Hi there have been some changes on SPI machines in the last days, and I thought I should tell more people about it, someone out there may be interested in this. :)
You can find http://git.spi-inc.org/gitweb/ - a gitweb representation of some git repositories run by SPI. The first repository to note is board.git, which is intended to grow into a place where board members (and project associates) put files related to the SPI workings that don't fit elsewhere. You will see that there is a projects/ subdir, every SPI project *can* store SPI<->project related data there and the project advisor can write into their project's own subdir, not elsewhere. Right now you can only find the SPI letterhead we use as a template for new letters as well as one letter send on behalf of Debian there, but hey, we just started it. As you might have heard in various places already, we want to go away >From our old Plone install and use something else. While the plans for this aren't entirely new, we finally got movement into it, thanks to Bdale and Jonathan. So the website.git is the second repository you can find there. Currently the repository is limited to board members and a group "webteam" to write. The latter can take non-board people, just currently there are none. Read access is again open for the whole world. Should you be interested in write access get in contact with [email protected] - but you probably want to do that after you provided some patches they accepted already. Better is if they plead you to join the group so they can stop merging from you. :) (There is still a lot missing from the old page. Get in contact with webmaster@ or online in #spi (if one happens to be around there) to find out how/if you can help converting.) And finally you can also find something named puppet.git there. This is what we SPI admins use to configure our machines with. Well, it is in development, I just started with it, there are still large chunks of setup to be made part of puppet, but it is already in use, and I intend to have as much as possible done via puppet. Note that we are far from being puppet experts, we usually just hit it, make faces or throw bombs and stones at it until it agrees to do what we want from it, but we give no guarantee for the sanity of what we have there. Still, should you be enough out of your mind to take a look and see something that can be done better, I am always happy to merge changes in. In the same way as above with the webteam, this might be your start of getting into the SPI admin team. :) -- bye, Joerg Naturally; worms that don't know what they are doing end up as fish bait, instead of getting invited into weird math experiments. -- Lars Wirzenius _______________________________________________ Spi-general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.spi-inc.org/listinfo/spi-general
