Hi!

Sorry, couldn't make it, but some comments/questions:

   * How to prevent server problems we had at the weekend?           * downloads.riot-os.org was moved from kupfer to Kaspar's server due to power outage at FU        * => Kaspar became single point of failure        * Solutions:                   * More people access to kupfer            * Move to server at HAW (smlng can grant access to other people)            * More people access to Kaspar's server?

point of failure - independent if it is hosted at FUB, HAW or Hetzner. We should have at least one fallback server.

   * Simon plans to rework GNRC TCP in the extended future (at Hack'n'ACKs?)

Can't we first merge the current solution ASAP and then do the rework?

Cheers, Oleg

Hi,

From my point of view, the most important view is getting rid of this single point of failure - independent if it is hosted at FUB, HAW or Hetzner. We should have at least one fallback server.

   * Simon plans to rework GNRC TCP in the extended future (at Hack'n'ACKs?)

I don't think it sends a good signal if we merge a PR that was build against an API we just deprecated... I'd rather do the rework to sock with Sebastian (and/or Simon) myself than having conn_tcp merged at this point, since I'm working on sock_tcp for lwIP in the next few days I think I will gather enough experience (and have enough preparation) to maybe be able to do this in a few hours with their guidance.

Cheers, Martine

Please don't get rid of me! :wink:

- independent if it is hosted at FUB, HAW or Hetzner. We should have at least one fallback server.

For downloads.riot-os.org, kupfer worked fine for years without downtime. Let's have the domain point back there. My webserver can serve as backup, it is already set up. Oleg and I can set up automatic mirroring between the two, and maybe Oleg can provide access to the riot-os.org name server, so when sth like this happens the next time, we can switch more quickly.

(The problem was prolonged because *noone* had a local copy of a needed file...)
