Comment (by anarcat): Okay, so what's the plan then? Supporting chuiwi is going to get harder and harder. We can probably afford to do so a little longer, but things are going to progressively break as we go along. Mow it's backups: there *might* be a way to backport things to chiwui to make them work, but it will be a waste of time if we get this fixed otherwise later anyways. But other things might break in the future as well... For now, I've "acknowledged" the backups warnings in Nagios for this host, which means we will not fix backups for this host in the short term. I assume this is okay-ish: the older backups (from april 23rd) are still there and from what I understand the contents on that host are not changing (it's the problem we're trying to solve!). Could the problem be split in two? Maybe "check" can be upgraded and not the other? Or are the two services as critical and inter-dependent? For the record, someone mentioned "Docker" as a solution here, and I somehow disagree: it would certainly shift the burden of maintaining the jessie box away from us (TPA) but we would *still* have to maintain *some* environment with the older Haskell, which is the problem we're trying to solve in the first place. It would allow us to upgrade the box and resume backups, so it's a possible alternative in the mid term, but it just shifts the upgrade problem under a container veil. I'm worried it would make us just forget about it and create another liability. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/29399#comment:3> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
