[gentoo-dev-announce] Bugzilla 4 migration

Dear community,

our Bugzilla (bugs.gentoo.org) will be unavailable for the next hours.
We're going to migrate our old Bugzilla to Bugzilla-4.
We expect our update to finish within the next hours.

Some notes:
SSL is enabled by default now, so it's forced. Unfortunately the
option to force SSL *only* for logged in user is no longer available in
Bugzilla-4.x. It has been added in early 3.x AFAIR and later replaced by
forcing SSL at all or not.
If *anybody* can't use SSL for any reason please yell so that we can
decide if we leave it as it is (plain + encrypted) or not.

All custom/Gentoo patches will be available *later* in a git repo[1].
So if you'd like to fix something or improve the theme you can
contribute patches.
Thanks to Alex Legler (a3li) for the Bugzilla theme.

All completed now. If you run into any problems, please file a new bug
under the Bugzilla product.

I'm sending this email as idl0r went to be after 8+ hours straight of
working on the new Bugzilla setup.

We apologize for this taking so extremely long.

Things didn't go so well at the database layer [1], and that hugely
increased the migration time. 

The Gentoo for the Bugzilla service went perfectly, a huge thanks to
idl0r for the years of work he has put into them.

The forcing is temporarily disabled now until we fix a possible related
performance issue, per bug 357711.

Footnotes:
[1] We discovered a potential MySQL bug with replication, where the
slaves end up truncating mediumtext columns to 1024 characters when done
with REPLACE INTO and GROUP_CONCAT. Will pursue with upstream this week.
This was only noted with mk-table-checksum, and we decided to just redo
replication from the master that was used for introducing the schema
changes. This added 3.5 hours onto the end of the migration :-(.
