Hello all,
the moving to hemlock is ready. The only problem was softlinks, which I could not copy. Please create it again (was only a small number).
The OS is now a Debian Testing and I think that the most of us are more familare with linux then with solaris (which is of corse the better OS ;)).
Hemlock is used for run all user-tools. Zedler host "only" the database. So if you run mysql-querys, you run it on zedler from hemlock. For this reason, there is a direct-network-cable between zedler and hemlock. So the new sql-host-name for your tools is "zedler.ts-local".
Because the disc of hemlock is a little bit small, there are only 63GB for all users together. Thats calced ~800MB per person at the moment. I think, that should be enought for the most user. After moving all accounts, 68% of the disc is still free. We plan to move some disc-space from zedler to hemlock later. It should be for "archivedata" like dumps. I plan to use the partion on zedler, which is used for the userdatas at the moment
The backups will be on zedler too.
Hemlock has 8GB-RAM and 2 64-bit Athlons.
There are some other changes: The php.cgi-file is not longer needed, the apache use suphp. I have created a .forward-file (r/w by user, r by mail), for these user, which haven't have one. So you can know use "mail *username*" for writing a eMail to another user
There are new-stuff too of corse. Hemlock has an subversion-daemon (it's a modern cvs-system) for version-controll. I have created a reposory for each user. It can be find in subversion in your home. To access it, you use svn+ssh://hemlock.knams.wikimedia.org/home/*username*/subversion/ (Please google yourself for a howto in your language, if needed). You have read and write-acess to every reposory on hemlock, but I'm hope, that you ask the reposory-owner first, before you write something in his reposory (and crashed it ;) (reading is nevertheless ok). There is a possibility for anonym-reading for everyone (inclusiv non-toolserver-people) too. The adress is just svn://hemlock.knams.wikimedia.org/*username*/subversion/ (without "ssh"). For this reason, you should never insert a password (for mysql or something) in your reposory. The subversion-system is also browsable on http://hemlock.knams.wikimedia.org/websvn/.
A secound newstuff is the bugzilla, which runs on hemlock. The adress is http://hemlock.knams.wikimedia.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/index.cgi. I plan to create a "product" for every user on the toolserver. The specific tools gets "components". These components can created by the owner of the product. Because every user is the owner of his/her product, you can create the components for all your tools yourself. For creation of your product, send your username and the name of one of your projects to bugzilla@hemlock.knams.wikimedia.org. There is also a "product" for the toolserver itself to message the roots about errors and bugs.
The address tools.wikimedia.de will change tomorrow to hemlock, but it can take a while until all user use the new IP.
I'm realy sure, that I had not installed all needed programms. So if you miss one, write me a private eMail or open a bug in the bugzilla (thats prefered).
I personal hope, that you enjoy your new home and that I'm have not made too much mistakes :).
Sincerly, DaB.
