[clo-devel] Resigning as c-l.net administrator
by Hans Hübner 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

Hi folks, I have decided that after a few years, I do no longer want to be operating common-lisp.net - It was fun, but it is time to move on. I have been dealing with mailman administration (handling bounces, occasional password changes, list creation), and with user and project administration. I will be responding to RT requests until the end of this year. Afterwards, I won't do it anymore. I'll also revoke my own root access. If anyone reading this wants to seize responsibility and get some guidance from me, let me know. Cheers, Hans

Hello, I'm writing with a question and request. I've spotted a bug on wiki of cl-weblocks (its hosted on trac.common-lisp.net) - in order to modify it and correct, I do need trac.common-lisp.net account? If yes, how to acquire it?

First trial migrating mailing list archives back in place
by Erik Huelsmann 29 Mar '15

29 Mar '15

Hi all, Migrating the old mailing list archives back in place will be a multi-step plan. I've copied over the archives of the mailman lists which don't have an active list. Please check out the test-outcome here: https://mailman-test.common-lisp.net/pipermail/ Any review and comments highly appreciated. Please do note that the archives of active lists need to be merged, something to be addressed in a later step. The same applies to the mmjlm archives: they still have to be merged with the mailman archives. This will happen later. -- Bye, Erik. http://efficito.com -- Hosted accounting and ERP.

GitLab migration and Go-Live
by Erik Huelsmann 28 Mar '15

28 Mar '15

Progress of the GitLab installation and migration scripts has been very good. With some last tests to go, we're confident we can complete installation and migration on *Friday March 20th, 2015. The window 08:00h - 12:00h UTC* has been designated to perform installation and migration. During that window *existing git repositories with public visibility* (i.e. http or gitweb access -- git:// access not counted) will be migrated into GitLab [0]. There's no impact on Subversion, CVS, mercurial, darcs or bazaar repositories. Users with git repositories without http or gitweb access, who want to use GitLab for their project are kindly requested to contact the site admins. After the migration, *migrated repositories will be removed from their current physical path locations*. Repositories will *only* be accessible through GitLab and stored in a location managed by GitLab. Users who want to make backups should do so by keeping a local clone of their git repository(-ies). As part of the migration, *GitLab accounts will be created for all users* of the common-lisp.net system. Each user with a .forward file in their home directory on the system will receive an account confirmation e-mail. This confirmation request is valid for 48 hours. *All accounts must be confirmed before use* - the system blocks accounts until confirmed. Your account can be used immediately after confirmation, even during the migration window. As part of the migration, SSH keys found in the user's home directory will be imported into the user's GitLab account. You will receive an e-mail to confirm this happened. As part of the migration, *Gitlab groups will be created*, mirroring the common-lisp.net "project" concept. Users currently part of a project by virtue of being member of a unix group on common-lisp.net will be assigned GitLab group membership for the mirror group in the role of Owner. Notification mails are sent out due to the migration process. Projects that wish to use GitLab's more fine-grained permisssions[1] can do so after migration completes. As part of the migration, *existing git repositories will be imported into GitLab* under the group or account which mirrors the common-lisp.net project or account. All repositories will have a *public* visibility. Each repository on common-lisp.net becomes a *project* in GitLab. This means each repository gets an issue tracker and wiki set up. Any project that wishes not to use those can turn those off in the Settings page for the GitLab project after the migration. Due to the nature of the migration process, *the Administrator account will be a member of all GitLab projects and groups.* This can be corrected after the migration. After the migration, gitweb access won't be available anymore. It will be replaced by URL redirection to GitLab. git:// protocol support won't be available anymore either. While the migration is in progress, SSH access to the system will be blocked to prevent repositories being updated while migrated. Should you want to start a new project in GitLab, please ask the site admins to create a group for it. Please note that this is just one of the steps in the restructuring plan for common-lisp.net. Further steps as indicated in [2] will be executed later and will affect repositories for other version control systems as well as other services. In case of questions please follow up to clo-devel(a)common-lisp.net: the announcements mailing list is closed for posting.

Viewing cmucl src/lisp is really, really slow
by Raymond Toy 27 Mar '15

27 Mar '15

Not sure what's going on, but when I visit https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/cmucl/cmucl/tree/master/src/lisp to see the current changes, the "Loading commit data" just spins and spins for at least a minute. It still hasn't loaded any commit data yet. In fact most subdirectories from the top of the tree are really slow. Not a big deal, but thought it might be important to mention this. -- Ray

Re: Timing upgrade to GitLab 7.9

Even though the release blog mentions their content with the size of the release, I'm usually a bit weary when it comes to big releases, so, I'm also weary to install a .0 release. However, GitLab never seems to make it into the high patch release numbers. > > The reason I'd like to have the 7.9 release on common-lisp.net soon is: > > - Allow admins to override restricted project visibility settings > > Which means I can put /custom and the site in private repositories which seems to suit people best. > > Before I install it on the site, I want to be sure to run a test install (or two) on the secondary VM. This may or may not overlap with your work on Trac. Could you let me know of a suitable time to test this upgrade? I have no constraints on deployment: do when it suits you. trac-1.0.4 builds and installs fine, but that can be done as a live upgrade whenever we’re ready. The real problem is finding an OAuth 2 implementation, to enable OpenID Connect. I’m still working on the OAuth story. -- "A screaming comes across the sky.

Error 500 getting blame info
by Raymond Toy 26 Mar '15

26 Mar '15

For kicks, I just tried to get some blame info for https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/cmucl/cmucl/blame/master/src/assembly/sparc/… by clicking on the blame button. I get error 500 that something (unspecified) went wrong. This happens for all the files I've tried. Pressing the History button works, though. -- Ray

mailman list info links, and archives
by Anton Vodonosov 24 Mar '15

24 Mar '15

Hi, Home pages of many projects have links to their mailing lists information page like https://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cl-plus-ssl-devel Currently the links in this form are broken. Probably it makes sense to map such URLs to the current location: https://mailman.common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cl-plus-ssl-devel Also, the archives only include messages since April 2014. As far as I know the archives from the old incarnation of common-lisp.net still exist. It would be nice to restore them. (It's a reminder, I suppose cl.net admins are aware about the archives problem) Best regards, - Anton

GitLab migration and existing links to source code
by Anton Vodonosov 24 Mar '15

24 Mar '15

Hi At the https://common-lisp.net/project/cl-stm/ there is a link "Browse the latest source code". It refers to https://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/darcsweb/darcsweb.cgi?r=cl-stm-cl-stm%3ba=s… As I understand, darcs repos were migrated to GitLab. Maybe it makes sense to map the old URLs to the corresponding GitLab URls? Best regards, - Anton

Mailman moderation notices
by Stelian Ionescu 23 Mar '15

23 Mar '15

I've recently been receiving these messages saying "Notice: 1 old request(s) automatically expired", which weren't sent previously. Can you disable them globally ? They're not helpful at all. -- Stelian Ionescu a.k.a. fe[nl]ix Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum videtur. http://common-lisp.net/project/iolib
