subversion.crbs.ucsd.edu is online

Use your crowd login - you must be a member of the crbs-sysops groups to write to the systems repo. 

Currently the puppet code has been migrated to SVN.  It was checked in at https://subversion.crbs.ucsd.edu/systems/apps/puppet and the CVS repo for puppet should not be used.

If you're interested in using our SVN repository, contact Kennon Kwok at kkwok_at_ncmir_dot_ucsd_dot_edu.

Gliffy Plugin Installed

I've installed the Gliffy plugin, which allows you to create diagrams, flowcharts, floorplans, network diagrams, etc. from within Confluence.  I put a quick, easy example here .  For better examples, see http://www.gliffy.com/examples/flow-charts/

new cobbler server is online

I've relocated the installation server from my desktop (dev-234) to a production vm (cobbler.crbs.ucsd.edu).  Cobbler services have been turned off on dev-234.  The iso location has been updated in confluence to http://cobbler.crbs.ucsd.edu/cobbler-ks.iso

Bamboo Server upgraded

The Bamboo build test server, bamboo.crbs.ucsd.edu, has been relocated to an upgraded server at SDSC.  Back on the "old" server, both the bamboo and bamboo-dev services were disabled.

I installed Apache Directory Studio on dev-central.crbs.ucsd.edu primarily to allow us to import .ldif files when we are on wireless or at home.  It required X to be operational on the server where it was installed.  I also installed NX for speed.  To run it, execute /usr/local/ApacheDirectoryStudio-linux-x86_64-1.4.0.v20090407/ApacheDirectoryStudio

It's setup to hit production LDAP.  It will prompt you for the password when you try to connect.  Please, DO NOT SAVE THE PASSWORD!
