12.1 update repository changes

February 20th, 2012 by

Teams from the openSUSE Buildservice and openSUSE Maintenance worked together since weeks now to integrate openSUSE distribution maintenance support into the Buildservice on build.opensuse.org.

There were a lot of changes and a lot of places had to be adapted, but finally they got it working: maintenance updates for openSUSE 12.1 are now handled inside the openSUSE Buildservice without further need of SUSE internal scripts (well: we still will have some of them running as backup for a while now).

As a lot of people were involved in this task and a lot of code has been written, some smaller bugs might still be included, even if everyone tries to avoid failures. One of the most visible bugs was the unsigned 12.1 update repository from 2012-02-18 until 2012-02-19: the reason was a sync script that tried to pull the repository from a wrong location where the signing was not yet done with the new setup.  We apologize for the trouble and irritation caused and really appreciate all the reports from our users about that broken repository – as this shows the high amount of interest and knowledge about the security impact such an unsigned repository has.

build.opensuse.org binary backend was down

January 14th, 2012 by

Working to fix the problem...

The SAN array of the backend server server lost 3 hard disks over the weekend.

That means the array with the built RPMs was broken. We checked and replaced a lot of files from backups – but since not all binary parts of the projects are in backup we need to rebuild some of them (31 from 24,194) afterwards.

The good news: sources and project configurations were affected by this.

Maintenance downtime Thursday 2011-11-24

November 23rd, 2011 by

We need some maintenance downtime to work on the following issues:

  • Failed geekofix storage problems on Build Service machines
  • increase network subnet mask for external available servers (means: we are growing ;-)
  • exchange some SSL certificates on servers delivering content via HTTPS

We are trying to get everything done during the standard infrastructure window:

Thursday (2011-11-24), 08:00 – 10:00 CET (7:00 -9:00 UTC)

but some services might need a bit longer (for example the schedulers of the Build Service).

Please contact admin@opensuse.org with any queries.
Your openSUSE Admins

September 6th, 2011 by

The OBS-Team is going to replace some backend servers on next Tuesday.

Therefore, a downtime is scheduled from 08:00 to 11:00 CEST, altough we believe it won’t take that long (but you never know) :-)

Afterwards, the OBS should be prepared for all the awesome packager workshops happening during the openSUSE Conference.

World IPv6 Day Results

June 9th, 2011 by

IPv6 Badge

Yesterday was World IPv6 Day and openSUSE participated in it. We hope the experiment was as successful for the other participants as it was for us!

Here is a short status update from the openSUSE infrastructure. openSUSE has currently two major server locations and we tested IPv6 at both separately.  Note that there are more openSUSE infrastructure locations, including the server which runs the popular planet.opensuse.org (which supports IPv6 as well now)! (more…)

Mailinglist and Features Server down for filesystem check

May 26th, 2011 by

Sorry, but we expect our main mailing-lists server (lists.opensuse.org) and our features server (features.opensuse.org) to stay down for some more minutes than expected: the systems reported a file system corruption and running a file system check right now.

Expected recovery time: Thu May 26 12:00:00 CEST 2011

We apologize for any inconvenience.
