Re: tracking issues and events with maemo.org infra migration#2
 

xes and me modified some broken details around import of users from garage to midgard (www)
The user that used to run that script
for unclear reasons didn't authenticate against midgard anymore

We changed that script so it's
a) safe for publishing now ;-D
and
b) the user "scriptadmin" used now actually does work (I created a dedicated user in midgard for that purpose)
according to /var/log/midgard/garage_sync.log this been broken since
I hope some of the broken stuff around autobuilder/accounts et al will now normalize

Re: tracking issues and events with maemo.org infra migration#2
 

we found a flaw/bug/issue in "core of" maemo.org. Midgard/MidCOM introduced a r/o issue that's incompatible to the old maemo midgard code we run. This had impact to a multitude of maemo.org services since ~2012-12-28.

We're going to apply a patch and see if that gives our beloved infra a good boost towards a decently operating system. Before we do, we need to do complete backups which might cause a few hours of service downtime for everything except this very forum - the actual starting time of service downtime will get pusblished on rather short notice (expect it to happen during next 24h), duration up to a few hours..

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Talking about early,

I'll shutdown garage, www and db in 30 minutes, around 21:15 (GMT+2) for about 2-3 hours.

Re: tracking issues and events with maemo.org infra migration#2
 

Downtime ended, patches applied. Please report on stuff that suddenly works as expected! ;-)

A special extra-bold THANK YOU to freemangordon. Also thanks to Falk, Merlin1991, shawnjefferson.

ps. we're going to have some champagne now, and a fat cigar each! we earned it.

Re: tracking issues and events with maemo.org infra migration#2
 

Unfortunately promotion devel->testing still doesn't work, but it shouldn't be that hard to fix it. Will look at it today(hopefully)

Re: tracking issues and events with maemo.org infra migration#2
 

You certainly deserve it, all of you guys. I'm sending a further donation to techstaff ** for private use ** right now.

Re: tracking issues and events with maemo.org infra migration#2
 

http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...dertest/0.1-2/

:D

Please test if promotion works for those of you who got their packages stuck in extras-devel or extras-testing. Promote the 386 package if armel one is already promoted(and stuck).

Re: tracking issues and events with maemo.org infra migration#2
 

Sent over the mailinglist, repeating it here:

Hi all,

As many of you know Maemo autobuilder and package interface were not fully functional for more than half an year.

I am officially announcing those are back in full service. Please those of you who have packages stuck in extras-devel because promotion was not working, to promote them now. The same goes for those packages that are stuck in extras-testing - promotion to extras should be fine too.

So far I fixed and did test fremantle autobuilder only, I suspect package promotion is still semi-broken for the older distributions. If anyone still has problems with promotion, please inform me - by either sending an email or on #maemo, I will fix it ASAP.

Please, all of you who were using extras-devel as a replacement to extras, disable extras-devel and extras-testing repositories. Now our packages infra is(or at least looks like) functional, we should revert to the way all this is supposed to work. Testers/users - please do your job and vote for the packages in testing. Developers - promote the stuff to extras.

Many, many thanks for the great support I had/have (as autobuilder maintainer) from the other members of the Maemo crew in the course of fixing all the broken bits.

Regards,
Ivo (freemangordon@TMO)

Re: tracking issues and events with maemo.org infra migration#2
 

now that it feels like we changed ship's heading towards the more comfortable shores, I announce an outtime for personal reasons. All account related stuff and hardware maintenance and addons will get handled by warfare aka Falk Stern. In *urgent* cases I'm available via email or other channels for those who know those. Donations are available to those who are entitled to draft from those. The duration of such outtime is undetermined, something between a week and several months. I'm confident maemo.org won't suffer from this measure, which been inevitable and long pending.

Good luck!

Re: tracking issues and events with maemo.org infra migration#2
 

There were some issues with diablo autobuilder/package interface, those should be fixed now.

http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...dertest/0.1-1/

Re: tracking issues and events with maemo.org infra migration#2
 

Yes, I confirm that freemangordon have fixed Maemo autobuilder & Extras Assistant for Maemo 4. The packages appear in Maemo Packages interface, are promoted, etc. I've tested it with python-uncertainties 2.4.1 and python-sympy 0.7.3 packages for Maemo 4.

