Sysadmin Quickies

Last weeks, a couple of things happened in the KDE sysadmin area, just some small updates:

  • Eike Hein, Ingo Malchow and Jeff Mitchell are now part of the sysadmin team too. Account creation was already fast, and with the addition of these folks, it has become even faster. All day-to-day business, should be quick and painless now.
  • We hang around at #kde-sysadmin on irc, so if you want to talk to us, feel free to hop in, although we often will request creating a sysadmin bugreport, so that there is an archive.
  • The l10n-server has been replaced by new hardware and a new hosting location. Mainly known as ‘scripty’ by most of you.
  • The SVN-server has been replaced by new hardware. It was a difficult move which was pending for a while. In the end Dirk was forced to move to the new server due to hosting difficulties on very short notice.
  • anonsvn has become more reliable as we have a new anonsvn mirror. This now means we don’t get into trouble as soon as one is down.

Apart from these items, i want to say something about the kde-common/accounts file. This one is maybe more important than you think. If you ever want to replace your ssh key or your password (https users) then you are requested to file a sysadmin bugreport. If you can not file that report with the username (= emailaddress) which matches your email address in the accounts file, that request will be denied.

So, it’s time to check if your data is still correct and updated it if needed!
