-== snapshot.debian.org ==
-
-Currently snapshot.debian.net is operated by a single individual on their
-hardware at home. It is a service archiving old binary and source packages.
-Access to old packages, which have in the meantime been deleted from the
-regular debian archive, allows Developers and Users to debug upgrade problems,
-to check when regressions were introduced, to check if old packages had been
-miscompiled, to downgrade to older versions while bugs are being fixed etc.
-
-Requirements:
-
-* Two systems with sufficient storage, hosted somewhere not in the US (so we
- can import old non-US into it).
-* Storage should be at least on the order of 8T (currently snapshot.d.n is
- using about 4T), and easily expandable
-* remote management stuff

== data.d.o ==
A service by ftpmaster to host larger arch-all packages for datasets like
* ftpteam/Joerg Jaspert
-== new bugs.d.o ==
-
-Currently bugs runs on a single DL385g1 system which cannot keep up with the
-load that the BTS causes.
-
-Owner@bugs would like to split the BTS accross multiple hosts: two for incoming
-email and spam filtering (would not be required if we had the setup mentioned
-above), one master, and at least two user-facing web servers.
-
-Requirements (assuming the above mentioned mail system is in place, else add
-two mail servers):
-
-* two systems with fast disks (we don't need that much storage, some 200 gigs
- should suffice easily for a while - say 4x140 gig raid10), some ram for
- caching (say 16g?), and the CPU to handle the scripts (if we can get two quad
- cores per box that would be great)
-* one master that processes incoming email, changing bugs as required, and
- pushes the changes to the web facing servers
-
-Proposers:
-
-* Don Armstrong
-
-If the snapshot hosts go through we might be able to put the bugs front end
-webservers on them too. Probably a question of load but it can't hardly be
-worse than rietz at the moment.
-
-
-== merge.d.o ==
-
-I'd like to use Ubuntu's merge-o-matic to generate diffs between Debian's
-source archive and the source archives of various other Debian-based distros
-(Knoppix, Freespire, Mepis, Sidux, gNewSense and so on). The result will be
-much like patches.ubuntu.com. merge-o-matic downloads source packages, unpacks
-them and generates diffs against unpacked pure debian source packages. As a
-result lots of disk space would be required since the whole Debian archive plus
-an unpacked version of it and the same for each derivative distribution is
-needed.
-
-Requirements:
-
-* a system with sufficient disk space (how much is that?)

-== new ftp-master ==
-
-ftp-master's hardware is becoming old and warranty is running out (we keep extending it, but that's not for free either).
-
-We probably should look into getting a new machine somewhere in the US. Apart
-from recent CPUs, reasonable amount of ram (16-32g?) and the usual management
-fu primary requirement is reliable storage. We probably should look at some
-raid6, either internal or external for the master copy of the archive in the range
-of 2-4T (is that right, ftp folks?). Additionally some faster internal storage
-could be useful for the database part of the ftp archive (4 disks raid10?).
-
-== new backup.d.o ==
-
-bartok, the current backup.d.o, is getting old too, and there is not all that
-much spare space.
-
-We should be looking at replacing that eventually. A raid6 of big SATA disks
-would probably provide the required robustness and be cost-effective.

== new debian mail setup ==
A set of systems that will handle all incoming mail for all debian systems.
It still might make sense to eventually move @debian.org mail from master to a new
system but we don't need 4 dedicated hosts for that, probably. (weasel)

+Status (2009-05-04):
+
+We were quite successful in using other hosts as bugs web mirrors (even if
+right now we aren't running any due to other hardware failing), so that is
+a more or less solved problem. We also intent to move bugs-master to a kvm
+domain at ubc/ece once the blade there is fixed. And we can probably move
+incoming MX to a blade instance in darmstadt and another one at the same
+place as new bugs-master will be if the bugs folks still want that.
