Savannah upgrade

Item posted by Sylvain Beucler <Beuc> on Tue 09 Aug 2005 12:01:09 AM UTC.

We upgraded some parts of the Savannah system.

Currently we have a few issues with the file uploading system and ViewCVS. We'll make sure to fix those asap. Check this news item's comments for updates :)

Proprietary versions of SSH (posted by Sylvain Beucler, Thu 18 Aug 2005 05:44:59 PM UTC)

We upgraded our SSH server and it caused issues in various clients. We tried to make it as compatible as we could but we can't do better AFAICS.

Note that the OpenSSH free software client works and is freely
available, so I don't see any reason not to switch to it :)

Also, some user reported that a proprietary version didn't have password authentication enabled. You might want to enable that.

Hopefully we'll restablish pserver in the future; we're trying to improve our security model to gain more flexibility.

viewcvs (posted by Michael J. Flickinger, Tue 09 Aug 2005 01:53:50 AM UTC)

viewcvs is fixed.

RE: viewcvs (posted by Sylvain Beucler, Wed 10 Aug 2005 12:11:15 AM UTC)

The file uploading system was actually fine, only the GPG keys synchronization was down, and this is fixed now :)

RE: viewcvs (posted by Laurence Finston, Wed 10 Aug 2005 01:03:38 PM UTC)

It's not working for me. I can check out, but I can't commit.

[...]
cvs commit: Examining Group/GRAPHPAP/LOGS
cvs commit: Examining Group/LOGS
cvs commit: Examining Group/MANGA
cvs commit: Examining Group/MANGA/RSTRFILM
cvs commit: Examining Group/SNAPSHOTS

and it gets stuck here until the connection is timed out.
This happens for both source code and web pages.

This is the error message:

savannah.gnu.org: Connection timed out
cvs [commit aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)

Commit? (posted by Sylvain Beucler, Wed 10 Aug 2005 11:47:05 PM UTC)

Works For Me (TM)

I impersonated you and created a test dir, then added a file in it. Can you try again, I changed something else in the configuration file for https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?func=detailitem&item_id=104539

RE: Commit? (posted by Laurence Finston, Thu 11 Aug 2005 09:50:11 AM UTC)

Now I got this error message:

savannah.gnu.org: Protocol not available
cvs [commit aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)

I actually had this before, on the day before I got the "timeout" one.

Thanks for your help.

I've also gotten an error message in my browser (Mozilla Firebird 0.7) when I've submitted comments. In this case, the comments were submitted. Several of comments didn't arrive at all, even though I didn't get an error message. That's why I can't reproduce it here: the comments containing it have disappeared into the ether. Something about "fatal error" and a PHP file.

In Opera 7.54 I got an error message about "double posting".
Changed the subject to see if this will work. If this is the problem, perhaps it would work in Mozilla, too. However, I don't think it should be failing silently.

Okay, it worked, but I got this error message (Opera 7.54). It looks familiar, I'm pretty sure it's the same one:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: trackers_get_msgid() in /frontend/php/include/sendmail.php on line 99

The forum error is around for a little while now, it's a reported issue at project Savane. I think this prevents forum tracking, but not messaging posting.

About "protocol not available", this most likely means you didn't export CVS_RSH=ssh

We chose to send this ICMP message instead of dropping paquets when people attempt to rsh Savannah (that was setup a few months ago).

I just call 'em as I see 'em. I'm very glad to be able to use CVS for GNU 3DLDF, but I haven't made much use of the other features of Savannah yet.

No, I have been doing this. I just successfully committed a file in the repository for my web pages, without doing anything different from before. With a bit of luck, it will now work for source code again, too.

Thanks again.

Well, it was my fault, after all. I was forgetting to prepend a period when I called the script that exported CVS-RSH.

Sorry to put you to so much trouble, and thanks again.