Thanks freemangordon and all Maemo admin.

Re: tracking issues and events with maemo.org infra migration#2
 

Few days ago tried to install WifiEye application from repos using FAPMan.
It couldn`t be done, because of missing dependency wireless-tools package. I downloaded it manually from "maemo packages" site, installed using dpkg -i and WifiEye installed fine from FAPMan.

How is it possible, that package is not seen in repos but is available via "maemo packages"? Why this package is missing from repos? Is it possible that some other packages are affected too?

Re: tracking issues and events with maemo.org infra migration#2
 

Now, check what repositories you have enabled ;)

Re: tracking issues and events with maemo.org infra migration#2
 

My sources.list from /opt/fapman-cache:

Re: tracking issues and events with maemo.org infra migration#2
 

So? How are FAPMan bugs or whatever and downloads.maemo.NOKIA.com related to the current thread is beyond me, sorry. However, lets not polute this thread with OT posts, please either open a new thread or file a bug against FAPMan. Also keep in mind that certificate for Nokia repo has expired and that might cause problems.

Re: tracking issues and events with maemo.org infra migration#2
 

Is midgard working to edit Maemo.org Download software descriptions ? I am logged as rcolistete but I can't see the "Edit" button.

Re: tracking issues and events with maemo.org infra migration#2
 

It should work. Could you explain where exactly is that supposed to happen? Or join #maemo and ping me to speedup the communication

Re: tracking issues and events with maemo.org infra migration#2
 

Story #1: Midgard maemo config/setup is messed up, it had severe security flaws that iirc came from enabling editing permissions on a top level page that propagated that setting to all child pages, and got "fixed" by removing the rogue permissions from all midgard pages. Alas it seems the rogue escalated permissions overridden the original good permissions and now not a single page has any permissions left over.

Alternative story (if I don't recall the above one correctly): we simply disallowed any midgard menus for normal user accounts to fix that security issue. Alas this had to be done by a midgard expert since there are too many users to handle all of them in broken midgard admin interface - Eero changed that on SQL level and I don't know how to revert it now.

In hindsight it's pretty hard or almost impossible to tell what shall be editable and what not. For example software descriptions: shall user/devel be allowed to edit the description on midgard that will show up in web package interface but most likely will NOT propagate to the package description inside the .dpkg? And even if it would, would it not bypass any checks possibly done during uploading&building the package, thus allowing bogus package descriptions to enter the website?

Re: tracking issues and events with maemo.org infra migration#2
 

SymPy Interactive Shell v0.7.3 is now in Maemo 4 Extras repository, so I want to update its Maemo 4 Download description (which still shows 0.7.1 version). But there is no edit button as before. I'have also tried to "Add New Application" in Maemo 4 Downloads, but it complains there is already a package with the same name.

Re: tracking issues and events with maemo.org infra migration#2
 

Autobuilder got borked again. Packages aren't imported:

http://maemo.org/packages/view/meego...e-nokia-icons/

maemo.org/packages/view/qt-components-10-com.meego-compat/

http://maemo.org/packages/view/qt-co...go-1.1-compat/

Re: tracking issues and events with maemo.org infra migration#2
 

Should be fixed now, will take some time for packages to appear.

The problem was that slang package (which is also in the SDK) got stuck, not allowing the other packages to be processed

what happend to dooble and dillo ?:)

Re: tracking issues and events with maemo.org infra migration#2
 

And what was supposed to happen?

Re: tracking issues and events with maemo.org infra migration#2
 

please don't post to this thread, it's not meant for general chat and not even for bug reports (please send those to bugs.maemo.org, or ping me or warfare or merlin or freemangordon on IRC #maemo, or send a mail to techstaff, in that sequence). I'd like to keep this thread on a "newspaper about maemo.org infra" level, for the sake of those users who want to follow what techstaff is doing.
Thanks

Re: tracking issues and events with maemo.org infra migration#2
 

we sanitized the extras(-*) repo "fremantle" vs "fremantle-1.3" and even "fremantle-1.2" mess.
Should result in updates like KernelPower finally showing up in HAM again.

