Problem with CVS cron job

Hans Hübner — 2012-03-09T11:22:36

Message from syslogd< at >tiger at Mar  9 03:20:44 ...
 cvs: error (1, 0) called recursively.  Original message was:
Message from syslogd< at >tiger at Mar  9 03:20:44 ...
 cvs: cvs [checkout aborted]: flow control EOF
Message from syslogd< at >tiger at Mar  9 03:20:44 ...
 cvs: error (1, 0) called recursively.  Second message was:
Message from syslogd< at >tiger at Mar  9 03:20:44 ...
 cvs: cvs [checkout aborted]: received broken pipe signal

Any thoughts?

PGP key

Hans Hübner — 2012-03-01T02:24:51

Hi guys,

does anyone here feel strongly about the PGP key requirement for new
users?  Given that asdf-install is dead and the common-lisp.net key
ring does not fulfull any useful purpose, I would like to change the
new user shell script so that instead of requiring a PGP key, a ssh
public key would be required and be used to grant the new user access.
 The password would be left empty (password, ha!).

Any objections?  Please speak up.  Otherwise I'll make the change.

-Hans

CVS problem

Zach Beane — 2012-02-23T00:06:35

Whenever I try to "cvs export" something, I get this:

  cvs [export aborted]: unrecognized auth response from common-lisp.net:
  cvs pserver: /project/adw-charting/cvsroot/CVSROOT/config [14]:
  warning: duplicate LogHistory entry found

I get this regardless of what repo I'm trying to export. For example, I
have the message with beirc.

What can I do to troubleshoot?

Thanks,
Zach

Apologies for the multiple postings.

PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED

European Lisp Symposium 2012, Zadar, Croatia, April 30th - May 1st, 2012

http://european-lisp-symposium.org

The purpose of the European Lisp Symposium is to provide a forum for
the discussion and dissemination of all aspects of design,
implementation and application of any of the Lisp and Lisp-inspired
dialects, including Common Lisp, Scheme, Emacs Lisp, AutoLisp, ISLISP,
Dylan, Clojure, ACL2, ECMAScript, Racket, SKILL, and so on. We
encourage everyone interested in Lisp to participate.

The main theme of the 2012 European Lisp Conference is
"Interoperability: Systems, Libraries, Workflows". Lisp based and
functional-languages based systems have grown a variety of solutions
to become more and more integrated with the wider world of Information
and Communication Technologies in current use. There are several
dimensions to the scope of the solutions proposed, ranging from
"embedding" of interpreters in C-based systems, to the development of
abstractions levels that facilitate the expression of complex context
dependent tasks, to the construction of exchange formats handling
libraries, to the construction of theorem-provers for the "Semantic
Web". The European Lisp Symposium 2012 solicits the submission of
papers with this specific theme in mind, alongside the more
traditional tracks which have appeared in the past editions.

We invite submissions in the following forms:

Papers: Technical papers of up to 15 pages that describe original
results or explain known ideas in new and elegant ways.

Demonstrations: Abstracts of up to 4 pages for demonstrations of
tools, libraries, and applications.

Tutorials: Abstracts of up to 4 pages for in-depth presentations about
topics of special interest for at least 90 minutes and up to 180
minutes.

Lightning talks: Abstracts of up to one page for talks to last for no
more than 5 minutes.

All submissions should be formatted following the ACM SIGS guidelines
and include ACM classification categories and terms. For more
information on the submission guidelines and the ACM keywords, see:
http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates and
http://www.acm.org/about/class/1998.

Important dates:

February 15th 2012: submission deadline (extended deadline)
March 7th 2012: acceptance results

April 30th 2012: Conference opens

trac ticket mailing lists not working?

Raymond Toy — 2012-01-12T04:21:32

Just noticed that the trac ticket mailing list doesn't seem to be
working for cmucl.  According to the list archives (cmucl-ticket), the
last ticket emailed was in June 2011.  But there have been more tickets
created or modified since then, but I haven't received any emails about
them.

Is it a config problem for cmucl, or does it affect other projects?

log rotation of trac logs

Erik Huelsmann — 2012-01-07T19:44:11

As Raymond Toy already pointed out earlier, we had lots of huge logs
of Trac laying around in our file systems. Today, I set up logrotation
for trac.log in all projects. The total size of the files was
instantly reduced from >800MB to < 44MB!

