paulproteusnathany, ACK04:01

* paulproteus giggles04:02
paulproteusCouldn't help myself.04:02
nathanyfinally realized that I could "just" use mod_rewrite to pass URLs to the fcgi04:02
nathanyand it'd "do the right thing"04:02
paulproteus"Great"04:02
nathany(does that match your experience?)04:02
paulproteusI usually "just" use Alias or ScriptAlias.04:02
nathanyRight, but I couldn't get Alias to work @ the root of the site04:03

JanisBnathany, can I ask about GSoC proposals? :)15:11
nathanyJanisB: sure15:12
JanisBwhat's now?15:13
nathanyin the SoC process?15:13
JanisBmentors should review all proposals and students should wait until 15 of April?15:13
nathanyright; you should subscribe to updates on your proposal so you're notified if the mentors have any public questions for you15:13
*** cristi has joined #cc15:14
nathanyactually it looks like you won't be notified until april 2015:14
nathanybut selections have to finish by april 15615:14

JanisBIs there someone else with same proposal like mine (RDFa for WP)?15:15
nathanyJanisB: yes; we had several for that project15:16
JanisBit is possible that mentors will need some additional info/will have questions about my proposal (in other words - should i stay on this channel or i can wait questions over e-mails/public comments at SoC site)?15:20
nathanyJanisB: if you're subscribed to comments on your proposal that should be enough; we're posting questions there so that all mentors can see them along with responses15:21
JanisBok, thank you15:22

paulproteusMorning plan: Finish implement choosing a sidebox on OpenEd, wait for NK's fires to go away re: upgrades, then eat lunch and come in.16:58
nkinkadeBovinity: Would you have a problem with me removing the "Your Name" text that is auto filled on the contact form?16:59
Bovinitynkinkade: is it superfluous, or is it a hint? i'm guessing the former17:00
Bovinitynkinkade: ah, yeah, especally considering it's required.. remove17:00
nkinkadeIt has two negative qualities: 1) It allow people to not fill the field so we get mails with subjects like "A comment from Your Name", which is confusing 2) it's javascript activated, and someone just complained that the text wouldn't go away from some reason, though I can't think how or why that could be.17:00
Bovinityperverbial someone probably has JS turned off17:01
Bovinitybut yes, go ahead and remove it.17:01
nkinkadeI'll just ditch it.  It will at least force people to put something even if it means we get mails with subjects like "A comment from Fuck, I'm not giving you my name."17:01

nkinkadeI'll probably go to lunch in about 45 minutes.17:18
paulproteusExcellent.17:18
nkinkadeI'd rather not start just before lunch in case I get held up.17:18
paulproteusYes, right on.17:18
nkinkadeAnd the same for you guys, so I figured around 1 or 2 pm Pacific would fit that bill.17:18

nkinkadenathany: paulproteus: Just back from lunch this very moment.20:11
paulproteusCool.20:11
nkinkadepaulproteus: Shall we do the upgrade when you arrive at the office?20:11
nathanygreat20:12
paulproteusSounds great to me.20:12
nathanyand when will that be?20:12
paulproteus15m20:12
nathanygreat20:12
paulproteusMaybe 20m20:13
paulproteusP.S. Sorry about what I wrote on ticket 177.20:13
nkinkadenathany: Up to now, I've been trying to upgrade no more than 1 machine at a time, but I'm feeling fairly convinced of the stability of Lenny with out setup, so I see no reason not to do a5, then if all is well and there is time, to just get a7 out of the way too.20:13
nathanynkinkade: does it make sense to do a7 first to discover any [possible] cc.engine problems? just a thought20:14
nathanyi don't anticipate any, just thinking out loud20:14
nkinkadenathany: I'm fine with that, and it makes sense, too.20:15

paulproteusnathany, I'm chilling with the ccLearners in the big, noisy conf. room.20:49
nathanyok20:49
nathanynkinkade, i guess you'll start on a7?20:49
nathanyjohndoigiii: fyi, if you're mucking on staging.cc.org nkinkade is going to do a dist upgrade on it so it'll be periodically unavailable20:50
johndoigiiialrighty thanks20:50
paulproteusThe longest downtime period would be when apt stops and starts mysqld.20:52
paulproteusnkinkade, For that reason, maybe you can 'apt-get install mysql-server-5.0' before the main dist-upgrade?20:53
paulproteusThat would minimize its downtime.20:53
nathany(don't forget the reboot, paulproteus)20:53
paulproteus(oh, yeah, reboots are awesome)20:53
paulproteus(-: and I did forget)20:54
nkinkadepaulproteus: Good idea.20:54
nkinkadenathany: paulproteus: I'm going to start on a7.20:54
paulproteusThis'll be fun!20:54
nkinkadeI'll start with dpk and apt, then do mysql, then do a full-upgrade.20:54
nkinkadeSound reasonable?20:54
paulproteusStart with {dpkg, apt, aptitude} then mysql, then full, sure.20:55
*** kreynen_ has joined #cc20:57
nkinkadepaulproteus: There is a dep. problem with python-subversion, the first solution is to downgrade it.  Will that be okay?21:07
nkinkadeApparently the installed version requires < python2.521:07
paulproteusI can't even remember what we use it for.21:07
paulproteusCan you try 'aptitude install python-subversion' and see what it can upgrade?21:08
nkinkadelibsvn-perl [1.5.4dfsg1-1~asheesh (now) -> 1.5.1dfsg1-2 (stable)]21:08
paulproteusHah!21:08
nkinkade:-)21:08
paulproteusUh, sure.21:08
paulproteus(-:21:08
nathanydid we need it for pootle/herder stuff?21:08
nkinkadeOther than that, the changes it wants to make seem reasonable and non-critical.21:09
nkinkadeSo paulproteus libsvn going down in version won't affecting anything with code.CC.org?21:09
paulproteusOh, I see, this is the whole Subversion package.21:09
paulproteusWell 1.5.4 has some improvements over 1.5.1.21:10
nkinkadeOh, no sorry.  it's just libsvn-perl.21:10
paulproteusRelease the lock and lemme see?21:10

