Alioth upgraded to FusionForge 5.0
I just upgraded alioth.debian.org from FusionForge 4.8 to the new version 5.0. That should only mean a number of improvements (including fixes for problems that had been reported in support requests), but if there are regressions please tell us about them.
Key-based SSH access restored
Please see http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2008/05/msg00004.html for the details.
Public key logins temporarily disabled
Due to a weakness in OpenSSL's randon number generator, SSH keys have been removed on Alioth, and SSH logins through public-key authentication have been disabled. The latter will be restored when some safeguards have been set up so that insecure keys are not re-installed. Please upgrade your OpenSSL libraries as per the Debian Security Advisory #1571, then ensure your keys are safe (or, preferably, generate new keys), then install them on your account management page.
Old Alioth database restored
Due to a unfortunate mistake, we lost the database and had to restore an old backup. Please check
Alioth documentation in the Wiki
Since several people complained about the lack of documentation concerning Alioth I decided to write down the most important things in a Wiki page.
greylisting
In order to filter out more spam reaching Alioth users I modified the email setup to use greylisting.
Alioth moving
Alioth, along with arch.debian.org and svn.debian.org will be moving to a new machine this week. In preparation of that we will not be making any changes to quantz (the machine currently running those services). All pending and new change requests will be processed after the move. This should not affect any projects until the moment when we do the actual switch, during which the whole system will be taken offline in order to prevent dataloss. There will be a seperate announcement for that.
Alioth partially down
Hi there,
Project notification not working
At this moment project notification is not working properly. This means that if you registered a project on Alioth you will not get notified when it is accepted or rejected, so please check occasionally to check your product status.
