Redmine User Information

This system will be unavailable due tue maintenance on Tuesday, 9th of April between 8:30 and 10:00 CET.

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.

What will happen:

• upgrade of the Subversion server svn.zmaw.de
• renaming of the Subversion server svn.zmaw.de to svn.mpimet.mpg.de

When?

• Tuesday, April 10th, 8 am - 9:30 am

Who/What is affected:

• Subversion on the server has been upgraded to v1.8
• The machine has been renamed to svn.mpimet.mpg.de

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
   - Issuer: Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, Muenchen, Bayern, DE
   - Fingerprint: 87:7E:34:73:AC:47:C8:0A:CA:D1:48:27:90:B9:2F:DB:8F:31:29:2C
  

• 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
  

This system will be unavailable due tue maintenance, on Tuesday, 12th of April between 8:00 and 10:00 CEST.

What will happen:

• upgrade of the operating system on svn.zmaw.de and svn-zmk.zmaw.de

When?

• Tuesday, March 3rd, 10 am - 2 pm

Who/What is affected:

• The upgrades requires a downtime of both subversion servers
• Neither the repositories hosted on both servers, nor the svn access manager will be usable during the maintenance, including access from the Redmine server code.zmaw.de
• During the maintenance you might see error messages, when clicking the repository inside the Redmine server
• No major upgrade of the subversion package will happen (1.6.12 -> 1.6.17), so we don't expect any compatibility issues with existing working copies

The Redmine service has been upgraded to version 2.3.

A condensed list of fixes and features coming with the new version is available at Redmine-New-Features.

Have Fun!
