Squeaksource.com is down

The squeaksource.com service is down due to a failure in the squeaksource image.

Cause of failure and estimated time to fix are not yet known. Recovery may
require rebuilding from a backup image from 5 October 2016, so additional
downtime and possible loss of account data are likely. All actual files are
intact on the server and no data loss is anticipated.

There seems to be a suspicious link between the fifth of the month and
squeaksource.com going down...
It's not entirely down, but it's not working as expected either...

Re: Squeaksource.com is down

Thanks, hopefully just the user interface is scrambled. This happens when
a new user registers with a multibyte user name (which happens
surprisingly often, I would not have expected a lot of new users).

I am away, returning home 10 hours from now. I'll check into it then if no
one else has done so.

Yes, that's exactly the case. We should fix that.

I tried to, but the VM wouldn't respond to USR2.

And make sure its versioned into the code packages in the /ss
repository. It can be loaded with:

Installer new merge: #squeaksource

A lot of other bugs that got fixed in that code when source.squeak.org
got upgraded, but I never went through the dirty packages in the
production squeaksource.com image to evaluate whether those changes
are needed in the latest code. We should do that too.

Re: Squeaksource.com is down

The fans of Chelsea football are known to sing to their fullback, César Azpilicueta:

"Azpilicueta, we'll just call you Dave"

Maybe that's the way to go here? ;-)

Thanks, the UI web page should be back to normal now. Apologies to new user
Bruno MᲣio Ramos de Souza Novaes, whose name name I mangled in
the repository as 'Bruno M?io Ramos de Souza Novaes'.

And yes we should fix that. A good name should not be mangled.

My understanding is that updating Squeak + Seaside will resolve the WideString
problem for user names. That will happen when we update squeaksource.com to
be consistent with source.squeak.org, which IMO would be a good thing to do
in January.

An excellent strategy, what could possibly go wrong?
