We need to update the software Redmine running on code.mpimet.mpg.de to a newer version (and in the course upgrade the operating system and service software).

When?

Who/What is affected:

- The connection to Redmine on code.mpimet.mpg.de will
not be possible during the maintenance.

It could be that we do not need the full two hours on Friday afternoon, we will notify you by email when the maintenance should be finished ahead of schedule.

The system has been restored to a working state.

Dear Users,

we have encountered technical problems and systems crashes of the git server git.mpimet.mpg.de.

In order to fix these problems we need to block the access to the git server. All repositories (including ICON) will not be accessible during
the repair.

We will let you know when the service is fixed.

We've re-enabled the self-registration for user accounts.

Please note the privacy policy update due to use of a ReCaptcha service!

Due to a very high level of bot-account registrations, the self registration of accounts is temporarily disabled.

Please check back in a few days — or if you know which project you want to take part in, contact the project managers to forward your account request.

This system will be unavailable due tue maintenance, on Frieday, 23rd of November between 9:00 and 11:30 CET.

Who/What is affected:

What to do after the maintenance:

If you are still using SVN repositories, then you should prepare them for future use:

• You might need to accept a new SSL server certificate after svn commands:
  

  $ svn update
  Updating '.':
  Error validating server certificate for 'https://svn.zmaw.de:443':
   - The certificate is not issued by a trusted authority. Use the
     fingerprint to validate the certificate manually!
  Certificate information:
   - Hostname: svn.mpimet.mpg.de
   - Valid: from Apr  6 12:26:43 2018 GMT until Jul  9 12:26:43 2020 GMT

• The repositories might need to be upgraded:
  

  $ svn upgrade
  

• if you are still using SVN repositories, then these repositories might need to be relocated using svn relocate after the maintenance, e.g. for repository libmtime:
  

  $ svn relocate https://svn.mpimet.mpg.de/svn/libmtime
