[gentoo-dev] Upcoming Infra maintenance/downtimes: anon{cvs,svn,git}, archives, bouncer, overlays

[Robin H. Johnson]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1337 bytes --]

Hi folks,

Infra is working on a bunch of things lately, and there are going to be
changes or brief outages for the following services (this is pretty much
the order they are being worked on).

anonvcs.gentoo.org: anoncvs, anonsvn, anongit
- Moving between machines
- Anonymous SVN is changing from http:// to svn:// [1]

archives.gentoo.org:
- Moving between machines
- Update of some missing mail

bouncer.gentoo.org:
- Moving between machines
- Maybe upgrade at the same time?

overlays.gentoo.org [3]:
- Moving between machines
- Git service is already on the new machine
- Anonymous SVN is changing from http:// to svn://
- Trac being replaced [2]

Footnotes:
1. You do not need to do a new checkout at all, you can use the
following command to update your SVN repos:
svn switch --relocate \
http://anonsvn.gentoo.org/repositories/$REPO \
svn://anonsvn.gentoo.org/$REPO

2. Trac doesn't scale well enough, as users of the existing overlay
machine have noted performance problems before. Being replaced with
ViewVC and as yet undecided which Wiki application.

3. I'll send another notification closer to the overlays
work/switchover.

First and foremost: thanks for the work!

Would it be possible to have a transition period of 1 or 2 months for
the svn repo move?  The main problem for me is that Prefix users are on
a Portage tree from overlays (in SVN), which means if this switch is
done without transition they cannot update (emerge --sync) any more.
While this will result in some mail/bug activity, it might also leave
other people in the dark, ending up (needlessly) rebootstrapping.

If a transition period would be available, I could make Portage
alarm users to fix the SYNC variable to reflect the new URL.  I also
need to add/fix/change Portage's support for this new URL scheme.

You're syncing directly from overlays SVN-HTTP? I hope not with the sync
frequency of some of the other users out there.

As you support SVN already, you should just need to change the URL
(since you are just handing it to SVN), and run svn switch. But ok, I'll
give you 30 days for /repositories/alt/ once the new overlays box has
SVN. (Combined with a suitably large warning in the SVN browse view).

As a migration help, I have enabled the svn:// protocol on the old
overlays box, so you can make a start on getting your users converted.

I have no other option, do I?  I requested rsync in some bug a while ago
with one of the reasons to reduce overlays' load.

The problem is that emerge --sync obfuscates that SVN is being used
underneath.  Some (most?) users will not have a clue they are using SVN.

Thanks, I'll priorise on that to get it rolling.  Thanks a lot!

Not really doable at the moment (but after some of the other pending
infra stuff, it is up for handling).

How about rolling out a prefix-portage update that just kicks them into
updating it?

i'd point out that http:// syncing is usable from behind firewalls while 
svn:// is not ... while this does not affect me personally, it's something to

That's exactly what I asked the transition period for.  I'll do this
asap.  I only need the little period for people to catch up and do it.
As long as the majority switches, it's all fine.

Since you enabled svn:// on the old box, I can already roll a version
out this weekend, so people are told to switch.  At the same time I can
update the bootstrap images/snapshot and scripts to use the new scheme,
and install a prefix-portage that uses/supports the new scheme.

Thanks.

We do want to migrate the content, either by just putting up static
snapshots, or actively moving it.
dokuwiki is a contender at the moment, because the Java guys already use
it, and I have a personal interest in MediaWiki (as I've hacked on that
codebase before) - but either way, this is quite a way further down my
list of things to do, at least 2 weeks away at this point.

Just wanted to note this too... I am one of the affected ones...
I think that it is very important to have http, and even https for
formal resources.
git://, svn://, rsync:// or ssh+X:// are inaccessible for a large
group of users.

Also using none secured protocols, exposes users to man-in-the-middle attacks.

Alon Bar-Lev.

My core concern with the SVN http://, was the crappy performance it
provided compared to svn://. The main rsync tree has never been
available for iterative syncing via http://, just had tarball snapshots
and deltas instead.

> Also using none secured protocols, exposes users to man-in-the-middle attacks.
The existing http:// had this problem already, it's not a new one.
git:// and svn:// do both have patches around adding support for adding
TLS. This however just adds overhead, I really need to finish the
tree-signing work I was doing, as that protects the content better (MITM
is still possible on SSL without it, just a lot harder as an attacker
has to deal with the SSL stream first).

If I understand correctly, the performance of svn under apache is
better than the svnserver, the same for git... Well... This is only
for my experience.
In git case, apache is used to transfer files, and it is much better
in this than the most available alternatives.
In svn case, apache provides the concurrency missing from svnserve.

Even if tree signing will be available, the developers should work in
secured channel... ssh or https... The users will benefit from the
signing and not require secured channel.

Until signing will be available, I think it is very important for us
to provide reliable source.

We are talking about read-only anonymous repository, right?
But I will take your word for it :)

Umm, I think you've got things a bit reversed here.
The core problem with using both SVN and Git over HTTP, is the number of
round trips required. Git provides the best example, if the server side
isn't already packed, each object needs to get fetched individually.
Whereas the git:// protocol effectively sends 'I have rev XYZ, give me
everything up to HEAD.' One message in each direction, with a slight
wait in the middle while the server prepares the response.

> In svn case, apache provides the concurrency missing from svnserve.
svnserve running under xinetd so it's niced and set to a max of 10
concurrent users. I benched it up with 30 concurrent updates myself, but
I want to save room for now.

The git:// and svn:// are for the anonymous side - I did state
that clearly in my original post. Git commits are using git+ssh:// (via
gitosis), and while I'd like to do the same for SVN, it will probably
remain SVN-over-https:// for now.

i'm not suggesting you *not* provide the proper svn:// and git:// ones.  i'd 
always use those myself when possible (as performance is a ton better as ive 
seen many times).  i'm suggesting we provide both and tell people to use 
svn:// and git://, but if you're behind a stupid firewall, there is also 
http:// available.

using https:// to secure your data here is the wrong way to go.  if you have a 
man-in-the-middle attacking you, they can do a lot more than inject crap into 
your syncs, some of which you wouldnt even notice.  for the topic at hand, 
this topic does not matter i think.

The https solves man-in the middle for svn/git sync.

There is an option for rsync people (not to use it):

I know of at least two cases where people have to go through a
(corporate) firewall, so I fully second this suggestion.

 Did this plan include disabling of compression for anoncvs? I noticed my 
compression-enabled cvs up's were spewing out information about 
gzip-file-contents not being supported. This only started happening within 
the past few days, so it probably happened with this switch(assuming the 
switch happened already ;) ).

Compression was disabled on the old side as well.
Now that we have more CPU however, I may be able to re-enable it.

I'm also behind some firewall: +1 for keeping http.
