I responded on the pmc@ list, since I included some private information
(username/passwords/etc). I'm all for moving forward on this, but basically
haven't been able to because of work taking up the vast majority of my time.
One thing to note is that the BZ box does 3 things currently:
- Bugzilla (pretty trivially moved)
- DNS (The ASF owns the spamassassin.org domain, but they still haven't taken
over the management/serving of the data)
- SMTP (All mail for @spamassassin.org goes there)
The first is easy, the second is set to go IMO if some of the infra guys can
help out (I've kept the zones up to date, so the one in SVN ought to be right
for now), but we need to get slaves setup to serve the domain, then update the
root NS, etc. The third ... I don't know what we're planning to do with mail
for the domain. By in large, the addresses have been replaced with
@apache.org or @spamassassin.apache.org equivilents, but it'd be nice if we
could get some kind of virtualhost setup for the domain that we can control
for aliases and what not. Things like submit, release, and security still
potentially get traffic.
A thought may be that we should do all this stuff at ApacheCon US 2005.
A bunch of the infra guys will be there, as will I (that's the plan anyway),
so it should be easy to get this stuff done if we just sat down for an hour
and did it all. The time consuming bit of all this, imo, is the DNS
change-over for who serves up the zones. I asked the infra list a while ago
about DNS, then again about DNS for updates.sa.org, and basically never got a
response iirc.
