[Savannah-hackers-public] Savannah recovery TODO

[Sylvain Beucler]

Hi Hackers,

Here are the current tasks that I think we need to do:

- Check savannah-announce if not already (last mail was a few minutes
  ago)

- Ping curse (Ward) so we can change the read-only status of
  /mnt/nfs-extra/ . Currently everything was moved to disk except for
  /sources within 'vcs-noshell'
  (cf. /etc/vservers/vcs-noshell/fstab.remote)

- Once that's done, remove old data from it to make room
  (ping me, lots of things are moving around, no need to lose more
  valuable data)

- Decide if restore webcvs from May 27th or attempt to recover the
  last 2 days commits from www.gnu.org and www.nongnu.org; for #2,
  write a script that can update the backup (faked commits).

- Write a script to check the logs and branches of the git and hg
  repository, to see if one needs to be restored from May 27th (they
  were all restored from April 29th, some users pushed the latest
  changes, but maybe not everybody if the project is currently
  inactive)

- Import repositories when requested. If there's an old request to
  import from April 29th, make sure people know there's the May 27th
  backup (ask them to confirm) - cf. mail "New recovery process" to
  savannah-announce.

If you can work on one of these tasks, please say so :)
