Discussion was held publically in #mozdev
Discussed developer priorities
- a little Drupal work (theming fixes, install profile fixes)
- Thanksgiving theme
- replaced mirror content
- going to start putting news on front page from mozdev.org blog feed
- would like to serve files directly from mozdev.org if the content on the mirrors is outdated
- will be redirecting users to their closest mirror soon
- gjm picked next Monday @ 10:00 UTC for the BZ 3.0 upgrade
Discussed sysadmin priorities
- mailman is working without problems now
- one of the list admins set the bounce address to the list admin address, causing a very large bounce queue to grow
- mailman devs created a patch for this and it was applied to our servers
- the bounced mail problem has been going on since May 5, 2007
- outgoing queue in mailman was increased from 1 process to 4 processes; postfix outbound smtp clients has been increased 50%
- held message nags are still causing most of the daily email lag to lists
- still tweaking rewrite rules on vebzom.org
Mirror outage
- content was accidentally deleted when stage was synced with production
- Doug needed to fix up the mirror sync script because it wasn't maintained in CVS
- the CVS tree still needs synced from production to staging; gjm will take care of that
Vebzom.org downtime
- TWS rebooted the server without plugging a monitor in, so we don't know if anything was visible on the console
- gjm was unable to find anything in logs
- no ideas about what the problem was, unfortunately
MySQL Backups
- setting up a replication server on vebzom.org is one option; would increase traffic to vebzom.org, but would totally elimninate the locking issue
- splitting out bugzilla tables into its own database will speed up the dump of the tigris database and clean up the database at the same time
- gjm an silfreed will coordinate on splitting the tigris db and updating code
