Hello,

I would start with saying that we with Milo and Ben today fixed admin
access issue with Gerrit,
https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-android-infrastructure/+bug/1185061 .
It's unclear why it happened, and there're existing 3rd-party reports
of it, so I suggest all Gerrit admin to look at bug to be aware of
symptoms and report them ASAP if they reoccur.


Otherwise, upgrading to Gerrit 2.5 finally allowed us to automatically
mirror new AOSP projects as they appear, without compromising security.
I also improved detection method of new projects - previously we used
manifest from master branch as the source, but as not all projects
listed there, we missed some. I switched to using list of projects as
provided by gitweb at https://android.googlesource.com/ , and that
picked up bunch of new projects. So, from now on, we should have truly
complete AOSP mirror all the time. To remind we sync existing projects
twice a day and pick up new once a day. Follow up if you think that
needs adjustment.


Gerrit/mirror also proved to be quite stable during previous
exploitation, and now should be fairly feature-complete, and as
ITS folks are proactive with supporting services after migration, so I
guess this signifies point where LAVA team can hand over Gerrit/mirror
to them for ongoing maintenance. Philip, Ben, let me know is that's ok
with you. That means that any users of Gerrit and Android upstream
mirror are welcome to report any issues directly to [email protected] (cc:
[email protected] , so we know how well it goes). The rest on
Android infra issue should still go to
https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-android-infrastructure/ (well, if you
want LAVA team to react to it first).

Philip, Ben, all notes Gerrit/mirror are reachable from
https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/Gerrit . That's not intended
to duplicate official docs, but should provide fairly complete
reference of typical usecases and issues we faced. Caveat: it may be
not always up to date. Feel free to "officially" request improvements
to docs via https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-android-infrastructure/
(besides just consulting via irc/email of course).


I'm excited about these changes - it's first time in 2-month marathon I
really feel that migration brings stabilization and improvements to our
process and infrastructure. I'm sure that over coming months more
improvements will be made and that feeling will be shared by all teams
in Linaro.


Thanks,
 Paul                          mailto:[email protected]
