Re: Oolite Linux - Trunk nightly builds
64bit Oolite nightly build web page is available.
Some minor fixes have been performed to the nightly web pages scripts.
However, it doesn't seem to me that what is addressed by these fixes,
caused today's unavailability.
I need to take care of my WAF (i.e. wife acceptance factor ) now, therefore,
I will wait till the next nightly release occurs to see if the case is solved.

Re: Oolite Linux - Trunk nightly builds
This is just to close this case. The issue was generated by a script executed too early.
Following too nightly updates it is considered fixed.
Cheers!

The oolite-nightly 32bit server has crashed.
Updates for 32bit will be frozen till a recovery is in place.

Re: Oolite Linux - Trunk nightly builds
Last night the nightly server power supply has died.
The power supply has just been replaced by the one I had in my personal tower and
the web-server service has been restored.
For the time being it points to the previous nightly that contains the following change:
The Windows VM is broken and it is currently being restored
from the most recent backup (21-Mar-2014).
The Linux VMs are also being checked in parallel; they seem fine but let's hold a bit more.
I will keep editing this post with updates.
EDIT: We are back in business.

Re: Oolite Linux - Trunk nightly builds
During the next days, starting of today and till Sunday 27/Apr, the nightly server will mostly be unavailable.
The following major operations will be performed:
1. Image backup of server
2. Motherboard downgrade (explained later in this communication)
3.New O/S installation and web-server re-installation.
Following a stability period of two weeks the server will be brought down again to get an image backup of the new installation.
During terrastorage server unavailability, Mac users may use the following link for the nightly:
http://oolite.org/nightly/mac/index.php
Please, note that the virtual machines used to build Oolite nightly will not be touched... at least not at this stage.
However, the plan for the near future is to re-build the virtual machines with modern O/S and development tools.
To be honest with the community, the motherboard downgrade is due to the fact that I will use the server's motherboard for my E:D rig.
My PC motherboard has a very old PCI Express and also imposes many limitations when it comes to max memory supported.
I don't think that this change will have any impact to user-experience for the nightly service.
I will be posting some updates on the progress here.
EDIT 2014/04/28 02:11am:
O/S and server services have been successfully installed.
All virtual machines (used for the nightly builds) have been successfully tested.
Oolite Nightly service configuration is in progress.
EDIT 2014/04/29 17:45:
Oolite Nightly service is live... well... with a change....
I am sorry but, DYN is stopping the free dynamic dns service,
and I had to change my dynamic dns provider from DYN to NO-IP.
This means that terrastorage nightly service URLs are now:
Mac OS X: http://terrastorage.no-ip.info/oolite/status_mac.html
Windows x64: http://terrastorage.no-ip.info/oolite/status_win64.html
Windows x86: http://terrastorage.no-ip.info/oolite/status_win32.html
Linux x86_64/AMD64: http://terrastorage.no-ip.info/oolite/status_AMD64.html
Linux x86: http://terrastorage.no-ip.info/oolite/status.html
A relevant announcement will be posted in the initial post of this thread for each O/S.

Re: Oolite Linux - Trunk nightly builds
First post updated with new URL.
"oolite-update" and "oolite-trunk-update" scripts should automatically and gracefully fallback to alternative server.

Re: Oolite Linux - Trunk nightly builds
If you edit to
it will (temporarily) fix things. See below.
@ Getafix
When I do the above modification to fix things, along with a successful update, the rsync process then reverts the above file back to the old "dyndns" version.
~/GNUstep/Applications/Oolite-trunk/oolite.app/oolite-update
from:
Code: Select all
RSYNC_SERVER_PRIMARY="terrastorage.dyndns.info"
Code: Select all
RSYNC_SERVER_PRIMARY="terrastorage.no-ip.info"

Re: Oolite Linux - Trunk nightly builds
Thanks Dizzie that worked even though I have 1.79 installed system-wide and 1.77 in my home folder so it was a pain to edit the update file. I'm mostly illiterate in terminal, but learning fast.

Re: Oolite Linux - Trunk nightly builds
You're welcome.. Note that until Getafix updates the above file on the server, you will need to make this change each time before updating..

Done. The change will be available with the next nightly.Diziet Sma wrote:You're welcome.. Note that until Getafix updates the above file on the server, you will need to make this change each time before updating..
For the non-nightly users a new sticky topic has been opened here,
till the secondary server issue (i.e. alioth server) is addressed.

Re: Oolite Linux - Trunk nightly builds
terrastorage.no-ip.info seems to have a problem.
The status pages load fine, but for around 24 hours now, the update script bombs out..
