Arch Schwag part of the website is broken

I do not know who specifically to contact with this issue. I hope they can find it here, or someone here knows who specifically to forward this to. I looked at the Bug tracker but there was no website option.

I have nothing to do with the Schwag site, but it would be useful if you could describe what's "broken" and maybe post a link.

I think he/she means the "Arch Schwag" link thats on the homepage:

http://schwag.archlinux.ca/

Link: http://schwag.archlinux.ca/
It is a direct link on the arch linux website, under the "Support Arch" part.

It fails, displaying a whole bunch of python source code. Aside from not looking professional, it's insecure (you don't want to display your internal file structure for a website from which things can be bought, possibly with credit cards)

Here is what I get from the top of the page:

<class 'django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured'> Python 2.6: /home/archlinu/bin/python

I dispatched an email to dusty about the issue.

Allan · 2010-01-24 04:11:25

He accidentally delete most of the archlinux.ca domain...

Ghost1227 · 2010-01-24 04:15:52

wow.. how'd that happen??

Xyne · 2010-01-24 04:25:34

Well, if you read through the source code, you can clearly see where he's been laundering the Schwag money. He was obviously trying to wipe the evidence before going into early retirement in Cancun.

Back in the land of seriousness, I too am curious now.

Allan · 2010-01-24 04:28:42

I believe "rm -rf *" was the culprit....

I can not find where I saw it originally, but "Arch Bounty" will never be revived because of that:

Ghost1227 · 2010-01-24 04:31:35

Heh... that project was a great idea, but the backing just wasn't there. May it rest in peace.

You mean Dusty broke it, and not you?

Ghost1227 · 2010-01-24 04:35:01

I just got a reply from Dusty. The schwag site itself actually was restored after the inadvertent removal, but the a recent update to mysql broke the python bindings. He said that he's in the middle of a blizzard at the moment and his power keeps going out so recovery is going slowly, but will have everything operation as soon as possible.

That's a shame.

I'll have to ask him exactly what happened. I'm somewhat curious how he could accidentally wipe several domains but not all of them. As far as I can tell, my subdomain wasn't affected, but I mirror regularly and don't use the database for anything, so it could have been wiped and restored without me even noticing.

More importantly, it seems that the reign of Allan the Breaker has come to an end.
All hail the new Breakmaster General, Dusty!

Allan · 2010-01-24 04:47:05

Well, I had been replaced by Bash anyway

Xyne · 2010-01-24 05:12:17

If the devs keep breaking things as this rate, keeping track of the Breakmaster General will end up being as difficult as tracing royal European lineages (but hopefully with less incest involved).

Also, I propose that "Breakmaster General" (or "Borkmaster General") be made an official title and posted on the site somewhere. The title can only be relinquished by passing it to a worthy successor.

Dusty · 2010-01-24 20:03:31

As I'm not a dev, I guess I get to be the community breakmaster general.

The current error on all my sites is caused by, I think, a mysql upgrade on the host that, somehow, bjorked the Python connector to mysql. I haven't been able to fix it because of a blizzard in these parts. Power, and satellite internet are both sketchy.

The rm -rf error only hit a few of the directories that start with the letters a-c or so, I *think*: arch-home, archcon, archcon2010, bounty, bbs, and ccphillips.net. The schwag site, kpiche's subdomain, xyne's subdomain, and several others were not affected because rm tried to remove a file it didn't have permission to and I realized what was going on. This new problem is coincidental, and NOT MY FAULT. But it's my job to fix, as soon as I can get a solid ssh connection to the host... maybe in June.

Well, I'm sorry but in that case you're just not qualified to be the next Breakmaster General. Bash retains the title for now.

Long live the breakage of Bash!

Wait, that's not right...

Dusty · 2010-01-25 20:36:32

Hey all,

The mysql connector is back up, and all my python/django/mysql based sites are running. I swear to god, I'm switching everything over to postgres just as soon as I have the time. Maybe I'll rewrite everything using Python 3 and Psyclone, just for kicks.

In other good news, after about an hour on a 1960's tractor, my yard is now accessible again. Another two hours of shovelling, sawing, and snowshoeing, there is also a path from my shop and barn to my house that goes sort of through, and sort of over the trees and 10-12 foot snow drifts in my yard.

Coding on a roller coaster? Completely geekcore!

Psyclone is a port of Tornado to Python 3, that's where the name came from, that's all, I swear... I hate roller coasters...
