Please move bugs-related scripts to merkel.debian.org
As many of you will know, master.debian.org has been suffering from serious disk space problems for some time. We moved the bug tracking system to the new machine spohr.debian.org a little while ago, but, since spohr is a restricted machine, master has continued to host a mirror of the BTS for use by developers for automatic analysis, research, third-party services, and general poking around. The disk space problems haven't been getting much better, though. There is now another mirror of the BTS, on merkel.debian.org. You should be able to move your scripts to it without too much difficulty; if you do have problems (i.e. you need something else to be mirrored), please contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] Administrative details: the mirror is updated every fifteen minutes, immediately following each processall run. Note that the bug index files (index.db and index.archive) and the bug files themselves may be out of sync with each other for brief periods of time during the mirroring process. For most applications, this should only matter for new bugs and when old bugs are being expired into the archive. I'd like to decommission the BTS mirror on master about this time next month if at all possible, so swift action on this from affected developers would be greatly appreciated.

/org/ftp.debian.org mirror on merkel
Hello, As some of you may have noticed, merkel has slowly been growing a mirror of the /org/ftp.debian.org/* structure that used to be available to all developers on ftp-master. Since ftp-master is on a restricted host (newraff) a mirror was needed and merkel was chosen to host it. The mirror is very new and we expect one or two teething problems; however the important thing is that there is now a proper projectb database[1] accessible on a developer-access machine (thus tools like madison will work again). The mirror is being updated once per hour initially. We will adjust this interval up or down depending on how it seems to behave. The projectb is updated once per day, directly after the install run, to reflect the day's changes in the archive. Please note that the /org/ftp.debian.org/ftp/ tree (the actual archive mirror) is updated with the standard mirror updates and as such may be slightly out of sync with the projectb for a few minutes after the install run completes. If you have any issues with, or questions about, this mirror, please contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks, Daniel Silverstone pp. The Debian archive maintenance team. [1] The projectb database stores all the metadata about the packages in the Debian archive. It contains what versions of what packages are in what suites for what architectures; and much much more. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
Klecker Home Directories moved
I have moved all home directories that don't belong on klecker anymore
to gluck. If you find a file klecker-home-${logname}.tar.bz2 in your
home directory on gluck, that's the old home directory from klecker
before we faced the break-in in November last year.
Please inspect it and remove the parts you don't need anymore.
This refers to summarised 6.5 GB of uncompressed and 4.7 GB of
compressed data. This is *cough* quite a lot, but klecker was
restricted before you had a chance to clean up your home directories.
However, this also refers to 739 accounts, so nearly everybody
involved in the project used the account on klecker.
Regards,
Joey
