Putting other things back into service (Was: Re: [clo-devel] Putting statistics back into service.)

As you can see from the exchange here below my account jcbeaudoin on common-lisp.net has been made a member of the "admin" group by Hans Hubner a while ago and that used to allow me to use sudo to fix a few things here and there. I just tried it today since sudoers have been asked to fix what they consider would be useful to put back into service but has been a casualty of the recent server migration. My attempt showed that my sudo access does not work anymore, and I suspect that this is the case for the rest of the members of the "admin" group. Basically, when I do sudo it now fails at the personal password validation step. Somebody with real root access will need to fix this. Otherwise I suspect the effective set of sudoers will have shrunk significantly.

Is this thing on?
by Drew Crampsie 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

Hey, Common-lisp.net has been going through a massive migration. As stated[1], the server that cl-net was running on is not longer. This friday was the last day of that server, and I have been working all weekend to try and finish things off. On of the major issues was the email hosting. It was exim4 and mailman for the lists, both of which I did not like. So I spent today migrating to postfix, dovecot and mlmmj for mailing lists[2]. This is the first list that I have tried beyond my own personal tests, so consider this a test post! If you happen to get this, please respond to me. You could also CC the list if you so desire... my hope is that some do and some don't. -- drewc

Progress on stitching mailing list history back together
by Erik Huelsmann 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

Hi Mark, Mario, others, Today I finished a script to stitch the histories of the various mailing lists back together (yay!). However, I'm running into an issue: Mailman's HTML archive generator doesn't want to regenerate the archives for any archive that doesn't have an active mailing list associated (why?! Ugh!). So, I'll be experimenting later to see if I can create an active mailing list while regenerating the archive and deleting the mailing list thereafter again. If anybody feels like major Python hacking to hack the HTML archive generator to use the mailing list default settings if there's no active mailing list, that'd be perfect. (We don't use anything but the defaults...) So, good news, but unfortunately, bad news too. @Mark: some mail to armedbear-devel hasn't been archived between june 2014 and februari 2015. If you could find those mails (preferrably by downloading them in their original text form, by downloading POP3 or IMAP content), now would be an extremely good time, because it'll be easy to stich that content with the rest right now. -- Bye, Erik. http://efficito.com -- Hosted accounting and ERP.

Trial stitching of mailing list histories at https://mailman-test.common-lisp.net/pipermail/
by Erik Huelsmann 06 Apr '15

06 Apr '15

Hi, Last night I have finished my scripts which stitch the mailing list history from the old common-lisp.net system's mailman, the mlmmj and the new mailman archives. The result is hosted here: https://mailman-test.common-lisp.net/pipermail/ I'd greatly appreciate review of the result in order to be able to fix any issues before we do the final conversion run. Comments can be posted here. If you find spam when going through the archives, please let me know, because since we're re-generating the mailing list archives, now is a good time to remove it.

Projects with CVS *and* Subversion repositories
by Erik Huelsmann 05 Apr '15

05 Apr '15

Dear all, In preparation of migrating away from CVS, I've found a number of projects which have a non-empty CVS repository as well as a non-empty Subversion repository. To notify these projects, I've sent the mail below. However, some projects have not received this mail, because the member's e-mail addresses in the .forward file can't be reached. The projects which haven't received the notification are: plain-odbc : raverkamp(a)common-lisp.net cl-libtai: lvecsey(a)common-lisp.net If anybody knows how to reach these users, please forward this e-mail. If no reaction pops up (either by the project owner or someone who feels the need), the default action as mentioned in the mail will kick in (i.e. we'll assume the CVS repo is a remnant of a CVS->Subversion migration). Kindest regards, Erik. ----------------------------------------------------------- Dear members of the <project> project, As part of the migration of common-lisp.net to a more coherent and easier to support structure, it was discovered that your project has both a non-empty CVS repository as well as a non-empty Subversion repository. Because support for CVS repositories will be removed from the system in the months to come, we'd like to know if your CVS repository is a duplicate of the CVS repository or old remnant, even. We're currently assuming you *don't* need your CVS repository to be migrated anywhere (it's a duplicate or old remnant). We'll remove it. **** If this assumption is incorrect, please respond to this e-mail by 2015-04-12, telling us what you want to happen to your /CVS/ repository **** Your options are 1. Migrate to Git 2. Migrate to Subversion Thank you for your cooperation! Kindest regards, Erik Hulsmann common-lisp.net admins

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. [0] Full list of affected repositories: https://common-lisp.net/gitlab-migration-repository-mapping/ (note: updated today!)
