[Posted on www.haiku-os.org, CC'ed to the general haiku mailing list,
haiku-development and haiku-web. Please comment on www.haiku-os.org.]
This message is intended for users of dev.haiku-os.org (also known as
Trac, or the bug tracker).
Hello all,
The website team is constantly trying to improve the user experience
of the various websites we maintain. In order to improve our existing
infrastructure, we are currently preparing a move to a new server
infrastructure, which is offered by the Internet Systems Consortium
[http://www.isc.org/]. ISC is a non-profit that, amongst many other
things, hosts kernel.org. We are more than grateful for this offer,
which will improve our responsiveness, especially during exposure on
Slashdot or OSNews.
This transition means that we have to redesign several aspects of the
server infrastructure. One of these things is the user account
handling. Because of the interactive nature of the main website and
the bug tracker, much of the functionality is tied to user accounts.
Up to now we have been able to use the user database of the main
website to authenticate users against dev.haiku-os.org. However, in
the new environment, we have to break this connection, until a better
solution is implemented.
On Monday the 9th of June, users of dev.haiku-os.org will no longer be
able to log in with the account they created on the main website. If
you have ever logged in on dev.haiku-os.org, you will be affected by
this change. You will receive an email with a new (randomly generated)
password, which you will be able to change to your liking.
Please read the full announcement on the website
[http://www.haiku-os.org/node/2171], including a short list of
questions and answers to clear up how it will affect you.
Kind regards,
The Haiku Web Team.
