Proposal: project pages deployment through GitLab
by Erik Huelsmann 18 Nov '20

18 Nov '20

Hi all, As you all have noticed, I've been working to clean up common-lisp.net and simplifying the administration process. One of the things we have done is that we implemented a deployment pipeline for the common-lisp.net main site using GitLab. It's been a great joy to work with it so far and made deployment of new site content easier than ever before. *My proposal is to set up a GitLab CI based deployment pipeline* for *all common-lisp.net <http://common-lisp.net> projects*. Meaning that I'm proposing to import the current project pages (/project/*/public_html) into GitLab repositories (<project-name>-site) with a gitlab-ci file which causes the content to be published. The approach above will mean simple import of the existing static content. However, after import, the static output can be replaced by different input and a static content generator, just like we did with the common-lisp.net site. Eager to hear your thoughts, Erik.

Upgrading our host to Debian Buster
by Erik Huelsmann 25 Sep '19

25 Sep '19

Hi, It's been announced that Debian Buster will be released in the beginning of July. While there's no immediate hurry to upgrade, there's definitely one good reason to start working on an upgrade: Python 2 will be completely decommissioned in 2020 and our mailing list infrastructure runs on Mailman 2 which runs on Python 2. Debian Buster includes the new Mailman (Mailman 3) -- which runs on Python 3. Mailman 3 isn't just an upgrade to Python3, but a complete re-architected Mailman. Mailman consists of 4 independent applications in version 3. One of those is the mailing list archive manager. Since we'll need to migrate our old mailing list archives to this new infrastructure (and preferably keep the URLs stable), the migration may be quite a bit of work to prepare. So, I'm looking for people who can help out: find out which *exact* steps we have to go through to get minimal downtime on an upgrade and get back to a stably running system on return. Comments? Volunteers? Proposals? -- Bye, Erik. http://efficito.com -- Hosted accounting and ERP. Robust and Flexible. No vendor lock-in.
