Deprecating and Removing https://review.opendev.org/p/ git repo mirrors
by Clark Boylan 20 Jul '20

20 Jul '20

The review.opendev.org Gerrit server's /p/ git mirrors are being deprecated and will be removed in the future. The reason for this is newer versions of Gerrit repurpose the /p/ path for PolyGerrit UI project dashboards. We have historically hosted a set of git repo mirrors at this path and CI jobs (and others) have used it. In order to avoid any trouble post Gerrit upgrades we would like to deprecate then disable this mirror as soon as possible. If you are using https://review.opendev.org/p/ or https://review.openstack.org/p/ urls you can replace them with https://opendev.org/ instead. This is our current canonical set of Gerrit git repo mirrors. If you do this you shouldn't notice any change when we disable the /p/ mirrors or when we upgrade Gerrit. In particular you will want to check your CI configurations for both server configs (in the case of Zuul, Jenkins, etc) and job content (devstack-gate GIT_BASE and other places that clone repositories). On July 31 we will disable the /p/ path to help shake out any remaining users to help them update in advance of any Gerrit upgrades. Thank you, Clark

Temporarily blocking AS4837 (China Unicom) from Git
by Jeremy Stanley 09 Jul '20

09 Jul '20

Due to a flood of connections from random addresses within AS4837 (China Unicom), we have temporarily blocked access to the opendev.org Git service from all prefixes they're announcing in BGP. This is not a decision we took lightly, but whatever distributed system these requests are coming from is not limited to any easily classified network set. We're also seeing similar activity from AS4134 (ChinaNet), and so may have to add filtering for their prefixes too in the near term. Hopefully we can lift this block once the problematic traffic subsides, or as soon as we implement better alternative mitigations. -- Jeremy Stanley
