You may be forgetting an important point. I may be wrong, but we also
have to serve the sources [1] for these binary packages if it's going
to appear like we're "supporting" this system of rolling back. And for
every version at that.

Our argument for having only one version currently is because we
"support" only one version at any one time. I'm not sure if having
this system as part of our infrastructure is going to affect that
position.

Just want to add a side note here, that the two most popular CLI wrappers 
(downgrade and downgrader in AUR) are using the web service hosted by Arch 
Linux Chinese Community (archlinuxcn). We are also hosting the service right 
at the day when the old A.R.M was down.

I think we're implementing the services in two aspects: Sébastien is providing 
daily-based folders, which is great to rollback or freeze a system at some 
point, while archlinuxcn is providing API for CLI wrappers to query packages, 
which makes more sense for users using the CLI helpers.

About the server resources:

83G ./community
70G ./packages

There were some users from the forums gave us their old backups, so we have 
oldest package back to 2007 here, while packages (not including [testing]) 
from 2011 are generally available for search & download.

For example, a search for kernel26 returns every version down to 2.6.38.3, 
which was released on 2011-04-17 according to our svn log.

So the resource consumption doesn't look scary at all :) I don't actually have 
a preference on making the service official or not, the current domain "repo-
arm.archlinuxcn.org" looks OK to me as well.

Felix Yan

I always use the web interface to get packages from ARM. No wrapper. The
unique CLI tool I used was pacman to rollback a whole system.

The ARM server latency is pretty good where pkgbuild.com is a nightmare.

Not precisely, but I can dig trough the log files and do some math. Say
lesser than 10Mbit/s, as the bandwidth and traffic can be included in
the server price, that doesn't really matter.

I'm not expecting less sysadmin load, I could perfectly handle that for
the time to come. But maybe one day, younger guy will replace me or

I don't think we change anything about that. Partial upgrade are not
supported. We already have to handle users doing this, and we still
continue to kill them if there system is not up-to-date before they
report their issue.

I'm suggesting an archlinux archive, not changing our successful rolling
release model.

However, archive service is not a critical service, we can stay at basic
level.

The Rollback Machine has a convenient CLI wrapper to access packages.
Have you tried using the Rollback Machine with just a browser?  It is
nearly impossible.  The CLI wrapper makes it much nicer.

The aur.git backup has no such convenient wrapper.  Yes, it is painful
to use.  About as painful as trying to navigate the Rollback Machine
with a web browser.  Write a front end instead of this vague, nebulous
proposal.

Just to clarify the Arch Linux ARM thing.  No one asked to incorporate
ALARM into the Rollback Machine.  Someone did ask for assistance with
setting up their own Rollback Machine.  And this guy was not "from
ArchARM", he was an ALARM mirror host.

If only one guy is complaining about latency, great!  Hundreds of
people aren't.  I wish I could do something where only one person
complained about it.

Is there any use keeping packages older than, say, a year? That'd take
200 GB of disk space. Would you have an estimate of the average monthly
bandwidth usage?

Personally, although I think the AUR is a valuable service and that you
shouldn't be assuming its costs and maintenance alone, I'm not sure if
making it official would be a good thing (TM) in terms of encouraging
users to downgrade packages rather than reporting bugs and upgrading
cleanly when things break.

Right, but throwing this responsibility on the arms of Arch developers
isn't really a solution, either, without quiescence. You seem to be of
the mindset of that adding this to the archlinux.org domain will
magically lighten your own sysadmin load.

While I think the idea is neat, I don't think is has a place underneath
archlinux.org -- we'd be taking a step towards supporting partial
upgrades (which we refuse to support everywhere else). Before you
mention the AUR, remember that the AUR hosts source packages; not binary
packages.

Sure, I agree with this. Our serving structure is pretty strange and it
doesn't make sense to host the repo on the build server for any other
reason than: "this is where we had unallocated resources."

You lost me here. git is made up entirely of deltas and serves as a
distributed backup. It's *really* *good* at this, even on wide trees.