If you encounter any issues whatsoever, please report on IRC(freenode.net):#maemo (highlight "DocScrutinizer05), or - if you absolutely can't do that - send a mail to techstaff or open a ticket on bugs.maemo.org. Please don't use this thread as a bugtracker! Thanks!

last weekend we had to fight a spam attack on this forum and thus had to disable registration of new accounts. We're working on it.
If you feel you can't wait, please ping me at IRC(Freenode.net):#maemo. We'll find a way to allow registration for you.

Re: tracking issues and events with maemo.org infra migration#2
 

during last few days we did a midgard lib update (no visible effects expected), and a tmo update (better spambot rejection), Chemist on my special request forbid quoting of [img] tags, and aiui we did or will do enabling of registration during next 24h

All accounts locked by accident should be re-enabled by now. Sorry for the inconvenience. If your account is still locked and you think it shouldn't, please ping me at freenode IRC.

Re: tracking issues and events with maemo.org infra migration#2
 

long time no news posted here.
Andre Klapper resigns from maintainer position for bugs.maemo.org (aka "bugmaster").
Thank you Andre for the help during all those years!
This means bugs.maemo.org is an orphaned service now. If anybody is savvy with the system and interested to take over: please send a mail to council at maemo org

That's sad to hear, as I really and honestly appreciated what you have done, while maemo was in crisis. Best wishes

Re: tracking issues and events with maemo.org infra migration#2
 

This board gona blast some day its becoming a tradition of putting spikes under ones chair . this reminds me of someones signature on poisionus people ruining communites as a whole..

Re: tracking issues and events with maemo.org infra migration#2
 

That's very sad to hear indeed. I do as well very much appreciate your work for maemo.

Re: tracking issues and events with maemo.org infra migration#2
 

Yup...not a good thing when people come to loggerheads ...
Too many people going that way.
I know it is just wishful that everybody could get along...
hell I know I've had my moments....still though...

Well...think of it this way.....with your hands and mind off the rudder...
Now... you have time to do more cool stuff with your n900 ...a true fre(e)mantle ...neo900 sorcery....way cooler stuff....better than figuring out protocol at meetings and detailed form-like-stuff in triplicate written in octopus ink on even rarer puffer-fish parchment paper...awful dry that. :D

Re: tracking issues and events with maemo.org infra migration#2
 

Thanks for all your hard work Joerg! It's too bad things ended this way... you stepped in when it seemed the Maemo infrastructure was doomed and helped get everything working so we can still continue to enjoy our devices.

I'm personally worried about the future of the Maemo infrastructure. I hope that the Hildon Foundation and Community Council have concrete plans to keep things stable going forward, and it would be nice to see some public information on these plans.

I would also like to know what, if anything might come out of the shadowy talks that the HF was supposedly having with Nokia. Will we ever get the maemo.org domain name? Will we get legal permission to use the Maemo trademark in limited ways to support this community (as we have in the past)? Will get legal permission to host and distribute non-free parts of the Maemo code-base in our repositories and websites?

Re: tracking issues and events with maemo.org infra migration#2
 

When you bully people, what do you expect?

I left the Board mainly because you were pushing for things to be done your way "or else". It wasn't the first time, nor did I see it as being the last. Given that your way could have resulted in criminal charges to me, I chose the lesser of two evils and walked away while I could.

I appreciate what you've done for the community, I really do. But to lay the blame on others, without taking some of the responsibility for your own conduct, seems disingenuous at best. To accuse others of bullying, when you have been the biggest bully on the block for quite some time? Irony isn't strong enough of a word...

thanks for this off topic and full of lies BS post. Saves me to elaborate on details why I stepped down.
And I don't give a f*ck what you appreciate or don't.
>>be done your way "or else"<< ?? or else the results from me stopping to abuse my private account to do stuff that HiFo was obliged to do will ensue. You're free to call this bullying. Actually you're free to utter almost any BS you like. See next section nevertheless.
BTW don't worry, the only thing you might get prosecuted for is by me for spreading FUD like >>Given that your way could have resulted in criminal charges to me<< about me, and I don't plan to pursue this lost case. Probably even when I would start a application for a restrictive injunction and get a C&D decree that forbids you to continue with publicly implying I did anything illegal, I couldn't enforce it since you seem not responsible for your actions.
