git.kernel.org move (finally)... estimated week of Feb 5

git.kernel.org move (finally)... estimated week of Feb 5

[H. Peter Anvin]

Just for everyone's information...

The git performance issues (especially) on kernel.org has been very 
frustrating, obviously.  We're putting a dedicated git server in place 
hopefully the week of February 5.

Thanks.

Hope it will have fast git-web face also.

For the hardware geeks out there, do you know what kind of machine it will be?

Sure... it's the DL380 G2 that used to be zeus.kernel.org.  It's not 
ideal (in particular, I would have preferred a 64-bit machine), but it 
has the advantage that it's proven itself rock-solid over the years, it 
has all the hands-off management features, we have it, and it has 6 GB RAM.

As far as filesystem is concerned, we might decide to use this machine 
to test out XFS.  Haven't made the formal decision yet.

AMD64 with XFS.

IMHO 64 bits are on desktop and laptops over two years. So, i would like
to assign (my small, but maybe not only one due of) 50-70 EUR to help
with new hardware, if you wish.

And Mozilla Org. (Corp.) did bad joke with this.
I mean in terms of open source, Debian in particular (there's no fox
there any more).

Actually that's a good idea - why don't we put up a
donation-for-hardware appeal on kernel.org and may be someplace more
visible to raise around 8K USD for a 2x2 AMD64 machine with say 8Gig
of RAM? May be the disks etc. stuff can be shared/re-used off the
DL380 G2?

The KDE guys did something like that a little while ago. I pledge my
USD 100 upfront and I don't think we should have trouble getting 80
people donating USD 100 each.
