Re: Large core dumps found in home directory

MZMcBride — 2013-06-19T23:11:16

You can run "pstack core" to try to figure out what went wrong. I've never
found pstack's output particularly useful, but it at least can usually
identify the specific script that's causing the issue.

Large core dumps found in home directory

Derrick Coetzee — 2013-06-18T22:12:46

Hi all, I noticed today I had several large core dumps in my home
directory, and two buried under my public_html directory. The directories I
found them in contained no executables and as far as I know were not
working directories for executables (just PHP scripts used by the web
server), so I can't imagine how they got there.

-rw------- 1 dcoetzee users 191463424 May  5 06:56 core

-rw------- 1 dcoetzee users 38797312 Sep 29  2012 core

This exceeded my hard quota without my knowledge. Any idea what's up with
this? Can I prevent it from reoccurring? Thanks.

Are tools in expired user accounts backed up?   If a user disappears
for a year and then comes back this time next year, will they be able
to find their code and data?

JIRA should work again

DaB. — 2013-06-12T11:49:58

Hello all,

amette reported yesterday that he found the problem with our
JIRA-installation and created a quick-fix to solve it. As far as I see
everything seems to works again. Give him some cheering!
Please be so nice and do some testing too in JIRA, close bugs that were
fixed and create new ones if you find a problem.

Sincerely,
DaB.

I've actually been told during Amsterdam hackathon, that you can choose if 
you want to use plain git or gerrit for your tools, if that helps a bit...

Note: you can also use svnsync to do this from your own computer - see
https://github.com/pywikibot/svn2git/blob/master/scripts-pwb/sync for
an example.

Re: Status update on Tool Labs

Tim Landscheidt — 2013-06-02T19:34:44


The "User account expired" messages are generated by
https://svn.toolserver.org/svnroot/puppet/trunk/puppet/modules/webserver/files/do_expired.sh
which replaces the bottom of /etc/htaccess.  It's certainly
possible to exempt some user accounts and add special redi-
rects for them.  The bigger problem for a move of abandoned
tools to /anywhere/ is however, as Magnus said, if the
source code is properly licensed.  soxred93 for example has
set a default license of MIT (but
http://toolserver.org/~soxred93/ looks pretty empty), while
interiot has no default license, but
/home/interiot/public_html/cgi-bin/Tool1/wannabe_kate de-
clares itself as "[[Public domain]]".  Just redirecting to a
working tool should pose no problems, though.

As DaB. explained, the roots can provide you with a dump of
your SVN repository.  You can then import ("load") this into
a repository in your home directory and access it via ssh
(this seems to be possible from Windows as well,
cf. http://sebastian.thiele.me/blog/tortoise-svn-putty-ssh-windows/2438
(German)).  If you create a dummy tool and put the reposi-
tory in the tool directory, all users in the tool group
should be able to write to it as well.

You could also import the dump for example to SourceForge
(cf. http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/Subversion%20import%20instructions)
and probably other hosters.

I don't know of any plans regarding WebDAV.


You can get the history of a file with "git log FILENAME";
if you want to follow the history through renames, use "git
log --follow FILENAME".

Maciej Jaros — 2013-05-31T20:30:54

Is there any how-to on moving SVN repo. along with it's history to TL? 
Is it possible/planned at all?

Also could you clarify on "...WMF doesn’t provide SVN hosting, but 
volunteers can create an SVN project in Labs.". I can create a repo in 
my home dir or what? How would I access it from my machine then? Can I 
just enable and configure WEBDAV on some public_html dir?

Yes I know Git is superior and all that, but I don't want to get into 
the discussion of history on a full tree versus history on a file. I 
just want to know if I will be able to use SVN on your servers and just 
switch my local directory without any needless conversions.

Regards,
Nux.

I would add that from few months various mails in this mailing list 
suggested that it's already a done deal. From a tool-author perspective 
I would say - what's the point of struggling?  I liked TS, it was 
working very nice, and most fixes were done quite quickly, and I always 
felt TS was and is very open. But let's face it - TS has not been 
working well lately. I understand why. I understand that TS would need 
some money to go on, but at the end of the day it's just annoying when 
things are not working. And frankly I'd like to move as fast as possible 
because I see no point in staying at a sinking ship. This might sound 
harsh, but please understand, I don't want the ship to sink, I'm not 
making the holes, but I - as a humble small tools author - don't feel I 
can do anything about that really.

What I'm saying is that it is not about voting with feet. Things were 
already decided. It's as if someone would place a poster on the door of

Oppps... I only "work" (work is something too much for what I do... o_O )
logging into willow, that's Solaris if I'm not going wrong. . No matter,
I'll browse toolserver wiki to see as I can login into a Linux server,  and
if I'll find troubles I'll ask for help.

Pavel Richter — 2013-05-31T13:11:41

Dear DaB,

as you've mentioned yourself in your mail, it was only last weekend that
you came to Berlin for WMDE's general assembly. I hope you don't mind me
adding that you stayed through Sunday in order to join our bar camp / open
sunday. Well, and before that you and your fellow volunteer account
auditors visited the WMDE office in order to prepare for the report to the
general assembly, as you have done for so many years now.

It is with all these examples of volunteer enthusiasm in mind that I have
read and re-read your fade-out notice. I can't help but notice that you'll
probably have carried all your concerns not only through recent months but
also through last weekend. And still, on all of the above mentioned
occasions you've shown the same openness, scrutiny and dedication that many
people surely have come to know you for.

I'd like to thank you for those years of continuous support you've been
devoting to the Toolserver. The Toolserver would not have been the success
it was and still is without your
