Hi everyone,
As you probably read from CT's email last week about the Eqiad migration (you read that, right? No? Go read it. I'll wait)
Ok, done now? So, as you know (now), we plan to suspend all scheduled deployments next week during the data center migration (January 21-25). We'd like to keep the number of moving parts to a minimum, thus we'd like to avoid changing anything unless necessary.
That said, we are contemplating leaving the Wednesday window for 1.21wmf8 to non-Wikipedia in place as a means of testing deployments themselves. Unlike previous core deployments (which are pretty routine), we're reserving the right not to have that deployment, and may delay the already-revised deployment calendar one more week if things are still messy on Wednesday. I'm guessing that the odds of that deployment happen are pretty low (I'll say "20%" based on aerial extraction).
So, to reiterate the plan with respect to deployments over the next couple of weeks:
January 14-15 (Mon-Tue): deployments from fenari to Tampa cluster using scap/sync-file/sync-dir as normal. January 16 (Wed): 1.21wmf8 deployed to test, test2, and mediawiki.org January 16-18 (Wed-Fri): 1.21wmf8 deployments using git-deploy from fenari January 17 (Thu): Brown bag with Ryan Lane and Chris Steipp to talk about git-deploy January 21 (Mon): Deployment freeze (and U.S. holiday) January 22-25 (Tue-Fri): Deployment freeze January 23 (Wed): MAYBE 1.21wmf8 deployment to some or all non-Wikipedia sites.
I hope this all makes sense. Questions/comments/concerns?
Rob
