Chris? Ken? Anyone?
I am quite anxious to make progress on the squeaksource.com move to squeak.org, but I am somewhat stuck if I cannot get access to one of our servers.
An account for lewis on box4 would be a huge help if anyone with root access can make that happen.
Thanks, Dave

Hi Chris,
Do you have root (or sudo) access to add me as a user on box4? If so, can you please add me with an account similar to what I currently have on box3:
lewis@box3-squeak:~$ id uid=1003(lewis) gid=1003(lewis) groups=1003(lewis),27(sudo) lewis@box3-squeak:~$ grep lewis /etc/passwd lewis:x:1003:1003:David Lewis lewis@mail.msen.com,,,:/home/lewis:/bin/bash lewis@box3-squeak:~$ grep lewis /etc/group sudo:x:27:kencausey,chriscunnington,lewis,leventeuzonyi,bertfreudenberg,frankshearar,chrismuller lewis:x:1003: lewis@box3-squeak:~$
Thanks a lot!
Dave

It's still Ken, no-one has stepped up to take over yet. Thankfully, Ken still keeps it up ...
Chris M. just got access to box3 and box4, I assume with sudo rights, so he should be able to set you up.

Who is the gatekeeper for server and account access? I know Ken has been trying to hand off responsibility for this for quite some time, but I don't recall who picked up the task.
I know we are in the middle of vacation season, but if someone can give me a pointer I'd appreciate it.
Thanks, Dave

FYI, I am currently consuming a large amount of disk space on build.squeak.org for testing squeaksource migration. Let me know if this causes any problems.
Over the weekend I was able to bring up a full copy of squeaksource.com on my home PC. I worked around a couple of problems and got the in-image repository updated (so it won't spam the mailing lists after a SqueakSource restart), and I disabled mail delivery. I then copied the entire thing to my user directory on build.squeak.org.
This is just a temporary test and is not yet properly installed, but anyone interested can connect to it on http://build.squeak.org:8888. VNC is running on display 1, please ask if you would like the password (this list is archived so I won't mention the password here).
I do need some help to identify the right location for the real installation. Will this be on box4? If so, can I please get an account?
Thanks, Dave

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 now (finally) have a complete copy of the SqueakSource files sitting on my hard drive here in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Here is what we have:
-rw-r--r-- 1 lewis users 16341844652 2013-08-24 04:21 Squeaksource-projects-22-8-2013.tar -rw-r--r-- 1 lewis users 5558656 2013-08-23 08:20 Squeak-3.9-8-SqueakSource.app.tar -rw-r--r-- 1 lewis users 167474616 2013-08-23 08:19 squeaksource.image -rw-r--r-- 1 lewis users 15721301 2013-08-23 08:18 squeaksource.changes -rw-r--r-- 1 lewis users 718 2013-08-23 08:18 squeaksource.com -rw-r--r-- 1 lewis users 1686 2013-08-23 08:17 Workspace.text -rw-r--r-- 1 lewis users 14542313 2013-08-23 08:17 SqueakV3.sources
After unpacking the files (these are compressed tars), the total disk usage is a bit over 16 GB:
lewis@linux-jh8m:~/squeak/SS/TransitionToSqueakDotOrg/WORK> du -s * 21564 Squeak-3.9-8-SqueakSource.app 15356 squeaksource.changes 4 squeaksource.com 163552 squeaksource.image 14204 SqueakV3.sources 16401280 ss 4 Workspace.text
So a server with 20GB working space is sufficient, and 30GB would provide comfortable headroom.
