hey there. I'm coordinating the berlin development effort, and we're undergoing some growing pains with the current servers we're on: (va|master).debian.org. I mailed culus about it, and he said there are a number of somewhat "idle" port hosts in debian's menagerie, and suggested I forward a list of what we're looking for to y'all and perhaps we can find an appropriate host where we won't be disturbing anyone. so in a nutshell, we'd like:
* separate accounts for all of our developers, so that they can do checkins under their own names. now they're all sharing my account on va. * sshd, cvs, http and ftp (obviously) * a separate account for a webmaster, since I don't always have time to keep the website up to date. * cgi's, so we can run cvsweb and/or tinderbox, and possibly generate portions of the website from cvs checkin logs or statistics. * g++, omni, db2++, mesa, ggimesa, all the cruft we require to build berlin and run regression tests. * a mysql or postgresql server so we can colocate out BTS. right now, we're running a bugzilla on jordy's machine, which is ok, but it'd be nice if we could have it somewhat more closely related to the main website. * fresco, our "parent project", is losing its host, so for historical reference we need to mirror it before it disappears. we've actually been asked by the fresco maintainers to do this, and given the amount of code we inherited from them it seems appropriate. so, obviously this is a large shopping list, and we're aware that giving all our developers accounts on master or va and introducing all these changes would be a little disruptive on debian security and internal policy. but equally we feel a certain comfort with working on debian machines, and don't want to just abandon the generous service we've been getting in favour of a more "feature-packed" host (especially given the lack of responsiveness we got from, say, linuxcare when we tried hosting the BTS there) so any sort of recommendations on what to do / where to go would be appreciated. thanks -graydon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
