Hi, So we got a new box (nymeria) and I'd like to move core/extra/community/multilib/testing/.. repos + svn over there. Setup overview / changes: - create shell accounts for every user, but only allow certain commands to be executed (dbscripts, rsync) - move the svn2git conversion script to nymeria and let gudrun sync the repo periodically for cgit - let archweb sync the needed database files periodically - integrity check will run on nymeria - postfix for @archlinux.org and @aur.archlinux.org: see below [postfix] - did I miss something? Benefits: - more trustful/locked-down system (could be useful for db signing) - 1TB of disk space (~900GiB for packages) - 100Mbit/s uplink - all packages on one box so if we do a big move, extra and community can be synced without admin intervention if dbscripts support that - gerolde won't run much (anything?) any more so it could potentially be merged back into gudrun/host system Drawbacks (kind of): - no more shell accounts for browsing the repo (brynhild can be used for that) - different network latency (gudrun is located in the US, nymeria in Germany) - users can no longer <s>mess up</s> change the repo db manually (no idea if that's still valid, but it happened a few years ago) [postfix]: We can move both domains to nymeria and let users change the forward destination themselves (need to make sure that you can't run arbitrary commands) or just appoint an admin that takes care of changing the destination since that shouldn't happen too often. In the second case we can keep them on gudrun/sigurd or move them where ever we want. Comments welcome. -- Florian Pritz
