[Scummvm-devel] Fwd: Project web service changes for your projects

[Max Horn]

For your information / consideration.

See also <http://tinyurl.com/sfprweb>, specifically <http://tinyurl.com/sfprweb#ChangesasofFebruary2011>

In a nutshell, the location of the web data on the Sourceforge.net servers will change in the near future, and while the old paths will work for some time still, eventually this will stop. So any scripts that rely on the specific location of stuff on the web / shell servers needs to be adapted.

Cheers,
Max

> Hello,
> 
> We are pleased to announce the rollout of our updated project web
> service to all projects.  This rollout has been undertaken on an
> expedited basis to make security improvements available for this
> service and was announced to our blog at the start of our incident
> response.
> 
> Full details are in our site docs at: http://tinyurl.com/sfprweb
> 
> This updated service has been tested over the past few months and
> provides substantial improvements:
> 
> * File access is now per-project when file perms are set properly,
> allowing you to safeguard database passwords and other confidential
> data.
> * Directory space is now writable by your app code, eliminating the
> need to use our old /home/persistent space.
> * Web logs are available (IPs are obfuscated).
> * Updated PHP, Python, Perl, etc.
> * Outbound email is permitted via authenticated SMTP service (password
> is per-project).
> 
> Your applications may need updates to work under new PHP (5.3 has some
> changes) and optimally with our new file permissions model.  Please
> review the documentation provided above and contact us at
> sfnet_ops at geek.net if you have any questions.
> 
> Rollout will commence today (Wednesday) with 'a' projects, continuing
> through the alphabet until all migrations are complete.  For further
> progress information, please watch our blog at:
