Server needed for squeaksource hosting [caracciolo@iam.unibe.ch: Re: squeaksource.com transition to new server]
by David T. Lewis 25 Nov '13

25 Nov '13

We now have access to a complete snapshot copy of SqueakSource. I am in the process of retrieving the files to my personal PC (not yet complete, I'm still trying to get a clean copy of one large 15GB file), and I will now need a place to put them on squeak.org. I need some help to proceed. We need a server with 20 to 30 GB of file space available for the SqueakSource files, and with memory and CPU resources similar to whatever we are currently doing for source.squeak.org. Can someone help, either by giving me access to an existing server, or by letting me know what is available? I will need a user account (lewis) similar to my current account on build.squeak.org, and I will need sudo privilege to set up an account for squeaksource and to set up the runtime environment. In addition it would be helpful if I could get enough access to the source.squeak.org server so that I can look at it and figure out how that server is configured. Even better would be if the source.squeak.org server has enough capacity (mainly disk space) to also host squeaksource, in which case we can put both of them on the same server. I would like to do this as soon as possible (tomorrow perhaps?) so any assistance and pointers will be gratefully received.

I'm not sure what those logs are, but it looks like they will be just the normal apache logging (whatever that might happen to be) renamed so you can see that they came from the squeaksource.com virtual host. > > shouldn't we move this to box-admins? > Yes (I cc'ed box-admins this time). I've been trying to work this out on the box-admins list but I suspect there may be a few more Apache gurus here on squeak-dev, so I decided to hijack this thread and see if I could get some tips.

Change notification: SqueakSource transition to a new server
by David T. Lewis 30 Sep '13

30 Sep '13

For many years, SqueakSource has been hosted by the Software Composition Group and the University of Bern, providing a valuable resource to the Squeak and Pharo community. The maintainers of SqueakSource at SCG have kindly offered to support a transition of this service to a server maintained by the Squeak community, and the Squeak oversight board has agreed to take responsibility for maintaining that service. Effective October 1, 2013 or thereabouts, the squeaksource.com address will be redirected to a new server. This change may impact you in the following ways: 1) Files that have been committed to SqueakSource since August 22, 2013 may be missing after the switch. We expect to identify and restore any such missing files within a few days following the change, but until this is complete, some recent repository updates will be temporarily missing. 2) If you are the owner of a project on SqueakSource, and have recently (since August 22) made changes to your project such as adding new developer authorizations, those recent changes may be lost. We will attempt to identify problems such as this, but it may be necessary for you to redo the changes. 3) Outbound mail notifications from SqueakSource will be disabled. If your project is configured to send mail to a mailing list or to yourself when commits are made, that mail will not be sent. This feature will be restored in the future, but will not be available immediately after the transition. No changes have been made to existing SqueakSource policies, and at the present time creation of new projects on squeaksource.com remains disabled. Dave

The existing squeaksource.com service is being kept on line a little longer to facilitate a proposed rehosting on one of the squeak.org servers.

Did my CogVM job get hijacked on build.squeak.org?
by David T. Lewis 20 Sep '13

20 Sep '13

I am seeing console output like this: http://build.squeak.org/job/CogVM/335/console Construction à distance sur lfpdeb64 in workspace /home/tonyg/jenkins/workspace/CogVM So how did a job that I set up to run on build.squeak.org end up getting executed on a remote machine in an inappropriate environment? I am guessing that the job got assigned to the lfpdeb64 slave machine of Tony Garnock-Jones, but I cannot see how or why that happened. Any ideas? Dave

I decided to take this step after having www.squeak.org go down again. But, perhaps unsurprisingly, that didn't actually help. It turns out that I in fact made a mistake and copied the files from the backup as root (sudo bash, old-fashionedness and typing laziness) and failed to change the ownership to the website account/group. Once I fixed this and restarted it is up again, I believe everything is up. Of course that may change so I will continue to check periodically for a while. Ken

But frankly I am confused. -rw-r--r-- 1 website website 10085010 Sep 13 09:00 squeaksite-badq.changes -rw-r--r-- 1 website website 100529268 Sep 13 09:00 squeaksite-badq.image These are copies of the image/changes (i/c for short) that I found initially when the site was not responding. -rw-r--r-- 1 website website 10085010 Sep 13 09:00 /var/cache/rsnapshot/daily.0/localhost/home/website/website/squeaksite.changes -rw-r--r-- 1 website website 100529268 Sep 13 09:00 /var/cache/rsnapshot/daily.0/localhost/home/website/website/squeaksite.image The above are the most recent backup i/c.

I tried each of these in turn starting from daily.1. I waited at least 2+ minutes after restarting the image in each case. The one where it finally worked and I stopped is daily.5. Now I didn't notice this until after it was working and I looked more closely but the images in daily.1-daily.6 all have the same size and date, in fact that date is a month ago. I don't know how the image save works in the squeak.org image, perhaps it was intelligent enough to note that there had been no changes and so there had in fact been no need to save since Aug 13? Why did the 5th one work? I don't know. I don't believe the image has any external dependencies. Could it somehow depend on the changes file? Any other explanation I can come up with suggests at minimum it is time to reboot the system as a whole or that we have other more serious problems. Everything else seems to be working for now, even www.squeak.org is working. I'm just going to leave it alone for the time being. Ken P.S. Note the number 6 in the second column of each of those daily.1-daily.5 .image backups? That number indicates the links to the file data, the number of paths in the directory table that all point to the same file data. These 6 files are in fact actually just 6 directory entries pointing to the same data (they daily.6 one is the 'original'). This is exactly how our backup system (rsnapshot/rsync) is supposed to work. If a file has not changed from one backup to the next a hard link is created to the file rather than copy the file. This is actually done using the venerable cp command (see the -l option in the man page or other documentation). Anyway the point is that when the each backup took place, it was rsync's opinion that compared to the previous backup, the image file was unchanged, in which case it did not copy the file over the previously created hard link.

I tried to simply restart it but that didn't work. I've tried restoring a backup from a day ago and that doesn't seem to be working. I will continue to try b ackups but at a glance all the image files look larger than they should be which in the past has not been a good sign in terms of a working image. This may require assistance from someone with knowledge of the image/AIDA. But I will report back after I have tried all the backups or it is up again. Ken
