Developers' Blogs: IroNiQ

Today i did the upgrade. There was a small database cleanup (fortunately this was more simplier now then the testing was) before the upgrade. That's why the upgrade was faster then i thought. After this i copied the files from the testing BTS and the main things were ok. After small changes the site got its current status. So, the new BTS is ready to work.

Due noone send me bugreport about the new testing BTS, i decided to upgrade the main BTS (http://bugs.frugalware.org). The upgrade will start on Monday (17th July) and will last approx. 2-3 days (i hope so). During this time the BTS will NOT be available, because i have to clean the database and upgrade it.

Please be patient during this time.

Well, maybe some of you have seen the test BTS. Now it's upgraded to the devel version. I also added a small feature into it (and accepted by the author, so that will be available soon in svn). So maybe it will be available soon on the main site.

Helicon downtime:
At this weekend there will be a complete network donwtime at out x86_64 buildserver's network provider. The downtime will be on 8-9th of July (this weekend). Because of this, helicon won't be available from saturday morning till sunday evening (or so). We hope everything will go well and won't be any problem or slippage. Please don't start longer builds that cannot end on Friday. Thanks...

BTS upgrade
I started upgrading our BTS to a newer version. But this is not as easy as i'd like to. I realized that a previous upgrade changed the database structure a bit. I copied to a new one and cleaned it and as i could see, without any problem. But i'm not sure about it, so please test it and report on frugalware-devel mailing list. The test page is available here: bugs.ironiq.hu.
