We need to add some more disk to our servers, which means we’ll have some downtime starting at 14 CET today. We’ll update this post as we proceed. Updates: 14:10: the physical servers are rebooting 14:40: the host was giving us a hard time, but the virtual machines are finally booting now 14:41: the file [...]
A few months ago, Axis Communications, the world’s leading expert in network video, got in touch with us to discuss some features they were missing in their local Gitorious installation. We agreed that the Gitorious team would develop these features on a consulting basis for them, and today we’re proud to announce that these features [...]
The Git User’s Survey 2011 is now up! Please devote a few minutes of your time to fill out the simple questionnaire; it’ll help the Git community understand your needs, what you like about Git (and what you don’t), and overall help us improve it. The survey will be open from 5 September to 3 October 2011. The [...]
Due to some changes in Gitorious’ network infrastructure, we need to reboot the servers today at 14.30 CET. This should be completed before 14:35 – we’ll post an update here once we’re done. Edit: As of 16:08, we’re back up and running.
We need to add some more storage to our SAN infrastructure, which means our servers will be unavailable for approximately 1 hour Wednesday morning, July 27., from 8AM CET. We will post updates via our identi.ca/Twitter accounts, and update this post once we’ve completed the upgrade. As always, you can check our status site to [...]
When we originally wrote our terms of service, we wanted to make sure that gitorious.org could not get in trouble if our users published source code they were not allowed to publish; for instance if they didn’t have a license for the source code. Based on this, our terms of service stated that users submitting [...]
As of today, gitorious.org has vastly improved SSL support. You are now free to surf gitorious.org through https only, should you wish to do so. Previously, our SSL support has been restricted to a few select actions, and there has been redirects from https to http. With today’s deployment, gitorious.org will never redirect you away [...]
Around 12:00 CET today, gitorious.org went down and was down for about 10 minutes. During this time, both the web site and git push/pull was unavailable. This is a short summary of what happened. We have been having performance issues with our database over the last few months. The main bottleneck has been our events [...]
After experiencing some really heavy loads on the server last weekend (which caused some 503′s – sorry again) we pulled down some logs from the servers and applied some grep and sed magic on them. We were a little surprised by what we learned. It turned out that over 20% of the requests to the [...]
As mentioned in a previous blog post, gitorious.com is getting some new content. We’re launching the new gitorious.com today, and we’re really excited about it. Gitorious started out as Johan Sørensen scratching his own itch almost four years ago. After steadily getting more users and projects on board, Gitorious grew into a business in 2009 [...]
