[Biojava-dev] RE: [Biojava-l]

[Schreiber, Mark]

Hi, 

There where serious issues with dev.open-bio.org. I have copied in some
info that Chris Dag sent out earlier. Follow the instructions in there
and it should all work again.

We have had a hardware problem with our primary developer server 
"dev.open-bio.org" which is where all of our CVS source-code 
repositories reside.

The problem is fixable but requires someone in our Boston datacenter to 
swap disk drives around. This has not been possible due to the bad-luck 
combination of a national US holiday on Monday and the recent massive 
snow storm covering the Eastern US.  All the while,  a large number of 
our developers are sitting in Singapore with no way to commit the code 
we have been working on back into the repositories.

After some debate it was decided that the least painful way to get our 
developers back up as quickly as possible was to relocate  our primary 
source-code repositories to a different server.

NOTE:
This move  affects OBF developers only;  All users of ANONYMOUS CVS and 
the http://cvs.open-bio.org server are unaffected and can ignore this 
email.

The new server for all Open-Bio affiliated developers is: 
'pub.open-bio.org'

The CVSROOT is still '/home/repository'

All developer user accounts have been recreated; however existing user 
passwords were not migrated. Developers will need to contact our 
sysadmin team at root-l at open-bio.org in order to receive server access 
information.

People who have checked-out repositories who wish to avoid having to 
perform a fresh checkout from pub.open-bio.org can use the following 
perl one-liner to swap server data inside their CVS directories:

> find . -name 'Root' -type f -exec perl -i -p -e 's/dev\./pub\./' {} \;

Anyone with questions/comments can contact the Open Bio sysadmin team 
at 'root-l at open-bio.org'

Regards,
Chris Dagdigian
