A concrete timeframe would be nice.?? :-) Let's plan for this Thursday 4:00pm EST (2020-06-04T20:00:00+00:00). My schedule is uncertain, so I may need to change it.

Planned update to squeaksource.com on dan.box.squeak.org
by David T. Lewis 29 May '20

Our current squeaksource.com image is running on an older Squeak version, and its SqueakSource packages are out of date with respect to the source.squeak.org server. I had looked into doing a squeaksource.com update a couple of years ago, but at that time I was not able to complete it due to some issues with ReferenceStream serialization, which is required for exporting the SS repository and importing it into an new image. The earlier issues with ReferenceStream serialization are resolved in Squeak 5.3, so it is now possible to export the serialized respository from the old image and import it into a Squeak 5.3 image. I have prepared a Squeak 5.3 based image for squeaksource.com, and I'd like to try swapping it into service some time soon. This will be a quick switchover (about one minute or less), and in the event of problems the rollback to the prior version will happen within a few minutes. However, the actual process of exporting the repository and importing it to the new image takes about six hours on my PC, so the overall conversion will take quite a while for me to do, and I will need to pick a day when I have some free time before I do it. This is just a heads-up that I have the new image prepared, and am planning to deploy it some time in the coming days or weeks. I will send email to squeak-dev prior to actually flipping the switch.

Re: [Box-Admins] [squeak-dev] source.squeak.org temporarily down (Re: No commit report on squeak-dev)

I must be overlooking something. A process listing shows this: root 671 665 0 2017 ? 00:00:00 readproctitle service errors: ..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................svscan: warning: unable to stat squeaksource: file does not exist And I can see the squeaksource image being endlessly restarted. What changed: I stopped the service (sudo -d /service/squeaksource), replaced the image, and started it again (sudo -u /service/squeaksource). I restored the previously working image, and still have the same problem (I put the right image back after that verification). I can't spot what I am overlooking here. I'll see if I can get it running manually outside of the supervise system. :-/ Dave On Wed, May 13, 2020 at 04:42:18PM +0200, Fabio Niephaus wrote: > Thank you, Dave! > > On Wed, May 13, 2020 at 4:41 PM David T.
