Jonah,

Yes, the scripts now runs as a Jenkins job once per day:

  https://ci.eclipse.org/oomph/job/mirror-index/

So everyone has up-to-date information about how much mirror space their project is using and can easily identify what they should consider cleaning up.  This usage has gone up 100MB in the last month.  Denis will be very happy if you all go and clean up your old stuff!

In any case, as others have mentioned, it's not so much an issue of wanting (or needing) to do things manually but rather the need (strong desire) for an interactive shell while developing new functionality.

Regards,
Ed

Cool webpage Ed. Thanks for sharing that.

I assume that was generated by some script you wrote? If so, is there anything that prevents you from running it via a Jenkins job?

When I first took over releng for CDT it was at first a little bit of a pain not doing it with shell access, but instead over time we have moved from manually running commands on the server to having reproducible scripts stored in git and run as CI jobs.

My understanding is you will still be able to run such command/scripts, but only via the CI account. I trust someone will enlighten me if I am wrong.

Thanks,
Jonah

    Mat,

    Count me as someone who will be VERY, VERY, VERY UNHAPPY ABOUT
    RESTRICTIONS!

    Sorry for shouting, but it's hard for me to imagine how I can
    maintain the services that I provide without the access I
    currently have.  Just as an example, I could not have developed
    this without such access:

    https://download.eclipse.org/oomph/archive/eclipse/index.html

    I assume there must be extremely good reasons for this change of
    policy, no doubt related to ultra-secure security.  I'm sure those
    reasons must be excellent and that you, or someone, will be able
    to articulate them.  Please do so for the benefit of the community
    at large, given that you feel the need to announce this to the
    community at large, rather than to the "limited set of committers".

    Perhaps a Bugzilla for such a discussion thread would be
    appropriate to reduce noise levels on the mailing list.

    Regards,
    Ed

    Hi Everyone,

      As some of you may know we have traditionally provided a
    limited set of committers with shell access to build.eclipse.org
    <http://build.eclipse.org>, and all other committers having
    restricted shells.

    For the last couple of years[1][2] we've been working to reduce
    that number as far as possible, and the time has come to finish
    the process.

    Effective August 28th 2019 we will be transitioning all
    committers that still have a regular shell to our restricted
    shell.  You will still be able to use SFTP and SCP to interact
    with the downloads and archive areas(but we suggest a job on your
    Eclipse CI instance!)

    If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact
    Webmaster.

    -Matt.
