SA Bugzilla – Bug 7268
people.apache.org being replaced by home.apache.org
Last modified: 2018-09-01 15:12:33 UTC
Beginning with the next release 3.4.2, the build process will need to exclude people.apache.org and likely switch to uploading the files to your home.apache.org instead or Sebb's recommendation. Recommendation and Notice below. Sebb's recommendations here are likely a good solutions as well for the SA project: There is a staging area on the dist server for just this purpose: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/<project> Upload the RC to that instead. This is much better than the home directory on people because there is no need to copy the files again when the vote succeeds. Instead you can use svn/svnmucc to move the files to the dist release directory (same repo, so files don't travel across the network). Also there can be proper traceability of the RC artifacts; just include the revision number of the dev tree in the vote e-mail. ***NOTICE Hi folks, as the subject says, people.apache.org is being decommissioned soon, and personal web space is being moved to a new home, aptly named home.apache.org ( https://home.apache.org/ ) IMPORTANT: If you have things on people.apache.org that you would like to retain, please make a copy of it and move it to home.apache.org. (note, you will have to make a folder called 'public_html' there, for items to show up under https://home.apache.org/~yourID/ ). We will _NOT_ be moving your data for you. There is simply too much old junk data on minotaur (the current people.apache.org machine) for it to make sense to rsync it across, so we have made the decision that moving data is up to each individual committer. The new host, home.apache.org, will ONLY be for web space, you will not have shell access to the machine (but you can copy data to it using SFTP and your SSH key). Access to modify LDAP records (for project chairs) will be moved to a separate host when the time comes. There will be a 3 month grace period to move your data across. After this time span (March 1st, 2016), minotaur will no longer serve up personal web space, and visits to people.apache.org will be redirected to home.apache.org. With regards, Daniel on behalf of the Apache Infrastructure Team.
Using the https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/spamassassin/ instead of people is good for rc's but you can't just mv the files to release because that requires repacking. This is covered in the build/README for release managers.
