TODO list for deadlock shutdown

  1. ftpmaster.freepascal.org
    • Create equivalent of http://www.nl.freepascal.org/logs/ directory (probably on http://www.de.freepascal.org), i.e. make ~fpc/logs/ directory accessible via http - ???
    • Change all snapshot scripts using FTP for upload to scp - John, Armin, Tomas, ???
    • Migrate all cronjobs (most of them or all should to berlin220) - that includes source zips and html zips for mirrors - ???
    • Contact mirror administrators and make sure all mirrors use ftpmaster.freepascal.org address - ???
    • Change the DNS record - Michael
    • Configure a special mirror login to the ftp server
    • Configure rsync.
  2. lists.freepascal.org
    • Decide where to move (berlin220 x idefix) - all
    • Configure the mailing list software and setup the new mailing lists - ???
    • Temporarily make subscription changes on deadlock inaccessible - Daniel (?)
    • Setup e-mail address scrambling for list archives on the new server (depending on features of the new mailing list software) - ???
    • Transfer subscription information to new server - Daniel and ???
    • Change the DNS record - Michael
    • Migrate list archives (probably after some time to avoid lost e-mails due to different DNS refresh times) - ???
  3. community.freepascal.org
    • Decide where to move (berlin220 x idefix) - all
      • Current software needs PostgreSQL (or Oracle, don't know about Firebird) and AOLserver. Daniel-fpc
    • Decide whether we would continue using current forum software or different solution - ???
      • Current software totally outdated (no updates done since I put it live). Did some work to migrate to OpenACS 5, but am not satisfied with the available conversion scripts. Daniel-fpc
    • Setup the new system - ???
    • Import existing content, userbase and settings (e-mail alerts etc.) - Daniel and ???
    • Change DNS (and possibly link on our pages too if different port is used in the future) - Michael
