New server

[Licho]

As you probably noticed, server has been moved to a new fridge.

New one is much more powerful (8GB RAM, i7 920, 2x 1TB disk), so if you have spring-related project that needs hosting, let us know! It can host both linux and windows-based projects.

I purchased the server for one year.

If you encounter a problem with existing project hosted on that machine, tell someone!

People with root access are:
aegis
Det
Licho
Lurker
Tobi

I'd like to request root access to your server.

If it's stable enough it may be useful to host some relayhosts
also, see http://tinyurl.com/y94nmju, it's about a problem with an italian isp and new server, we may need a lobby proxy to allow italian users staying connected decently

[hoijui]

the change is noticeable here, the forum responds much quicker.
thanks

no.

I guess he doesn't even know what is root

tizbac, i already thought about this. How to install relay hosts?

I could be nice for me to have some space to put up a debian spring apt repository, where being able to publish binary and source packages before they hit official repositories.

If you have spare cpu and some disk we could also serve latest stable and 2-3 ubuntu release too probably.

Maybe Chris is interested in that too. Also an autobuilder from git sources could be provided to ease testing.

Debian side, I'm publishing packages on alioth as now, but I cannot provide too many map packages due to huge maps sizes; let me know if those idead are something you could want.

How securely are our passwords stored exactly? There's been a lot of advances in hash reversal lately, how do we store/generate our password hashes?

[tizbac]

TASServer password are stored as base64 of md5 hash of the password
They are stored on accounts.txt as base64

There are about 1300 maps, making deb packages of them isn't that useful, instead making packages of mods would be good idea, since they aren't that much

Clone tasbot git repository and relayhosts git repo and merge them on a directory, then add as many accounts as you want( they get registered automatically )

The main problem is that you need to hack failserver to make them appearing with server's ip instead of localhost

[Tobi]

How so?

Even ChanServ has non-local IP... AFAIK you just need to connect to the right IP, i.e. NOT to 127.0.0.1

It is a good idea to provide some popular maps, otherwise people will have an hard time trying this game for the first time (e.g from a Debian DVD/Game live CD bought from the newspaper kiosk).

Anyway the main idea is a place to provide updated packages or autobuilt packages from latest git HEAD.

I'm currently working on getting a buildbot setup back for spring. Tobi and I had the idea of generating source packages to be pushed to a buntu ppa. Did you have sth in mind for auto build debian packages already? I have heard of git-buildpackage, but know no details and would very much like help and input on any aspect of packaging.

Yes I'm using git-buildpackage with schroot on a lvm-snapshots, but multiple distribution builds can be done also with pbuilder with or without cowdancer.

That way a temporary source package with latest tag (eg 0.8.5.2) and latest git could be built for all interesting ubuntu releases (like latest stable and latest LTS) and relevant debian releases (stable and unstable).

Actually this has been a problem, BrainDamage had to tweak it and he also had to tweak dedicated server to allow binding to given IP.

To be clearer about passwords.

Current lobbies do an md5 of what you type. This hash is what's used to login, and is stored directly into accounts.txt
