Confluence infrastructure changes 09/23/2008 06:47PM

There will be intermittent outages to Confluence during the window to upgrade the JVM and make threading changes.

This is part of the ongoing effort to stabilise Confluence.

Unity powered sites will continue to operate during the outage.

Fisheye upgrade 09/12/2008 05:17AM

We’ve had quite a few issues with repositories; the recommendation from Atlassian is to upgrade; so we’re doing an emergency upgrade to try and quell the issues.

Sit back and relax.

Spam attack 09/09/2008 08:38AM

There is yet another fine spam attack occurring.

There are 42K messages in the queue and they will take time to clear.

We are investigating acquiring a new server to cover mail requirements.

(We’ve moved to UCE DNSBL 1+2; and switched to an rsynced version rather than the direct DNS query version)

codehaus03 mail slow 08/27/2008 07:01PM

Email is currently backed up due to DNS issues (that mean we can’t use the spamhaus DNS RBL). You WILL receive your email; but it might take some time.

We are also aware of the issues in resending the verification messages and will be fixing that later today.

Please be patient – and blame the spammers (and an almost perfect storm)

Confluence outage 08/04/2008 07:29PM

We’re upgrading docs.codehaus.org to run on Tomcat to try and resolve some out-of-memory issues.

The outage should be far less than 2 hour.

Unity powered sites should be unaffected by the outage.

PostgreSQL on codehaus04 07/21/2008 04:42PM

We now have a PostgreSQL database on the build server.

Raise a chore to get databases / users created for your builds.

Mail Archive 07/05/2008 06:05PM

There is an outage on the mail archive due to a data migration failure.

This is being repaired by Contegix and everything should be online at the end of this outage.

In the interim, you can use http://codehaus.markmail.org/ for all your archive needs.

ical 07/02/2008 07:08AM

You can now subscribe to an ical feed of outages and other time based events.

This capability will be rolled out Xircles wide at some point (so projects can schedule events etc).

For the main outage feed; point your calendar at:

webcal://xircles.codehaus.org/ical

or

Any issues; let us know – support hat codehaus.org
(we think we’ve nailed all the timezone issues; but who knows)

Confluence 2.8 upgrade #2 07/01/2008 06:52AM

Confluence will be upgraded to version 2.8

Start: July 5, 2008 03:00 AM (CDT -0500)

Finish: July 5, 2008 08:00 AM (CDT -0500)

Sites that use the Confluence back-end (“Unity” powered) will remain available during this outage.

Apparently there are some minor theming issues with 2.8; so if you have made theme edits in Confluence (only a handful of projects); please check your sites to ensure they display correctly after the update (as we may not notice certain nuances).

(This is a repeat outage after a failure last week; we have successfully upgraded into a staging environment and corrected the issues that caused failures last week)

Confluence 2.8 upgrade 06/24/2008 01:57AM

Outage window extended – upgrade proceeding well but slowly

Upgrade failed; issues have been escalated to Atlassian and we’ll try again next weekend
