Codehaus News
Email is currently backed up due to DNS issues (that mean we can’t use the spamhaus DNS RBL). You WILL receive your email; but it might take some time.
We are also aware of the issues in resending the verification messages and will be fixing that later today.
Please be patient – and blame the spammers (and an almost perfect storm)
We’re upgrading docs.codehaus.org to run on Tomcat to try and resolve some out-of-memory issues.
The outage should be far less than 2 hour.
Unity powered sites should be unaffected by the outage.
We now have a PostgreSQL database on the build server.
Raise a chore to get databases / users created for your builds.
There is an outage on the mail archive due to a data migration failure.
This is being repaired by Contegix and everything should be online at the end of this outage.
In the interim, you can use http://codehaus.markmail.org/ for all your archive needs.
You can now subscribe to an ical feed of outages and other time based events.
This capability will be rolled out Xircles wide at some point (so projects can schedule events etc).
For the main outage feed; point your calendar at:
webcal://xircles.codehaus.org/ical
or

Any issues; let us know – support hat codehaus.org
(we think we’ve nailed all the timezone issues; but who knows)
Confluence will be upgraded to version 2.8
Start: July 5, 2008 03:00 AM (CDT -0500)
Finish: July 5, 2008 08:00 AM (CDT -0500)
Sites that use the Confluence back-end (“Unity” powered) will remain available during this outage.
Apparently there are some minor theming issues with 2.8; so if you have made theme edits in Confluence (only a handful of projects); please check your sites to ensure they display correctly after the update (as we may not notice certain nuances).
(This is a repeat outage after a failure last week; we have successfully upgraded into a staging environment and corrected the issues that caused failures last week)

Outage window extended – upgrade proceeding well but slowly
Upgrade failed; issues have been escalated to Atlassian and we’ll try again next weekend
The Xircles upgrade is now complete; with almost all functionality back in working order.
If you receive an error page from Xircles; you do not need to notify us as we are automatically emailed all the details and will be working on fixing it as time permits.
The changes that were made are mostly internal and will allow us to support a distributed VCS like Git / Mercurial in the near future.
These changes also allow us to support multiple repositories for a single project (an extension of the “contrib” concept). This will be of use to many projects that have requested this feature in the past.
Xircles will be upgraded this evening; taking out various services while the upgrade and data migrations complete.
Start: June 21, 2008 04:00 AM -0500 (CDT)
Finish: June 21, 2008 08:00 AM -0500 (CDT)
Subversion will be the most noticably affected system; commit access will be interrupted while LDAP is resynchronised.
FishEye is currently experiencing some “issues”. This is being actively pursued by Atlassian who have identified some bugs that were causing instability.
We have been given a workaround (disabling the tarball downloads); and should have a patched version of FishEye in the near future.
