-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I am glad to announce, we just deployed the latest software version of Debexpo, the software running mentors.debian.net. I'm sorry for any inconveniences as this caused some downtime. Along the update we also reimported all packages to the datbase because of schema changes in the backend. Unfortunately we had to remove all comments and package subscriptions. That said, we dumped the data and we will try to recover it in the upcoming days.
This a changelog of visible changes: This is the "Welcome Nicolas Dandrimont release". He made a lot of substantial and visible improvements in the QA plug-in codebase. The plug-in output (e.g. Lintian runs) not only looks much better now, it is also machine-readable in the backend which means we can tighter integrate plug-in information into semantic workflows based on that information. Thanks for the great work - we can do many useful things founded on that improvements in future. Remove identification of uploads by upload hash when using HTTP. This should never have been implemented that way. Instead verify the GnuPG key ID for upload signature. Please check your GnuPG key in your profile, your key ID must match your changed-by uploader ID, otherwise Debexpo will reject your upload. This behavior is the same for both, HTTP and FTP uploads. You can, but you do not need to update your ~/.dput.cf if you used to use HTTP. The upload hash is not used at all anymore. Existing configurations remain compatible for the time being, but we are going to stop support for these legacy configurations in a future release. Please update your ~/.dput.cfs! Provide worker tasks which run background jobs on the Expo server. Aside of this technical detail, this has the visible effect to our users that packages are automatically being removed from mentors.debian.net if: * The package was uploaded to an official Debian archive. * The package did not find a sponsor within 12 weeks. You can always reupload the package before, or after it is being removed from Expo to reset the timer again. Fix a bug in the orig.tar.gz handling (again). We now make sure, that the orig.tar.gz can be overwritten if the user uploaded a tarball which does not match the MD5 sum of an already known orig.tar.gz. This bug perhaps caused the most annoyance in the past months. Provide the correct RSS feed URL in the packages index page and fix HTML display issues on the same page. Thanks Paul Wise for providing a patch Make comments (and other pre-formatted texts flow properly in the browser). Again, thanks Paul Wise and Sasa Bozic for telling us console hackers how pure vain graphical interfaces need to be designed. Allow uploads to oldstable-security and fix a substantial amount of bugs causing the importer to crash previously. For those who didn't notice yet: https://mentors.debian.net now supports SSL. We upgraded several templates and workflows to reflect the new 'sponsorship-requests' based BTS workflow. Beyond, no automated integration is done yet. - -- with kind regards, Arno Töll IRC: daemonkeeper on Freenode/OFTC GnuPG Key-ID: 0x9D80F36D -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJPSYxeAAoJEMcrUe6dgPNtS1sP/im3szFool9NMP0R6ZIiew7o OHZXarKuSJz750W6BPgF7PrPeBT8nC9+a7WpLHmn6Ymop5Wyc5cKLBsnF9yiJOPz /7YLy1pFE1GZuohk1Vr0mob+Uho99aCkSKusysGcfOeZLaMiQnLduEVQNpVSqdN9 UHDa1fYY/x4qkShDnbgqwIj7kEXPtxzR81yGCBfWh4M0uwn4Xkg/6tSZz8hBkRbP a7iV1odn8hmxxOq+xwzeq2OydxF12wEQwJpai7Z2lyn3Ge+2g7vpEG6tU7wx2VmC ncTtDpA71oQ5nz20QvtthtjlZdlkUJ9/b6LvgbtvkGJyhfN/jL4qpusqmycs3urb DTbqSPmfy0gXgIpE+Ael3UR7ud+CrzVzGYEjjpQbmOJLpZH45kneJTmk6Pf9vjwl rLf7OZqWjrbRX9ZLMEP9+otgnMQ6ITYY4bAEKB3XmsipukTMyU4uvunYO0EvHfQB Zzr7MUV1KXVSSC93duyt09oKLt5dAxtIitTrUrpvT+j+V+BwvHO3i3z2Mo+ypDm5 OZsDJkzIl4MlwWEaHHkBmJ8VC93pjzcbB0SCPHvuRfTv/NZsJI86a40jqHBx716+ XrWfRajXqZ2+fblhDVImGNCkvW1TSCpkR8YSooczbW9xY43xtyXUb3v9wkAOppBB xgECZWZ5uGod9jF383lJ =oQaI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
