Greetings.

As we recently announced, we are working on migrating fedorahosted.org over to a newer instance or instances. We announced and held a activity day: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel-announce/2011-November/000857...

Which resulted in the following plans: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/infrastructure/2011-November/011140...

Per those plans, we have setup a RHEL6 test instance of fedorahosted.org and would like to ask people to test against it for issues or problems.

How to test:

edit your local /etc/hosts file and add:

66.135.62.191 fedorahosted.org git.fedorahosted.org svn.fedorahosted.org hg.fedorahosted.org

Then your requests will go against the new instance. Simply use trac, your scm and anything else as normal and note any issues or problems. The only thing that is disabled on this test instance is email. Please note any changes you make will be LOST. This instance is just for testing and will be resynced to real content from time to time.

If you could collect results and mail them to this list (infrastructure) that would be best for now.

Please do remember to remove the /etc/hosts entry when you are going to go back to the live/production instance.

If we don't see any nasty issues by monday, I will announce more widely for more testing. Then, hopefully by next wed we can decide if moving to rhel6 is going to be easy/feasable in the time we have.

Thanks in advance for any testing.
