Just wanted to quickly update people on where we are with all the recent changes on gnome.org: * The move of the gnome.org servers to Red Hat headquarters from the colocation facility is finshed. * We've upgraded the mail and web servers to much nicer machines. (both dual 2.8Ghz PIV xeon, 2G memory). (A third identical machine will be added shortly to act as a database backend) * Mailman has been upgraded to 2.1. * We're now nfs exporting home directories across all the servers. This mostly affects the small group of people who can log into multiple machines. * We've moved to a LDAP user database; again this should be pretty invisible to users, but makes adminstration simpler. * We've switched from passwords to SSH keys for login authentication. If you have a login account, you should have gotten a mail with instructions for providing an SSH key. Those with login accounts can also start using these keys for CVS currently, we'll be migrating the rest of the CVS users over the next few weeks. Known regressions: * Some blogs are not working currently; I think this is basically people needing to rearrange their homedir contents or change homedirs permissions after the great homedir consolodation. * Private archives aren't working on mail.gnome.org. * post-only gnome org isn't working currently. * CVS and login account addition at the moment is a bit clumsy, so may continue to be a bit slow. If you find anything else please let us (gnome-sysadmin gnome org) know. Regards, Owen
