Обсуждение: Finally, the end of a nightmare ...
After almost 3 weeks without a proper internet connection, this morning I got high speed cable installed in our new residence, and this evening, I finally got the backup server back online ... Apologies to those using gborg for how long it has taken to get things back online ... the temporary internet connection we were able to get the server onto was reporting ~3 days of constant upload to get gborg uploaded ... the new net connection took 5 hours ... I will be working tomorrow on getting gborg back up and running ... this will be put onto the 64bit server, so that it can be easily moved to the new HP server that arrived while I was offline ... There *was* a lose of data with this crash, unfortunately, so I hope those on the slony project have backups of any commits made over the ~2 week period *before* the server crashed ... once it goes onto the 64bit server, the redundant local backup will be re-enabled, but since we were at the end of moving off of 4.x, the redundant server option wasn't working, and with the backup server down while we moved, offsite backups were temporarily offline when neptune crashed :( Will post once gborg is back online ... ---- Marc G.

I think we are covered for most everything *except* gborg at this time ;( And we all know gborg needs to be merged into pgfoundry :) JoshB, do you know if pgfoundry is being duplicated over to that new server in any way, just in case something does happen? ---- Marc G.

Not on an active basis -- remember, there's the whole 32/64 bit thing. Let's re-rsync the files, and then set up some kind of daily DB copy. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco

http://gforge.org/ http://gforge.org/frs/download.php/219/gforge-4.5.11.tar.bz2 being the latest release, still has COPYING which says it's a GNU licensed package.

'k, will investigate this one further ... one of the name servers (ns3.hub.org) doesn't seem to be running for some reason, but the other 2 are all reporting fine, as are the two lerctr.org name servers :( >> JoshB, do you know if pgfoundry is being duplicated over to that new >> server in any way, just in case something does happen? > > Not on an active basis -- remember, there's the whole 32/64 bit thing. Let's > re-rsync the files, and then set up some kind of daily DB copy. pgfoundry.org has been 64bit since it was upgraded to FreeBSD 6.x way back when ... I thought you knew that? :( We should setup *at least* a daily rsync of the whole vServer so that there is an easy to access backup ... DB needs to be moved into the vServer yet too, which will improve its performance ... I will most likely look into that next week, once I get a desk to work at again ... ---- Marc G.

Oh, I didn't realize this was public yet. Tim Perdue had let me know confidentially what he was planning to do with the next version of GF, now being called GF Advanced. The basic issue is that he wants to make some money (imagine that) and isn't very good at managing corporate sponsorships. Hence, the fork for license revenue. The version we use is unaffected. For that matter, Tim would happily give us a free perpetual license for GF advanced if we wanted it. It's a complete refactor of the code base. GF-GPL, with security patches, will continue to exist but don't expect it to advance much. Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco 415-752-2500
