Hi all,
as indicated by the end of last week, this week I could perform most of the
required changes to turn the frontend server into the primary server instead
of being just a cache and a mirror. This is in effect right now (and given
that nobody complained yet I think I didn't break too much ;-)).
There are a few visible impacts (some of these will be addressed later) :
- downloads are expected to always be fast now (OK that's the part I
don't intend to fix ;-))
- haproxy.org is no longer available over IPv6. IPv6 used to be served
directly by the origin server but due to the role change this is no
longer possible (nor useful since half of the traffic is IPv6 there,
hence experiences performance issues). I'll see what needs to be done
to enable IPv6 on the new server.
- repositories on git.1wt.eu will no longer be updated. I still need
to place some redirects there to avoid mistakes.
- all members of the stable team should theorically be able to emit a
release on their own (which was the initial purpose of the change).
Automatic maintenance and update scripts were migrated to the new primary
server and *seem* to work.
Do not hesitate to report any possible breakage you'd notice (eg: nightly
snapshots not produced anymore, list of bugs not working, permission issues,
etc). The tests I've run were OK but surprizes can be expected (especially
due to the difference in Git version between the machines).
Have a nice week-end,
Willy