paulproteusIt's on my former advisor's door.21:26

*** rainman__ has quit IRC21:29
paulproteusw00t, gitosis is "currently" broken.21:29
paulproteusProbably because the default Python version changed.21:30
paulproteusI'll fix it.21:30
paulproteus(done; I hardcoded python2.4 "for now" in gitosis-serve; if we next upgrade gitosis that'll get overwritten with /usr/bin/python, which work work because the upgrade will install the module for python2.5)21:36
nathanynkinkade: have we rebooted into the brave new world of lenny yet? not sure if i should be paying attention to roundup borkedness21:45
nkinkadenathany: Not yet.  It's still upgrading, and I'm sorting out some changes to config files that apt is warning me about.21:47

nkinkadeI guess I'll re-enable Nagios for a7, and see what's up.21:58
paulproteusThe OpenEd folks seem to have hardly noticed.22:01
nkinkadenathany: Can you take a look at cc.engine on a7?22:02
nkinkade(staging)22:02
nathanylooking22:02
nkinkadeI think it may just be a startup script issue.22:02
nkinkadecc.engine for labs is running, or something that looks like it.22:02
nathanynkinkade: yeah, i just killed the labs instance and removed it from rc.local, killed it's startup script22:06

nkinkadenathany: Looks like apps/scraper and apps/triples are down too.22:07
nathanyok22:07
nathanypaulproteus: did you not convert staging to use fcgi as well as production?22:09
nathany(for the triple scraper)22:09
paulproteusI don't particularly recall doing that. But it's all kind of hazy.22:10
* nathany grumbles under his breath22:11
paulproteusLet me know if you want me to. I can spring into action if desired.22:12
paulproteusI thought I mostly just convinced you guys to FCGIify things rather than did it myself.22:13
* nathany rolls his eyes22:13
paulproteusNo, I remember now doing it for the scraper.22:13
nathanyuh, no, you did it on production :)22:13
paulproteusYes, that's right.22:13
nathanynevermind, i'm looking @ the license engine at the moment22:13
paulproteusOkay, cool. Do let me know if you want me to.22:13
paulproteusI'm going to see about fixing the roundup mail gateway, which seems to have broken.22:14
nathanyall of roundup seems dead22:14
paulproteusYa22:14
paulproteusI just found that.22:14
paulproteusSince you did the initial install, want to look at it? If you're busy I will continue to investigate; I imagine I can figure out what you did.22:16
* paulproteus investigates; if you want me to stop, interrupt me22:16
nathanyi'm happy to look but it'll have to wait22:16
paulproteusQuick q: did you install from Debian packages, or upstream source, or what?22:17
paulproteusLooks like packages to me.22:17
nathanypaulproteus: i'm not sure; i would have guess packages22:18
paulproteusCool.22:18
paulproteusnkinkade, a7 wants you to install nagios3, it seems.22:20
paulproteusRun "apt-get -f install" and you'll see some things it wants to address.22:20
nkinkadepaulproteus: I need to fix that.22:20
paulproteusCool, so long as you know. No rush from me on that.22:20
nkinkadeI tried to purge it before rebooting, but a postinstall script failed.22:20
nathanypaulproteus: roundup appears to be a mod_proxy muck up22:22
paulproteusFixed.22:22
nathany(guessing, based on error.log)22:22
nathanygreat22:22
nathanythank22:22

paulproteusI'm familiar with a few mod_proxy problems, from experience. (-:22:22
paulproteusroundup-mailgw is also working fine now, I believe.22:25
nathanypaulproteus: any idea why python2.5 on a7 wouldn't be loading /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sitecustomize.py?22:28
paulproteusNot off the top of my head; let me quickly check22:28
nkinkadeWas it a mod_proxy thing?  There was maybe 1 line in the old mod_proxy setup that seemed strange, but I accepted the maintainers version, so that could have been it.22:28
nathanyoh, weird22:28
nathanylooks like it wants it not in site-packages but one level up22:29
paulproteuspython -v # says it was22:29
paulproteusOh, yeah, right. (I was about to paste what it said it imported.)22:29
paulproteusnkinkade, Yeah, it was a mod_proxy thing. I'd like to just show you a "git diff" but we don't have etckeeper on a7 yet. (-:22:29
nathanyWTF, they add an apport hook there?22:29
nathanyjhfc22:29
nkinkadepaulproteus: The old mod_proxy.conf file should still be there.22:30
paulproteusnkinkade, I didn't change the mod_proxy.conf, just the vhost's configuration.22:30
nkinkadeDidn't dpkg move rename it before installing the new one.22:30

nathanynkinkade: scraper is back; seems that it was missing the suexec wrapper (*cough* paulproteus *cough*)23:34
paulproteuser23:34
nkinkadeHmm.  And Apache issued a warning about the suexec wrapper  when I restarted it23:35
paulproteusI don't really know why I'm being coughed at.23:35
paulproteusapache2-suexec is a separate package from apache2, but I think it's installed by default.23:35
paulproteusI mean, it's an add-on package like a module.23:35
nathanypaulproteus: i'm coughing because it wasn't installed and because it's your handiwork (hacked by chinese ;) )23:36
nathany(not a real cough, just an annoying change in debian)23:37
