onefang | Sometime during the next week, I'll be upgrading my server to Devuan ASCII. This will mean my Devuan mirror will be down for several hours at some point. Exact timing not known yet. | 10:24 |
---|---|---|
KatolaZ | onefang: please let me know in advance | 10:27 |
KatolaZ | which one is it? | 10:27 |
onefang | SledjHamr.org | 10:27 |
onefang | My server company gave me an entire 500 GB temporary disk to use for the migration, so I should be able to keep mirror downtime to the bare minimum. Reboot + minor fixups, hopefully. | 10:30 |
onefang | Oddly enough it's the exact same temporary disk they gave me a couple of years ago, when I migrated from Ubuntu to Debian. lol | 10:31 |
KatolaZ | oh ok | 10:31 |
KatolaZ | it's currently out of the RR | 10:32 |
KatolaZ | the reason is that you refuse simlinks | 10:32 |
KatolaZ | I had to contact you and another mirror admin with the same problem | 10:32 |
KatolaZ | in particular, there is an issue with ceres there | 10:32 |
onefang | After the migration to Devuan, I'll fix that. | 10:32 |
KatolaZ | ok | 10:32 |
KatolaZ | great | 10:32 |
KatolaZ | then just please let me know when you are done | 10:33 |
KatolaZ | and I will re-add the mirror to the RR | 10:33 |
KatolaZ | thanks a lot! | 10:33 |
onefang | You are welcome. | 10:33 |
onefang | I've been planning this since last year, and testing the migration since ASCII was released. My main desktop is migrated already. | 10:34 |
KatolaZ | ascii is all right onefang | 10:34 |
onefang | So if I've done my homework correctly, should be no surprises. B-) | 10:35 |
KatolaZ | all the Devuan infra has been on ascii since last year | 10:35 |
onefang | I like to be conservative with my server, so was waiting for the actual ASCII release. | 10:36 |
KatolaZ | yeah onefang | 10:36 |
KatolaZ | totally understandable | 10:36 |
KatolaZ | just most of the problems with ascii before the beta were on the desktop side | 10:37 |
onefang | I noticed, and part of me being conservative is I run the exact same OS and stuff on my main desktop, testing out any big changes here first. So desktop side had to be good before I started. | 10:38 |
KatolaZ | :) | 10:38 |
onefang | My only major remaining desktop problem is that Debian, in their wisdom, decided to strip out all support for JPEG 2000, which is important to me. B-( | 10:41 |
onefang | Only ImagaMagick still supports it. | 10:41 |
onefang | SledjHamr's main job is to be an OpenSim server. OpenSim is the open source implementation of a Second Life server, both use JPEG 2000 is the internal graphics format. | 10:51 |
onefang | As you can imagine, simulating a 3D world means lots and lots of textures. I have about 50 GB's worth, and only ImageMagick to view them with. | 10:51 |
