Upgrading mailing lists on 2023-11-02
by Jeremy Stanley 31 Oct '23

31 Oct '23

On Thursday, November 2, 2023 beginning at 15:30 UTC the OpenDev Collaboratory is upgrading the version of Mailman used to host the Airship, Kata, OpenDev, OpenInfra, OpenStack, StarlingX and Zuul mailing list sites from 3.3.8 to 3.3.9 along with related updates to its various component services (django-mailman3 1.3.9->1.3.11, hyperkitty 1.3.7->1.3.8, postorius 1.3.8->1.3.10, mailman-web 0.0.6->0.0.8). There will be brief downtime for the web interface while services are restarted, and some message deliveries may be briefly delayed but will still eventually be processed. One of the updates includes a database migration that implicitly clears the auth sessions table, so users who were logged into the web interface will be effectively logged out and need to log in again before performing authenticated operations. Web interfaces may have a slightly different look and feel after the update, and some new options too. Changelogs can be found here for anyone interested in seeing a list of what's new: https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/NEWS.… https://gitlab.com/mailman/django-mailman3/-/blob/v1.3.11/README.rst https://gitlab.com/mailman/hyperkitty/-/blob/v1.3.8/doc/news.rst https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/-/blob/v1.3.10/src/postorius/doc/news.… https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman-web/-/blob/0.0.8/README.rst -- Jeremy Stanley

Upgrading review.opendev.org to Gerrit 3.8 on November 17, 2023
by Clark Boylan 30 Oct '23

30 Oct '23

On November 17, 2023 beginning at 15:30 UTC the OpenDev team will upgrade Gerrit at https://review.opendev.org from Gerrit 3.7 to 3.8. This upgrade shouldn't take more than an hour. We have managed to to keep our Gerrit installation about one major release behind upstream's release cadence, and Gerrit 3.9's impending release means it is time for us to upgrade to 3.8. There are a number of new features, bug fixes, and performance improvements in the new version. The Gerrit project publishes detailed release information [0] which you can review if you are interested in what sorts of changes to expect. If you are interested in the upgrade process you can follow that in our planning document [1]. It is worth noting that if all goes well we expect the total Gerrit downtime to be much shorter than an hour (should only take a few minutes). If we need to revert to Gerrit 3.7, we will need to do offline reindexing of our changes which takes about half an hour. We are using an hour long upgrade window to ensure we have time for downgrades should that become necessary.
