Re: [GENERAL NOTICE] Service Downtime
 

To whoever is able to fix this: the box at 188.117.59.198 (test.maemo.org) keeps trying to send me stuff from <www-data@wiki_and_bugs.maemo.org>, while advertising itself as mail.maemo.org. That is broken on so many levels :-(

[2013-02-24 01:41:32] <DocScrutinizer05> I seem to have complained about this some several weeks ago, nobody found my report worth investigating
[2013-02-24 01:59:20] <DocScrutinizer05> I bet that's the reason why wiki and bugs are not sending any (deliverable) notification mail to me anymore
[2013-02-24 02:20:10] <DocScrutinizer05> [Thu 24 January 2013] [08:32:39] <DocScrutinizer05> wow, I just received a mail for council@m.o; thought lists.m.o and test.m.o (why is mail routed thru this machine?) were down
[2013-02-24 02:23:16] <DocScrutinizer05> [Thu 24 January 2013] [08:33:21] <mashiara> lists is the machine that handles all mail routing
[2013-02-24 02:23:16] <DocScrutinizer05> [Thu 24 January 2013] [08:33:31] <mashiara> since it will have to do that anyway

Re: [GENERAL NOTICE] Service Downtime
 

That's helpful, thanks.

For somebody with a N900 (not a N9) then all that would be needed for firmware is the portion under /srv/firmware not under /srv/firmware/N9/ ?

Also, any tutorials somewhere to create a local mirror?

Re: [GENERAL NOTICE] Service Downtime
 

I am tired ... why can't I find and download items I know exist in repository ?

i am looking for x11vnc and i've been looking for it in the entire site but it's hiding somwhere I can't tell where .

all of the problems I have are mainly because I can't install applications as i could before . FAPMAN and HAM are not working when I try to install some applications , when it happens I search the entire site to find the thing I want , download it , connect my phone to the PC and copy the file , next open the file ( .deb ) and find out some goddamn dependency is myssing !?!

am I the only one with this problem ?
or , is there an easy way to fix this problems that I have ?
thanks!

Re: [GENERAL NOTICE] Service Downtime
 

To some things, yes. To other things, not so much. While we have some access to some of the devices, it's far from full control.

Let's also not forget that a lot of this stuff used to live in a very different structure than it does now (before migration), and most of it was highly augmented to do what it does. It's not just apt-get-ing a repo package and starting services. There's lots of custom bits that are now half working. The hashsum issue is a clear example of that. There are scripts one can normally run to rebuild those indexes. But when done, something else is coming along and breaking things again. Tracking down what that is can be difficult, especially when one has limited access.

That's been true off and on for a while now, and is another source of headache entirely. The problem is that a lot of the custom tweeks are only fully understood by folks at Nemein, since they've been the ones running/admin-ing it for the past decade.

Doing a knowledge transfer on all of that would be tough enough to do in a couple weeks if we all had 8 hours a day to sit together in a room. Harder still when we're scattered across the globe, in different time zones, and all have day jobs to attend to as well.

Re: [GENERAL NOTICE] Service Downtime
 

Thanks Woody. I understand it's not going to be a smooth transition, but I believe with the help of some of the smart folks in our community, we'll get it all up and running smoothly again.

And hopefully documented. ;)

Unable to update via HAM/FAM
 

The last update I have made was the one: 21.2011.38-1Smaemo6 (10.01.2013). Since this time I could't update the repos. I didn't change anything, except to disable the nokia repos.
What shall I do to get HAM / FAM working again?

Re: [GENERAL NOTICE] Service Downtime
 

I have the same problem of Anab. I can't reach the repositories also on browser. Are there new problems with repository.maemo.org?
