Hans and I discussed the mailer setup off-list. So that's solved now. However, nobody commented on this section of the mail below. I'd like to have some feedback/thoughts on the "this bit needs more thought" part directly below the numbered list.
With the status above, we're getting closer to the point where we actually have to do something with the data and services on the current machine.
Before we get that far, though, it would be nice if someone could configure the OTRS instance I set up on the new box for cl-net use. [I'll help, of course.]
I've been thinking about the next steps. The easy steps would be:
- copy /project data to the new server
- nfs-mount /project on the old box (if we use NFSv3, both Subversion
and CVS should be NFS safe, I understand) 3. migrate the anonymous read services for version control to the new box 4. copy and test the custom scripts, including installation of cron jobs etc 5. migrate trac.common-lisp.net to the new server
and from there it requires a bit more thought to get things right. Remaining questions:
- how to migrate the users password and other secure data
- related: how to we bridge the gap between the time of the migration
of the user account data (/etc/passwd and /etc/group) and the migration of the last service
- which services need account (login) data [I know about Subversion
commit, trac administration, cvs commit, website update; others?]
Well, more questions and ideas how to proceed are *very* welcome.
Anybody?
Thanks in advance!
Bye,
Erik.
