Re: [eclipse.org-committers] Gerrit upgrade snag

denis.roy@xxxxxxx (Denis Roy) — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 17:21:37 GMT

I have reverted Gerrit to the previous 2.2 version, and it is back
online.  Feel free to use it.

Apologies for the setback.

[eclipse.org-committers] Gerrit upgrade snag

denis.roy@xxxxxxx (Denis Roy) — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 14:54:09 GMT

Folks,

While upgrading Gerrit to the latest release, we've hit a snag where all
the projects are not being recognized.

I'm awaiting a patch that should fix this.  In the meanwhile, Gerrit
will not function correctly, and you should avoid accessing it (or
pushing to it).  Should the patch take too long to prepare, I'll simply
revert to our previous version of Gerrit.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

[eclipse.org-committers] EclipseCon preparation: downloads

denis.roy@xxxxxxx (Denis Roy) — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 17:31:12 GMT

Greetings,

Every year I bring a complete copy of download.eclipse.org with me to EclipseCon and host a local mirror site at the conference. This helps accelerate downloads for conference attendees and keeps traffic off the conference centre's (rather limited and expensive) Internet connection.

If your session attendees will be required to download or install software from Eclipse.org servers, or if you have large files to distribute, please place them in the downloads area before Friday, March 23 15h00 Eastern.

Thanks.  I look forward to seeing everyone at EclipseCon in 5 days!

Denis

[eclipse.org-committers] [Eclipse] Infra update: More bandwidth, more build servers, Cool Contest!

denis.roy@xxxxxxx (Denis Roy) — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 15:28:57 GMT

Greetings!

We've increased our bandwidth limit from 120 to 140 Mbps. This will help us cope with the substantial increase in traffic that started with Indigo SR2 on Feb 24. As Ian has reported on his blog [1], we're seeing a dramatic increase in hits from Asia, especially after Indigo SR2.

COOL CONTEST: How many Gigabytes do the Eclipse.org servers transfer to the Internet each month? Let me know via Twitter @droy_eclipse and win a free beer at EclipseCon [2]. Committer Board Reps are not eligible to participate :-) Please note: your odds of winning a prize are pretty much guaranteed provided you tweet an answer and come to EclipseCon. No rainchecks.

In other news, last month our friends at IBM have donated two powerful IBM POWER7 [3] servers, which have been deployed to our Hudson build farm [4]. Please make sure your build gurus are leveraging these monster servers for your project's builds.

Also, a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has helped keep our downloads footprint a reasonable size in recent months. Your efforts spent purging files and archiving older releases are greatly appreciated.

Thanks for reading; I look forward to seeing everyone at EclipseCon in 12 days!!

Denis

[eclipse.org-committers] Today's outage, and leftover flakiness

denis.roy@xxxxxxx (Denis Roy) — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 20:32:26 GMT

Folks,

This morning around 9:30am Eastern our main NFS/LDAP server experienced a kernel OOPS and crashed hard. Since the restart our LDAP server has been a bit flaky, so we took advantage of the situation to perform some OS updates (we don't typically update backend servers unless they're broken). We've restarted the LDAP service and so far it looks to be in better shape.

We'll need to reboot the backend servers to apply new kernel updates, but we'll wait until the weekend before we do that.

At this time, everything seems to have been stabilized.

[eclipse.org-committers] Introducing: Gerrit Code review

webmaster@xxxxxxx (Eclipse Webmaster (Denis Roy)) — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 19:35:17 GMT

Greetings,

We're officially launching Gerrit, a web based code review system, which
"facilitates online code reviews for projects using the Git version
control system.  Gerrit makes reviews easier by showing changes in a
side-by-side display, and allowing inline comments to be added by any
reviewer".


You can access Gerrit here:

    https://git.eclipse.org/r/

You can see Gerrit in action on a submitted change here:

    https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/4178/

You can read more about Gerrit here, including instructions on how to
use it, and how to enable it for your Git repos:

    http://wiki.eclipse.org/Gerrit

And finally, the background bug that has led us to this:

    http://bugs.eclipse.org/283749


If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me
directly at webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxx  If there are questions that come up
frequently, I will add them to the docs and/or broadcast them on this
list for all to enjoy.

Thanks,

Denis

Chris/all,

Thanks a lot. Maybe next year, EclipseCon Europe could offer an excursion to Kepler's birthplace, too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weil_der_Stadt

[eclipse.org-committers] Quick update: Authentication, Bugzilla, SSH, Europe

denis.roy@xxxxxxx (Denis Roy) — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 16:13:11 GMT

Greetings,

A quick report on the Eclipse.org state of IT:

Authentication
Before the winter break, we consolidated our Bugzilla and Committer accounts databases, which means you no longer have two accounts. We still have work to do in this area, as some of our web properties still rely on the Bugzilla database for authentication, but by now all the minor glitches have been worked out and things are working smoothly.

Bugzilla
We've recently upgraded to the latest and greatest Bugzilla release: the 4.x stream. You can read about the new features in Bugzilla 4.x here:

http://www.bugzilla.org/releases/4.0.3/release-notes.html#v40_feat

SSH
The SSH shell protection mechanism we've put in place several months ago is working smoothly. We rarely see new reports of shell access from unknown subnets as the system has learned your shell access points.

The winner of the "most subnets in use" award goes to Stephan Herrmann, with 29 subnets, followed by Dennis Hübner, 24, and Stephen Pingel, with 19. By way of comparison, Eclipse legend David Williams only has 3.

Europe
Many had reported poor performance to Eclipse.org servers from Europe, and I witnessed this firsthand at EclipseCon Europe in November. Since then, I've worked with our Internet provider to identify and fix a number of bottlenecks, which have led to noticeable performance improvements (as observed with an Amazon EC2 instance in Ireland). We're now monitoring performance from Europe on a regular basis, and we'll keep tuning our network gear to ensure adequate throughput.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us at webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxx.

Denis & Matt
