CAcert.org https certificates
     posted by Beuc, Tue 16 Sep 2008 05:49:31 PM UTC - 0 replies

We've switched to CAcert.org https certificates instead of the previously self-signed certificated. CAcert.org offers an alternative way to deliver https certificates based on a web of trust - and their software is GPL'd. More information at http://savannah.gnu.org/tls/

Webpages replication
     posted by Beuc, Wed 20 Aug 2008 09:37:50 AM UTC - 3 replies

All webpages now immediately synchronize to gnu.org and nongnu.org on CVS commit. Previously this wasn't installed for all projects, and some group type (such as translation teams) didn't update to the right place.

On other news we upgraded the Linux VServer kernel :)

Mercurial

You can enable it in your project through the top menu:

SVN was working for a while in beta and is now available. Thanks to our beta-testers.
Stay tuned for another VCS pretty soon :)

Upgrades: Git and rsync
     posted by Beuc, Wed 28 May 2008 11:14:41 PM UTC - 0 replies

We upgraded:
- Git to v1.5.5.1 (from v1.5.4.2)
- rsync to v3 (from v2; used for file uploads and VCS raw access)

Thanks to http://www.backports.org/ for providing packages, easing the Savannah maintenance :)

Planned short downtime
     posted by Beuc, Wed 28 May 2008 11:14:05 PM UTC - 1 reply

Within the next few days (this will be precised), Savannah will experience a short interruption for some hardware replacement (RAM).

Downtime
     posted by Beuc, Sat 17 May 2008 11:18:52 PM UTC - 0 replies

There was downtime for around 2 hours today, mostly because of a fsck after a reboot.

The cause of the interruption appears to be:
- Numerous archzoom requests triggering an increased number of disk-hungry tla processes.
- Concurrent web crawlers indexing these pages.
- Made worse by a arch.sv.gnu.org => arch.savannah.gnu.org site-wide redirection earlier this week.

tla is temporarily disabled and the load has returned to normal. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

SSH keys weakness
     posted by Beuc, Tue 13 May 2008 11:00:43 PM UTC - 0 replies

A vulnerability was discovered in Debian Etch's OpenSSL package:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/2008/msg00152.html

This means that keys generated under this platform version are weak, and easily crackable.

Consequently we've ...

Small downtime
     posted by Beuc, Thu 08 Nov 2007 12:47:55 AM UTC - 4 replies

When trying to install a new kernel, we got an error where initrd would apparently failed to setup RAID correctly, but unfortunately it was not possible to get the exact error message via the remote serial interface. For now we're back to the old kernel.
