Power outage tomorrow


Hi,

EvoSwitch have informed us that there will be a further power outage tomorrow 
(July 2) at 03:00 UTC to permanently resolve the cause of the previous outage.

The only affected server (damiana) is currently not hosting any services, so
there should be no impact to users from this outage.

Wikimedia power failure


Hi,

Earlier today there was a power failure at one of Wikimedia's facilities in 
Tampa which affected the master database servers that we replicate from.  This 
caused an interruption in replication for a couple of hours (but no changes 
were being processed during most of that time).

This also caused a short outage of the web services (JIRA, MediaWiki and 
FishEye) which are hosted in that facility.

The problem is now fixed and replication is running normally; however, due to 
the nature of the failure, there may be inconsistencies in the database between 
the master and replicated copies.  Please report this in JIRA if you notice any 
problems.

is it OK to run a websocket server ?

In order to celebrate the release of Firefox 4, I have created a tool
that forwards recent changes from IRC to a web browser via websockets.

Two examples  :
*Wikipedia's recent changes, unfiltered  : 
http://toolserver.org/~thomasv/wprc.html

*The combined recent changes of six Wikisource subdomains. This page
plays a sound whenever a wikisource page has been proofread :
http://toolserver.org/~thomasv/rcsound.html

I would like to know if it is acceptable to let this tool run on the
toolserver. It currently uses port 9999, and I have limited the
bandwidth to 100 messages per second; I can lower this limit if needed.

The code is in /home/thomasv/wsbot/servlet.py

Thanks

Thomas

I see no reason it would not be allowed, since the same functionality is 
already available in other tools.

Change of default Perl version from 5.10.1 to 5.12.1


Hi,

Some time after next Friday (16th), we will change the default Perl version 
(that is, /usr/bin/perl) on the Solaris login servers and web servers from 
5.10.1 to 5.12.1.  This should not require any changes from users; however, you 
might want to test your tools with /usr/bin/perl5.12.

After the change, /usr/bin/perl5.10 will be available for a short period, but 
will then be removed.  If you have a problem with Perl 5.12, rather than 
changing your tools to use /usr/bin/perl5.10, file a request in JIRA.

Software upgrades


Hi,

Later today (Saturday) I will upgrade some software on the Solaris login and 
web servers.  A list of all software to be upgraded is at the end of this mail.

In general, this should not affect users.  However, if you have built local 
software (e.g. C programs or Perl modules) against libraries in /opt/ts, you 
should be aware that some libraries have bumped their sovers.

The affected libraries are:

	* libhistory
	* libjpeg
	* liblcms
	* libMagickCore
	* libMagickWand
	* libpng
	* libreadline
	* libyaz

Any software linking against these libraries will need to be recompiled, or it 
will fail with an error like this:

	ld.so.1: convert: fatal: libjpeg.so.7: open failed: No such file or directory

Maintenance on hyacinth


Hi,

I am about to remove hyacinth (sql-s[346]-fast) from rotation for some internal 
testing.  It will return to service in the testing configuration in a day or 
two.

In the mean time, cassia (the non-fast server) will continue to serve these 
clusters, but there will be no redundancy in case of failure.

cassia (sql-s[346]) issues


Hi,

cassia, the SQL server for sql-s[346], is currently offline.  Load for these 
clusters is being served by hyacinth (sql-s[346]-fast), but user databases are 
not available.  We are investigating the issue with cassia, but it will 
probably need to be reimported, which might take 2-3 days.
