Hi SAC,
http://seclists.org/bugtraq/2011/Dec/30
is an advance notice that security support for Debian GNU/Linux 5.0
(code name "lenny") will be terminated in two months.
The security support for the old release of 5.0 is going
to end on the 6th of February 2012 as previously announced.
We need to upgrade all (almost) OSGeo machines to the
current stable release.
Is there anything special to consider for the VMs?

I'm already in preparation of such upgrade for the Wiki VM and given
the fact that these VM's are running a regular distro kernel I don't
expect any major trouble.
Cheers,
Martin.

Hi,
I plan on upgrading the adhoc VM to Squeeze tomorrow, starting at
00:00 UTC Sat 18 Dec. That's about 23 hours from now.
Expected downtime ~ 1 hour.

Hi,
well, I got as far as upgrading the stuff which didn't need dist-upgrade,
then the kernel and udev, but upon rebooting directly after installing
udev it doesn't seem to want to come back up. 
maybe stuck on fsck wanting to press "c" to continue or something..?
manual edits (sync with earlier custom mods) of note were to bootmisc.sh
and hosts.deny.
some host level intervention on the non-virtual machine is requested to
see what the trouble is..
thanks,
Hamish

For the next distro upgrade of any OSGeo VM I'd recommend to draw a
well-defined line. Rebooting is safe after upgrading ("aptitude
install") apt, aptitude, dpkg plus their required dependencies. But
everything past this point, including kernel environment and boot
loader, should be done in one single "dist-upgrade" without further
reboot.
Cheers,
Martin.

... simply following the order of ceremonies from
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html#upgrading-udev
which recommends that you take care of the kernel & udev + reboot before
the doing the dist-upgrade.
we'll see what happened soon enough, Alex was kind enough to pass a request
to osuosl & I was logging the session up to that point.
Hamish
ps- mod file was /etc/init.d/denyhosts not hosts.deny btw
Since the 6th of February 2012 is approaching quickly, we should
get a plan for the other machines to be updated.
I would like to get the projectsVM updated soon and I am willing to
do that (maybe with some remote assistance backup from others).
No idea though about the other systems awaiting update.

As far as I can tell, the only systems having seen a dist-upgrade are
"wiki" and "adhoc". To be honest, my main motivation for upgrading the
Wiki was to get a newer PHP version as a preparatory step for a
MediaWiki update ....
I'll take care of the "secure" and the "backup" VM. I'm planning to do
the dist-upgrade on "secure" this monday starting at approx. 15:00 UTC
In contrast, the "backup" is pretty non-critical because it's idling
most of the day.
Cheers,
Martin.

Starting to dist-upgrade the "secure" VM now, expect occasional LDAP
outages,

Network trouble @ OSUOSL ? Anyone having access to the Wiki pages ? Or
is this just me ?

Dist-upgrade of the "secure" VM is mostly over and LDAPS should be
working. Anyhow, I still have to deal with the boot loader and will
finally issue two reboots,

Ok, I think I've finished the journey. Please test, test, test,

Mmmmh, looks like the OSUOSL sites are unavailable again ....

Done so, all updated.
But: reboot seems to fail, so console access is needed (how?).
Just in case:
I made a copy of /etc in /backup_projectsVM_etc/

Folks,
I will try to followup with OSU OSL. In the meantime the Projects
VM (gdal.org, mapserver.org grass.org and other stuff) is down.
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/ProjectsVM
I'll try to be available in #telascience or #osgeo to consult on this
matter. I will
also notify OSGeo discuss and the gdal-dev and mapserver-users list of the
extended downtime.
Best regards,

Since it's not in regular production use all over the day, I'll be
upgrading the backup machine later today as my schedule permits.
Cheers,
