Re: [Exherbo-dev] Gerrit issues & way forward

[Pierre Lejeune]

Hi,

Gerrit is indeed not really usable these last days/weeks.
Opening a change in a new tab results in being redirected to Wulf's blog.
Reviewing files is just not allowed.

So +1 for me as well.
I think we can live without Gerrit during a couple of days.
Re-entering all my settings is not a problem if it can result in less
annoyance in the future.

Regards,
Pierre

Hi,

Gerrit is indeed annoying lately.
I don't think 1 or 2 days of downtime would really matter given the
current status.
+1 for spawning a brand new one. Maybe we can abandon dead changesets
before the migration and try to restore the others. Shouldn't be too
much work I guess.

Hello,

as many of you experienced, Gerrit is currently having some issues:

- Logging in will sometimes fail
- Diffs of files can't be viewed

This was/is due to updating Gerrit to a version that had severe OAUTH
issues. These have been resolved with a new version released today and
is currently in-place.

Nevertheless, some accounts have been damaged over the last few days.


Resulting issues currently affecting Gerrit:

- The contents of the user table in the database have been damaged due
to the OAUTH issues which is why for some users there are still login
issues.

- Permissions are partly broken due to that as well (which is why the
diffs don't display).

- Due to prior version updates, having had to use workarounds, the
necessity to manually (SQL) fix database issues, etc., there's a lot of
cruft and simply some issues I found when I inspected the database in-depth.

- My admin account is broken and can't be repaired (boy, have I
tried...). Every time I log in (which ironically works just fine now
using either Google or Github), a new user gets created for myself.


The problem: Due to the OAUTH stuff, changes by Google, Github and
Gerrit upstream, dependencies and some other stuff, I *cannot* downgrade
to the previous Gerrit version.


Right now, I'm tempted to start over with a new Gerrit instance because
I don't see any practicable way to fix the stuff I mentioned.

Consequences of starting over:

- Will take a day or two
- All users will have to re-do any personal settings, options, queries, etc.
- Groups will have to be re-created and re-populated
- Custom permissions will have to be re-implemented
- Clean database without migration history
- No more manual SQL interventions; if it can't be done via the API, it
won't be done
- Gerrit will run inside a Docker container


Opinions?

Sounds like a good idea to me. Anything that can lower the maintenance 
burden for you, and hopefully make it more reliable moving forward would 
be good.


Br,

If it makes things work more reliably going forward, I say do it.

Opinions?


Can you migrate the current patches (or is that what you mean with queries?)?
I guess that should be possible, since they are in a git repo, right?
If so, then just go for it.

Otherwise, if most of the patches are rotten potatoes, maybe it's better to 
start clean and see what gets resubmitted.
