Tigris now supports Google “plusone”

jrep — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 21:28:29 +0000

Google just announced their new plusone button. When people google their way to your Tigris project, a PlusOne button allows them to tell Google that your page is the best answer to the search they used—all without leaving your site.

The core Tigris page framework has been extended to load Google’s JavaScript. All you need to do is plant your plusone button wherever you think it looks best.

Loads more documentation on all this at the Google PlusOne Button web site.

CollabNet Quarterly Maintenance

jrep — Tue, 10 May 2011 17:23:17 +0000

CollabNet‘s regularly scheduled quarterly maintenance period will happen this Friday, May 13. The window will last 12 hours, from 19:00 Pacific on Friday, to 07:00 Pacific on Saturday.

For further details, see CollabNet’s maintenance and upgrade policy.

Extended maintenance window this Friday (May 6)

jrep — Thu, 05 May 2011 17:27:15 +0000

This week, we’re applying some patches and configuration changes to Tigris, to address the following problems:

Large bursts of mail messages sometimes fail to make it into the lists. In the case where we figured this out, an automated test framework was checking in separate tests results for thousands of test cases; the commits worked, but the blurry of email didn’t all get into the list. There may be other cases when this is happening as well (unfortunately, it was not producing log file traces to allow us to confirm this positively).
A Java Security Update will also be applied. So far as we can tell, none of the problems it fixes has ever happened (either by accident or with malice), but Security Patches are a sort of thing you do anyway, right?

The total down time should be less than 45 minutes. As always, it begins at 20:00 Pacific time.

Update: The maintenance is now complete. Looks like everything’s working fine.

Subversion users: your chance to help!

Mark Phippard, one of the CollabNet team of Subversion committers, has developed some benchmarks to guide the performance improvements going into the up-coming Subversion release 1.7. Over in the CollabNet blogs:

Subversion 1.7 Performance Benchmarks CollabNet Subversion Blog.

… he’s asking for help collecting baseline data, using as many current releases, platforms, and configuration variations as possible.

It’s a pretty good packaging; your only real requirement is that you need Java and Subversion installed. If you meet those qualifications, your help would help!

Tigris.Org CVS access down

Extended down time this Friday, 2/4

jrep — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 22:51:04 +0000

In order to add larger and more reliable disk storage, the regularly scheduled Tigris maintenance window will be extended this Friday (February 4), for an additional hour. The system will be unavailable for approximately 90 minutes, beginning 19:00 Pacific Time.

[Update: 7 Feb] The move to the new disk farm was completed without incident, and everything seems to be functioning normally. (If you think otherwise, let us know at feedback at tigris dot org.)

Back in service

jrep — Sat, 18 Dec 2010 05:22:23 +0000

Tigris was down for about half an hour, but is now back in service. We’re investigating the cause.

Weekly scheduled maintenance

jrep — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 18:59:32 +0000

Due to a persistent problem we have not yet been able to trace down, we have instituted a regular (weekly) system maintenance window, for every Friday evening at 17:00 Pacific time. During this time, you should assume that Tigris will be briefly unavailable (system restart).

I know this will be an inconvenience for some, particularly those who have to reschedule automated builds and similar processes. The problem, however, has been causing unscheduled restarts about every week and a half, so at least scheduling it in this way does allow you to accommodate, whereas the unscheduled outages do not.

We’re very sorry for the inconvenience. Rest assured, we continue to pursue the underlying problem, and sincerely hope to resolve it soon.
