Coordination and time zones
     posted by Beuc, Fri 20 Nov 2009 11:29:57 PM UTC - 1 reply

We just experimented with the nice pytz/python-tz library, to display the local time in all time zones:
http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/tz.cgi

What do you think? Do you know about tools that would help people with setting up a meeting time when working from different countries? Probably a good thing to add to Savannah :)

CVS/SVN/Git/Hg reverted to ~12h ago
     posted by Beuc, Wed 21 Oct 2009 08:23:30 AM UTC - 3 replies

We moved these services to a new hardware, but within around 1 hour, there was a filesystem error, making everything read-only.

We moved back these services to their old hardware, and are now investigating.

Instant replication from web front-end to system
     posted by Beuc, Sat 08 Aug 2009 06:48:55 PM UTC - 0 replies

We changed the way users and groups are replicated on the system (where they are used for SSH access): now the system can query the database directly. This means most account operations will be immediately effective (group memberships), while others will only have a 5-minutes delay (ssh keys updates). ...

Removing old user accounts with no past activity
     posted by Beuc, Thu 30 Jul 2009 01:06:03 PM UTC - 11 replies

We're currently working on a new web front-end that will be easier to improve and maintain.

When working on data migration we saw that more than 1/2 user accounts are inactive, that is, they registered more than one year ago, they didn't submit ...

Savannah now runs on Debian Lenny
     posted by Beuc, Tue 03 Mar 2009 09:22:44 PM UTC - 6 replies

The whole Savannah infrastructure has now switched from Debian Etch (4.0) to Debian Lenny (5.0). Thanks to the VServer technology, we could upgrade each part independently over a few days with only a few minutes of downtime.

Mail issues
     posted by Beuc, Tue 13 Jan 2009 09:27:20 AM UTC - 0 replies

Due to a recent change in the GNU mail system, some of the mails could not be delivered between the 7th and the 12th. This is now fixed and handled differently so that the savannah and gnu mails won't lost sync again.
Commit notifications sent to lists.gnu.org in that interval were lost.
Trackers notifications could be recovered and have been reinjected in the mail system - you should be receiving them.

Please report slow mirrors
     posted by Beuc, Mon 12 Jan 2009 06:41:11 AM UTC - 1 reply

Let us know if one of the download mirrors is slow!

Our tools allow us to check if a mirror is up-to-date, but can't check if it has bandwidth issues. We'll retire slow mirrors and contact their maintainers to see if this can be improved.
