Hi, The public git repository, gitweb, and gitstats running on git.koha.org will be moved to a new server later today, and consequently the DNS entry for git.koha.org will be changed to point to the new server. As noted earlier this week, gitweb is currently not functioning, although the git repository itself remained accessible via the git protocol. The breakage was caused by our (LibLime's) attempt to apply security updates on the virtual private server running git.koha.org. However, this appears to have resulted in an incompatibility between the C library and the kernel of either the host or client operating system, which in turn prevented from Apache from running. I apologize for not providing more details of what went wrong, but at present I don't have them. Rather than spend even more time trying to resolve the issue on the original box, we have transferred the public repository, gitweb, and gitstats to another, more stable box. The public git repository will be frozen until we're sure that the DNS changes have had enough time to propagate. Please note that all patches submitted to patches@koha.org are still in the hands of the QA and release managers; none of them are lost. On behalf of LibLime, I apologize to the Koha community for the outage and for our failure to resolve the problem more quickly. I will post again once the DNS change has taken place. If any issues are discovered with git on the new server, please CC me on any notifications.

Could you let us know which distro you were running when this happened (C lib incompatibility) and which update system was used? As a sysadmin on Debian box with some updates that are overdue, I'd like to know anything you can tell us. BTW: I have seen this happen before with Linux updates, e.g. Clib update clobbers an entire system. cheers rickw -- ________________________________________________________________ Rick Welykochy || Praxis Services || Internet Driving Instructor Anyone who says he won't resign four times, will. -- John Kenneth Galbraith

This was an older VPS system running on Red Hat ... the VPS was using the Red Hat native system kernel, rather than a Debian one, so this kind of thing wouldn't normally happen in a production environment (non-VPS). Again, sorry for the outage, the DNS has been updated and should propagate shortly.
