Reply-To: geeklog-devel at lists.geeklog.net

Ok, here is what I learned.

First, I was patching the server a few days ago.  Nothing directly 
related to CVS but during the process the original /etc/group got 
overwritten.  I thought I had forgotten the root password but it turns 
out because of not belonging to wheel, I couldn't su to root.  Long 
story short, I had to ssh in as root (which I never usually do) and add 
the cvs_group back along with the assigned users.

That said, it is fixed.

Tony,

Unfortunately not :-(

cvs update: failed to create lock directory for `/var/cvs/geeklog-1.3' (/
var/cvs/geeklog-1.3/#cvs.lock): Permission denied
cvs update: failed to obtain dir lock in repository `/var/cvs/geeklog-1.3'
cvs [update aborted]: read lock failed - giving up

Yeah, it was because I put "daun" insted of "dhaun" in /etc/group.  Try 
again.

Subject: [geeklog-devel] System patching started
Reply-To: geeklog-devel at lists.geeklog.net

While I was in patching things I've decided to do a system-wide update 
on the server hosting CVS.  This affects 77 packages, all of which will 
be compiled from source and will probably take some time.  If you notice 
performance issues, it will more than likely be because the CPU's will 
be nearly pegged at 100% during some compilations.

After this is done I plan to finally upgrade project.geeklog.net to use 
the latest stable gForge software which will be followed by finally 
configuring postfix for mail.  I'm saving the mail portion for last as 
that requires migrating all the mailman stuff and moving the archives over.

Fire over any questions, if any.

Sounds like a lot of work.

Tony what do you use to generate the diff's we get in the CVS notifications.
I am setting up a linux CVS server.

Reply-To: geeklog-devel at lists.geeklog.net

The project database will be temporarily unavailable.  Gentoo's portage 
system requires that I back up all databases (gl2_gforge) and remove the 
database directory (/var/lib/postgresql).  I have preformed the update 
and copied it to my server at home just in case something really bad 
happens (doubtful).

I will bring it back up as soon as the updates complete.

Tony,

the cronjob for the nightly tarball had the same problem:

cvs update: failed to create lock directory for `/var/cvs/geeklog-1.3' (/
var/cvs/geeklog-1.3/#cvs.lock): Permission denied
cvs update: failed to obtain dir lock in repository `/var/cvs/geeklog-1.3'
cvs [update aborted]: read lock failed - giving up

It's doing an anonymous checkout. Can you check that, please? Thanks.

bye, Dirk

K, fixed.  I even tested to ensure anonymous couldn't write.

The CVS server will not be able to send email starting now and going 
until I get postfix up-to-date.  I will notify everyone when it is back up.
