I've just got my Golden Ticket to migrate my sites one of Joyent's old BSD shared servers on to a new, shiny, faster, shared Solaris Accelerator. This will be good news when it's complete, because the new servers are faster and much more reliable.
The downside in the short term is that: a) I have to migrate all my sites, email, a Trac install etc. over to the new server myself, which will take time, but has to be done in the next 60 days. b) This will inevitably involve a bit of downtime for the Tracks site. Now that we've got the development repositories in Git, issue b) isn't as severe as it might have been before. The move also gives the opportunity to potentially change a few things and get rid of cruft, so I wanted your opinions on the following: 1) How do you feel about just removing the SVN repository? It's a bit of a pain to move, and since we have all the history (as well as all the current development) in Git, it's a bit redundant. I don't have any other active SVN repositories, so I would be moving just the Tracks db. 2) Is it a good time to move from Trac to something else? We did discuss this a bit earlier on when we moved to Git, but I'm afraid that I haven't had much time to look into the various OS ruby alternatives to Trac. 3) I've toyed with the idea of buying Tracks its own domain name. I think it would be good for it to have its own identity, and it would make it a bit easier for me to maintain. Potentially, it would also be easier for someone else to help with the administration or take over administration if my time gets even more pressed. getontracks.com/.org / .net is available, but unfortunately, tracks.it isn't! If anyone has any thoughts on this (or any suggestions for domain names!), let me know. cheers, bsag -- but she's a girl - the weblog of a female geek http://www.rousette.org.uk [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Tracks-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rousette.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/tracks-discuss