I don't suggest to pay forever, one of the benefits of moving this, is
to stop rely on one guy. We already suffer of a previous shutdown on

The current server cost is 16.99€/month excl. VAT with 2x1TB HDD with
1Gbit/s connectivity, 200Mbit/s internet bandwidth and unlimited traffic.

A cheap solution based on a dedibox classic[2] with 2x1TB, 1 Gbit/s con,
150Mbit/s internet and unlimited traffic for 29.99€/month excl. VAT.
should be sufficient.

A more future proof solution may based on a dedibox pro[3] with 2x3TB
drives, with 400Mbit/s internet bandwidth and unlimited traffic for
69€/month excl. VAT.

Of course, any Hetzner alternative may fit, but traffic limitation may
cause extra cost that we don't have with online.net offers.

> How long would packages be retained? What about resource

My suggestion would to keep them as far as we can, until costs is not a

Keeping the git backend or not, it makes sense to me to move this from
the build server (pkgbuild.com) to the archive server (something like
archive.archlinux.org).

Git is an awesome SCM, but it was not think to backup stuff, especially
with a big directory tree. My feeling trying to find a previous version
of a PKGBUILD with aur-mirror.git is:
- a very long time to fetch the repository
- a space based dig into changelog to find the right commit for my date
- a long checkout to get the tree at this commit

Having something with faster access and in a similar hierarchy may have
use cases.

No extra cost is expected for mirroring, which is a kind of distributed
backup. I see at least 2 potentials benefits for mirroring:
- Better latency around the world.
- Get our data back in case of disaster recovery.

Of course, I suggest to keep these mirrors separate from our packages
mirrors. Purpose and HW requirement are not the same.

The only complain I get is because this service is not official and rely
on my health.
I had 3 requests:
- One guy for mirroring because of latency.
- One from ArchARM asking to add ARM to their project :)
- One from a guy asking to add AUR support.

Does 2013 cover the whole year? You're suggesting that 2014 will occupy
over 200GB. We'd need new infrastructure for this, and it comes with a
monetary cost we'd need to accomodate (or are you proposing that you'll
be paying for this forever?). Have you looked into how much this would
be per month with a potential provider? How much bandwidth is associated
with this? How long would packages be retained? What about resource

[arch-dev-public] [RFC] Add ARM to archlinux.org

2014-03-24 Thread Sébastien Luttringer
Hello,

As you may know I'm running ARM[1] since the last maintainer resign in
August 2013. I would like to propose its addition into our official
services.

My current suggestion is to keep the current server and hierarchy and to
move it under an archlinux.org subdomain. So far, best suggestions are:
- archive.archlinux.org
- museum.archlinux.org
- rollback.archlinux.org

Current cost in byte is:
# du -hcs 2013 2014
111G2013
55G 2014
165Gtotal

In a second time, we could:
- move the files on an official server
- move installer backups[2]
- add AUR
- backup them (by mirroring or others)

Current used scripts are freely available here[3].

The relation with your box provider is very important and I fully
understand that's a key choice. You don't choose your server only based
on price and technical specs.

I pointed out Kimsufi (OVH) boxes for their low cost because they allow
to split services between hosts instead of having all in a big expensive
server. Smaller boxes with dedicated CPU and unlimited bandwidth. For
example one for forums, one for wiki, etc. Maybe it's an option you
didn't consider for pricing reason.

I'm feeling that you (and probably Pierre too) are more confident with
Hetzner service. Remember that Online.net has a challenging offer which
may interest you if we want diversify or we need a real unlimited
bandwidth, which come with higher storage (like backup or ...).

I share your feeling with the HW RAID, but you could request to
disabling it and use the raid card as an HBA. What I do on this box.

Hi,

A replacement for alderaan would be great as we could easily use more RAM for 
our DB. I'd even say the EX40 with SSDs might be worth a look. That would 
probably solve our forum search issues by brute force. I'd prefer this over 
ECC, but I wouldn't argue if we can pay for both.

As for the current alderaan server: I'd say we cancel this as well and get at 
least an EX40 as build system. It's faster, has better disks and four times the 
RAM. The monthly fee is the same.

Greetings,

Pierre
