Hi all. As several of you noticed, the OFA server was badly broken yesterday. This happened while I was attempting to back out my git changes (which had messed up git). Unfortunately, before I realized what happened, the Ubuntu/Debian package manager (aptitude) not only removed git, but took a large number of other important packages with it. This was a result of my inexperience with aptitude, and I am very sorry this happened.
Fortunately, aptitude left most of the configuration and web content alone. Thus I was able to bring back the web server and the mail lists. Currently, our SPAM blocker is set up but I need to fix our virus checker. Thanks to Sasha, I also resurrected git to its old working state prior to my patching. I still need to bring back our wiki, and bugzilla. Also I fixed my php downloads page (the one that checks for WEB_README), and handed it off to SplitRock to link to the main web page. Unfortunately, I need to fix apache so php works again, but this shouldn't be difficult. One bright side of this event is that it forces me to fix the issue of the old certificates (from staging.openib...). This can be fixed if I switch the https pages to just http. Is this OK with everyone (otherwise we need to get new certificates)? Another issue is: do we still want to keep the openib gen2 archives available from the Developer Resource page? I currently have the link turned off, but can resurrect it if needed. If we decide to leave it turned off, I'll remove the "Linux Development Archives" section from that page. Again, I apologize for my blunder. Hopefully the server will be at least as good if not better than before after I fix everything. In the meantime, if you find any problems with the server, please don't hesitate to let me know. Thanks for your understanding. -jeff _______________________________________________ general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openfabrics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
