b2evolution has long been out of date, needs an upgrade. I've already done testing, and b2evolution provides a simple upgrade frontend. Tested that as well on a temporary database and everything seemed to go well without a hitch. We will lose our custom Gentoo skin, but nightmorph has volunteered to write a replacement. (I've actually been meaning to upgrade for a long time, and had done all the backend testing, just need a bug to get me to remember to finish) Upgrade process: - shut down access to blogs, stop planet cron momentarily - backup database (also confirm afterwards that db is being backed up regularly) - archive webpages - install frontend, upgrade backend, migrate frontend to /developers/ - check planet feeds - restart cron, restore access, email core
http://blogs.gentoo.org is live Added a permanent redirect from http://planet.gentoo.org/developers, so old feeds and links will still work.
