Hi everybody, Over in infra, some of us have been working hard (see also the recent anonymous CVS and SVN services), and we're now ready for public testing on another milestone...
The shiny new bugstest.gentoo.org! We're opening it up for all testers as of this email. It is current up the 14th of November, so I would also like to encourage everybody searching for existing bugs to use it. It should scale much better than the existing BugZilla setup. This testing period will last for 2-4 weeks, depending on how stable the setup of bugstest turns out to be. Then we can hopefully roll out the new Bugzilla for production use in time for Christmas! Usage: 1. Point your browser at http://bugstest.gentoo.org 2. Continue as normal 3. When you find a problem, file a bug in the real bugzilla http://bugs.gentoo.org/, directed to infra, with 'bugstest' in the summary! Notable elements: - Newer version of Bugzilla from upstream. - Much more database horse-power. - Automatic failover between database machines. - A much better backup system - that shouldn't cause a major hiccup at night - 5 seconds of non-availability, and then 5-8 minutes of a slightly delay on one of the database machines. Misc Notes: - email is disabled, so nobody gets spammed by any attempted mass changes. - I suspect there might be one or two UTF8 problems lurking. Look on the main bugzilla for entries that use UTF8 in the summary and the comments, and compare them to the entries in bugstest. Thanks to kingtaco, myself, ramereth, solar, jforman and cshields for all playing a part of getting this together so far! -- Robin Hugh Johnson E-Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85
