Following the massive security breach at SourceForge, they are updating everything they can.
One of the updates is that "Outbound email is permitted via authenticated SMTP service (password is per-project)." This started already now (commits to the repo return an error code when trying to send the committ message) and I am still navigating the SF maze (must say that the new one looks better, but it is still a maze) to find our password. In the meantime, please consult the web summary [0] and make sure you do hg pull before hg pushing to avoid the unintentional creation of new heads (note to self: add a pre-commit hook to prevent that). thanks Yuv [0] http://hugin.hg.sourceforge.net/hgweb/hugin/hugin ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Project web service changes for your projects Date: February 9, 2011, 03:36:24 pm From: "SourceForge.net Team" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Hello, We are pleased to announce the rollout of our updated project web service to all projects. This rollout has been undertaken on an expedited basis to make security improvements available for this service and was announced to our blog at the start of our incident response. Full details are in our site docs at: http://tinyurl.com/sfprweb This updated service has been tested over the past few months and provides substantial improvements: * File access is now per-project when file perms are set properly, allowing you to safeguard database passwords and other confidential data. * Directory space is now writable by your app code, eliminating the need to use our old /home/persistent space. * Web logs are available (IPs are obfuscated). * Updated PHP, Python, Perl, etc. * Outbound email is permitted via authenticated SMTP service (password is per-project). Your applications may need updates to work under new PHP (5.3 has some changes) and optimally with our new file permissions model. Please review the documentation provided above and contact us at [email protected] if you have any questions. Rollout will commence today (Wednesday) with 'a' projects, continuing through the alphabet until all migrations are complete.
