Zone issue where, although committers are 
in the right group, they cannot commit. This seems to be limited to 
accessing the files from Eclipse; when accessing the files using the 
local shell or with command-line CVS, files are accessible as expected. 
I tried downgrading CVS to an older version, but that didn't work. This 
is my #1 priority, as it severely impacts your work day.


Issue 2: pServer CVS is slow

Yesterday I was troubleshooting an issue with the Platform Releng team 
where the servers somehow delaying connection times to pserver CVS. 
Since then, somehow the problem seems to have gone away, but I'm keeping 
an eye open. I have requested the priority bandwidth pool for developers 
(including CVS, bugzilla and e-mail) be increased, so this should 
certainly help.


Issue 3: (Bugzilla|CVS|Server X) is unusably slow / Webmaster is dumb

Connections to every eclipse.org service (except for the newsgroups) are 
currently load-balanced across four servers, meaning if Bugzilla is 
unusably slow, the rest of the eclipse.org services should be unusable 
as well. When experiencing "unusably slow" conditions, please test the 
following before sending me an e-mail:

- note the time of day.
- try accessing the following page:
http://download.eclipse.org/arch/id.php and tell me what IP address 
you've reached for your connection
- see how long it takes to get the mirror list web page by clicking the 
prominent "Eclipse SDK 3.0.2" link on the download page. Don't download 
it, just see how fast you get the mirror list page.


I know these issues are frustrating to deal with on your end, and I'm 
working hard to resolve them as quickly as I can. Thanks for your 
understanding and cooperation.

Denis
