Bamboo upgrade to 2.0.2

Thu, 08 May 2008 06:10:48 -0500

An upgrade to Bamboo will occur at the listed time.

This is to deal with some severe memory leak issues we’re facing.

Fisheye 1.5.1 upgrade

Fri, 02 May 2008 16:13:39 -0500

Fisheye will be upgraded to 1.5.1 this evening.

Disk usage

Thu, 01 May 2008 16:00:38 -0500

We’re on a collision course with running out of space on codehaus03 (the grunty server with all your artifacts).

To that end, we will be pruning SNAPSHOT distribution and SNAPSHOT repositories over the weekend.

This pruning will progressively remove older artifacts until we have appropriate breathing space.

Please contact us if you have any questions / concerns.

Bamboo instability

Thu, 01 May 2008 15:58:24 -0500

We are aware of the Bamboo instability under the new strain of new users.

We’re working with Atlassian to get the bugs fixed and a new version deployed, but it will be a week or two.

Continuous Integration

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 15:40:14 -0500

Codehaus is mostly excited to now offer integrated continuous integration services.

This service is provided by a Contegix managed server in our core network.

There are several things that still remain to be improved, but you are free to start making requests in JIRA for assistance setting up plans etc.

Please subscribe to discuss@codehaus.org if you wish to discuss new capabilities / requirements from CI (e.g. pushing snapshot artifacts across to the distribution / repository servers)

CI Server Provisioned

Tue, 15 Apr 2008 15:46:31 -0500

The new server for continuous integration has been built.

We will be loading the required software (Bamboo and Hudson) onto it over the next few days.

Bamboo is loaded, however needs quite a bit of tweaking to build properly

We will be addressing the Bamboo configuration over next 2 days

CI Services

Mon, 07 Apr 2008 15:26:54 -0500

We have a new CI server being provisioned. Stay tuned for more news!

CI server down and out

Fri, 04 Apr 2008 04:45:50 -0500

Bamboo (cheddar.codehaus.org) is offline.

(Background: Continuous Integration was not a core offering for a long time. As such we left it on a non-Contegix machine. We were getting closer to bringing it inside Contegix, but did not currently have funding for that. This is the risk of using donated hardware in unknown datacentres.)

UPDATE The machine hosting Bamboo was taken offline as part of datacentre maintenance. It will be brought back online to transfer the data, but will not be offering build services.

Continuous Integration services will be hosted within Contegix once we acquire appropriate funding for it.

Please contact support@codehaus.org if you wish to sponsor CI services.

Bamboo down and out

Fri, 04 Apr 2008 04:45:50 -0500

Bamboo (cheddar.codehaus.org) is offline.

We have no ETA on it coming back online, or what state it will be in when it gets back

codehaus01 upgrade

Sun, 23 Mar 2008 15:58:15 -0500

codehaus01 is getting a RAM upgrade to help cope with all the code you irresponsible people keep committing (JIRA and FishEye are straining!)

Should only be a 30 minute outage.

Unless they get Captain Static to install it…

March (Archives) outage

Sat, 22 Mar 2008 22:14:29 -0500

March is being taken down for an upgrade of the PostgreSQL database that it runs on.

Best and most likely return is 5am.

The exact return time is unpredictable due to the large amount of data being migrated.

In the meantime; use http://codehaus.markmail.org/ for most of your mail archive needs!

Xircles Outage

Sat, 22 Mar 2008 22:13:03 -0500

Xircles is being taken down for an upgrade of the PostgreSQL database that it runs on.

Best and most likely return is 2am.

JIRA Upgrade to 3.12.2

Wed, 19 Mar 2008 06:37:05 -0500

JIRA will be upgraded to 3.12.2 to fix some glitches in the behaviour with Safari and keep us up-to-date with the latest version.

yDoc 3.0 licence

Tue, 18 Mar 2008 07:01:25 -0500

yWorks has graciously updated our license for yDoc to version 3.0.

We hope it comes in handy for some of your projects!

FishEye outage

Fri, 14 Mar 2008 18:02:25 -0500

FishEye will be upgraded to the latest version to get us ready for reporting some stability problems we’re having (or potentially fix them)

Bamboo upgrade

Sun, 09 Mar 2008 19:19:29 -0500

We will be upgrading Bamboo to correct some memory leaks and outages we’ve been experiencing.

(If anyone wants to sponsor a Contegix server for continuous integration services and make it part of our core infrastructure, then please raise your hand to support@codehaus.org!)

We also have some changes in the pipeline to allow publishing of artifacts into the project snapshot repository etc.

UPDATE The upgrade is still in progress, we’re moving to 2.0 beta 4 as it corrects some memory leaks we’re experiencing.

Unfortunately the XML export is broken in 1.2.4 and data cleanup is required.

UPDATE

After a lot of painful search and replace to fix an XML error; the import loaded. Bamboo is now “running”.

Websites

Fri, 29 Feb 2008 16:57:35 -0600

We’re having a few integration issues between Unity and Confluence (the new version).

Problems we’ve seen:

stack traces being displayed to user
pages not refreshing
pages not updating after being changed

Should have it all sorted out very soon.

UPDATE: All sorted

For some reason the system switched back to the Resin XML parser that doesn’t work the way we need it to. Now fixed.

UPDATE: All sorted now!

Ok, there were a few more glitches due to an upgrade of some java libraries as well. These are also fixed now.

Email addresses

Mon, 25 Feb 2008 06:22:59 -0600

In order to combat a rise of spam with invalid email addresses (you’d think they’d at least get that right!); we’ve instituted additional email validation rules.

Some of these rules may be against the RFC, however we’ve checked that all seemingly valid addresses in our system can still be used.

If you experience difficulties, please contact us at support@codehaus.org

MarkMail

Sat, 16 Feb 2008 16:15:40 -0600

As some of you are aware, we’ve started indexing lists into MarkMail.

While Xircles doesn’t currently point users across at the MarkMail archives, this will occur in the near future.

You can search the > 400K Codehaus mails from one convenient interface at http://codehaus.markmail.org/

Confluence Outage

Thu, 14 Feb 2008 02:31:36 -0600

There will be a Confluence outage from

February 16, 2008 1 AM CST to February 16, 2008 4 AM

We will be upgrading Confluence to the latest version; we do not expect the outage to take that long; but want breathing space to iron out issues.

This outage will also affect Unity powered sites (we’re currently upgrading Unity to better cope with a Confluence outage)
