very short d.o downtime later today or tomorrow
Hi folks, sorry for the short notice. I just realized that some recent fixes to cvs.module and project* are going to require some really short d.o downtime when I update the sources. There are a few db updates that have to run, and between the time I upgrade the source and run update.php, all sorts of CVS-account related things will blow up with SQL errors and the like. So, my plan is to: a) disable the CVS repos (no commits or tags allowed). b) backup the cvs-related DB tables that are effected. c) take d.o offline with a "upgrading d.o modules, back in 5 minutes" message. d) do the upgrade. e) bring d.o back online. f) re-enable the CVS repos. The whole thing should take 10 minutes, with d.o itself down for maybe 3 or 4. Any objections? Thanks, -Derek (dww)
If you can, try to do it later in the evening, as off-peak as possible. And pray it goes well. LOL Derek Wright wrote:

Off-peak on what continent? ;)
Again we bring up our views of time as if it doesn't affect others differently. Time only has one value; it is our perception of that value with which we are in conflict with others. Off-peak for d.o would be when the d.o systems are least used based on metrics of use and not some perception of time value. Earnie
