Shiny new Subversion and Trac cluster

Posted by Jeremy Kemper February 10, 2007 @ 08:08 AM

You’ve all noticed the excruciating Rails svn updates and Trac molasses in the last couple of weeks. Following the release of Rails 1.2 we thoroughly overwhelmed our development server, no small feat for a hefty dual Xeon. Congratulations, all, for your hearty Rails appetite! Your sustained Mbps say more than words possibly could.

Our friends at TextDrive have stepped up once again to keep Rails development running smoothly and your production apps deploying predictably. Please give a warm welcome to our new development cluster, a load-balanced crew of SunFires and Thumpers hosting Trac at dev.rubyonrails.org and Subversion at svn.rubyonrails.org.

Subversion will remain available at the old dev URL so you needn’t touch your live apps. Feel free to migrate to the new URL at your own speed.

    I tried sending a comment and adding me as Cc here:

    http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/7372

    and it gave me a trac error.

    This report also results in an error:

    dharana, the spam filter was misbehaving and has been spanked. I fixed the query too. Thanks for reporting!
