[gentoo-dev] svn.overlays migration/downtime

2008-10-11 Thread Robin H. Johnson 
Hi Folks,

At some point over this weekend (we haven't pinned an exact time yet,
details to follow), there's going to be a ~5-minute outage of overlays
SVN service to move SVN onto the new server.

Bug reports for items not listed here should go to bugzilla (Product:
Infra, Component: Other)

The SVN side is pretty much worked out. 
Known issues:
- Subersion failed to include a required Content-Length header with the
  serf library (if you have USE='webdav-serf -webdav-neon').
  https://bugs.gentoo.org/241234
  This will break all SVN actions until fixed.

Source Viewing:
- Trac and ViewVC.

Wiki side:
- We were originally going to ditch Trac entirely, but for the moment
  we're just sticking with it. If we do switch wikis, it will be either
  dokuwiki or MediaWiki.

You can play with the new box at by using the new DNS:
overlaystest.gentoo.org
ALL changes will be wiped when we do the final migration.

Old box specs:
egret - 1.5GHz Sempron 2200+, 512MiB RAM, 80GB IDE.

New box specs:
pelican - 2x 1.8GHz Opteron 1210, 2GiB RAM, 250GB SATA.

 Why not use our package site for this, i.e.
 HOMEPAGE=http://packages.gentoo.org/package/${CAT}/${PN};

This is not homepage. HOMEPAGE should point to package dependent
information or in other words to upstream. Then why point to some site
which has nothing to do with upstream?

Same stands to existent or nonexistent link on gentoo.org or any other
domain. This is even worth as this solution also makes users to open
another page which just tell them that homepage does not exist...

So I think if HOMEPAGE does not exist then it's better either put some
constant there or better make it empty. If we wish, for packages with
empty HOMEPAGE we can teach tools like emerge -s or eix to show Home
page unknown or Homepage does not exist. Simple and clear, what else
do we need? :)