It doesn't seem useful to me to retain the logs longer than 4 months,
so I set up weekly rotation with 17 weeks of history.

Bye,

Erik.

Update trac mercurial to 0.11.0.8 or later?

Raymond Toy — 2012-01-07T18:05:27

Can we update trac mercurial to 0.11.0.8 or later?  I'm getting the
error messages as mentioned in http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/8897.

I don't see anything bad happening, but the log file fills up pretty
quickly with the error messages.

I tried to update it myself using the trac admin interface to plugins,
but it complains that it's already installed.

Oldish homepage?

Jean-Claude Beaudoin — 2011-12-23T11:56:45

What has happened to the http://common-lisp.net/ homepage?
It seems to have reverted to an old (2003 it says on it) version
without links to the list of projects or anything else of the site
for that matter.  The change happened a few days ago.

Cheers,

Jean-Claude Beaudoin

Huge trac.log's

Raymond Toy — 2011-12-16T06:35:03

Just noticed that there are huge trac.logs.  The cmucl trac log is 225
MB.  The oct and f2cl logs are huge too.

Is there any script available to rotate the logs?

Revamping an old account

Anthony Ventimiglia — 2011-12-16T01:55:58

Hi guys,

A long time ago in a galaxy not so far away, I was once a member and
developer on Common-lisp.net

I've been working on a few things and in the process I've resurrected my
old project CLHP. I'm currently working on a private git repository which I
converted from my original cvs. But I plan on making a new release in the
not so distant future. In the long term I think I'll probably set up my own
server serving actual clhp pages, but I'd like to keep things on
common-lisp.net as well.

My email accounts that everything was forwarded to back then have long gone
away. So it's kind of hard to "prove" my identity.

IIRC we did things through PGP back in the day. I have an old backup of my
PGP keys from that time, however I don't remember the passphrase I used
back then for that key. I'd like to know if there's any way I can get back
my old accounts and continue to use your servers for future work with CLHP.

Thanks

Anthony Ventimiglia

Making project backups?

Raymond Toy — 2011-12-03T17:26:27

For a long time, I made project backups by just rsync'ing the project
directories (once a month).  This works fine, and still does.  However,
backing up the trac database is a bit problematic.  According to
<http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracBackup>, you need to use trac-admin
to lock the database and make a copy.

I guess I can use a cronjob for that periodically and have my rsync job
pull that version, but I was wondering how others handled backups.

Welcome Janis as sudoer

Unresolved question about software design ...

Jose Quevedo — 2011-11-26T21:56:41

Im from Berklee College of Music, Boston and
Atlantic International University, Honolulu.

Im Marine Biologist and Electroacoustic Music Composition student, my
aim is to make a software in Cmmon Lisp in which I can make algorithmic
music with a seed of a virtual ecosistem modeled by computer.

Im in the first steps of Common Lisp lenguage understanding, but I have
a stone base question:

Do I need another kind of tool more than the Lisp lenguage to build a
software or only to master the proramming lenguage is enough for that?


Thanks in advance!

Mailman admin passwords

Marco Antoniotti — 2011-11-20T10:29:06

Hi

somehow, my admin passwords for the following mailing lists do not work anymore...

cl-enumeration-devel
cl-unification-devel
definer-announce

could you double check this?  Thanks

/etc/security/limits.conf edited

Hans Hübner — 2011-11-15T10:18:58

Hi,

common-lisp.net crashed today, and Erik said that setting up an ulimit
could help prevent that.  I edited /etc/security/limits.conf to set up
a global limit for rss and data size of 500MB.

Cheers,
Hans

web site flowchart

Mario S. Mommer — 2011-11-11T18:38:44

Hi,

how does the website currently get from CVS into the webserver?
i.e. where do I have to check out into to have it there? Is there a
special script I have to invoke?

regards,
       Mario

Changes in the web pages

Mario S. Mommer — 2011-11-10T22:23:23

Hi,

I started doing some changes in the web pages, small stuff for now.

I wonder - shouldn't I remove the donate page? It's clearly out of date.

What do you think?

Regards,
       Mario
