Hello all,
I will reboot nightshade tonight at 0:20 UTC, because of a kernel-update
(Critical maintenance). Please see [[MNT-901]] for details.
Sincerly,
DaB.

It's not that toolserver admins are excentric adding such rule, but an
issue of WM-DE liability if such information is published.
However, I think that providing such file to just a few selected people
would be acceptable.
Also, as discussed with Ariel, I will gladly mirror such dumps at wm-es
web space.

Hi,
During the next maintenance window (Dec 6), we will switch from Sun Studio to
GCC as the standard C and C++ compiler for ts-specs (/opt/ts). If you have
have locally-compiled C or C++ software, you should read the rest of this mail.
Otherwise, this change does not affect you.
We this change for several reasons:
+ Some open source software (especially C++ software) is only tested on
GCC, and doesn't compile with other compilers. We have to maintain
(sometimes extensive) local patch sets to compile this software with Studio.
+ On x86, using GCC doesn't cause a performance penalty, and GCC now supports
some features (e.g. OpenMP) which were previously only supported in Studio.
+ Since C++ ABIs are not portable between compilers, we currently need to
provide compiled libraries for both compilers.
+ Users often try to link software using the GCC compiler, but with the
Studio-compiled libraries.
If you compile C or C++ software, this change will affect you as follows:
+ If you use TS GCC 4.4 (in /opt/ts/gcc/4.4/bin), you do not *have* to make any
changes, but we will shortly be installing GCC 4.5 and making /opt/ts/bin/gcc
(and g++) symlinks to the latest compiler versions. So, you may wish to switch
to /opt/ts/bin/gcc when this is done rather than using a specific compiler
version.
+ If you use Sun GCC 3.4.3 (in /usr/sfw/bin), you should switch to our GCC, because
we will remove Sun's GCC during the maintenance window. (However, we will
not remove the runtime libraries, so there is no need to recompile
immediately.)
+ If you use Studio (cc and CC), you should switch to GCC (gcc and g++) and
recompile.
+ GCC-specific compiled libraries, currently in /opt/ts/<library>/<version>-gcc,
will stay there for now, in order to avoid breaking existing software.
During the following maintenance window (Jan 3), the Studio versions in
/opt/ts/<library>/<version> will be replaced with the GCC version, so using
the "-gcc" suffix will no longer be necessary.

My PHP scripts for the contests tool seem to be consistently timing
out after 2 minutes now. I have max_execution_time set to 7 minutes in
both the scripts themselves and in .htaccess. The contests tool is
pretty much unusable with a 2 minute timeout since average batch
upload time for a team is about 3-4 minutes.
Any suggestions?

Crossposting.
This dump is in /mnt/user-store/dump or dumps, on Toolserver. If the admins
don't see any problem, it may be put available for download (~30GB).

Hi.
There seems to be a problem with character encoding in (at least) the
Polish Wikipedia database. At first I thought it was the problem with my
script but phpMyAdmin and even shell mysql also shows weird characters.
See for example:
SELECT page_title FROM page WHERE page_id = 2117937
Or a lot more here:

Hi,
During the general maintenance on Dec 6th, we will change the default Python
version (/usr/bin/python) on the Solaris user servers from 2.6 to 2.7. You may
wish to test your tools with /usr/bin/python2.7 before then.

Hi,
Looking at the queue graph
http://munin.toolserver.org/OSM/ptolemy/tirex_status_queued_requests.html
it seems like tirex will *never* be able to get actually to work on the
background queue, the regarding requests are seemingly from the early seventies ;-)
http://toolserver.org/~mazder/tirex-status/?short=1&extended=0&refresh=0
Name Priority Rendering MaxRend Maxload Active Can Queued Age
background 20- 0 4 4 yes no 2577 25017:05-25030:14
I know that some work has been done to put less load to the "dirty" queue, and
to even rearrange the queues/buckets, but so far ptolemy seems unable to keep
up with the current amount of tiles needing rerender. Since prognoses say there
will be even more load tomorrow than today, how can we manage to limit the
load.
Do we have to take down some style sheets? Limit zoom levels (e.g. disable Z11
or Z18)?
Kind regards,
Kay
Hi;
Who are downloading the Domas visits logs in /mnt/user-store/stats? The
script is not downloading the projectcounts-* files, and the are necesary
too. Can anyone give me a copy of the projectcounts-200911* of November
2009? Their combined size must be < 15MB. Thanks.

Hi,
I've a couple of questions about the SGE.
Is possible to have some notifications when a job exceeds the running
time set by h_rt? What is the signal used to terminate the job?
SIGTERM or SIGKILL?
I've tried to set h_rt=0:1:0 and the logs (output and error) are
empty, although the application has produced some output before the
killing.
