This section of the wiki is intended to hold notes on SpamAssassin's infrastructure – mailing lists, svn, where to ask about getting stuff fixed, etc. The intended audience is the SpamAssassin committers. Hopefully most of this page will be simply links to pages in http://www.apache.org/dev/ , rather than duplicating too much of that site.
Reporting

Failures
http://issues.apache.org/jira/ is the bug-tracker used to report and track ASF infrastructure issues. There's no need to report anything if
Before reporting an issue, check http://status.apache.org/ which replaced http://monitoring.apache.org/status/ lists it as failed, btw in May 1014.
In some cases, you can also mail infrastructure /at/ apache.org
. there's a batch There are a number of mailing lists for ASF infrastructure management, see . See http://www.apache.org/dev/infra-mail.html for more information.
Machines we use
http://www.apache.org/dev/machines.html lists the ASF's machines. We use:
minotaur aka people: for publishing releases according to build/README (in svn); spamassassin.apache.org static content - This information is likely out of date but the build/README is accurate.
NOTE: Accounts for minotaur are for committers only – requested via the PMC chair.
SUFFERED CATASTROPHIC FAILURE April 2014: spamassassin.zones.apache.org: a Solaris Zone running on heliosgaea.apache.org, running various services, see SpamAssassinAsfZone
spamassassin-vm.apache.org: A CentOS VM that replaced the Solaris spamassassin.zones.apache.org. This box has the same IP as spamassassin.zones.apache.org as a secondary IP address.
spamassassin2.zones.apache.org: a Solaris Zone running on odyne.apache.org, running various services, see SpamAssassinAsfZone these services: buildbot, rsync, automc
Accounts for the zone are for committers only – requested via the PMC.

Creating accounts, granting karma, etc
- Account creation is detailed in the PMC FAQ: http://www.apache.org/dev/pmc.html
- Account karma can be granted by the PMC Chair: InfraNotes GrantingKarma
- PMC people: http://www.apache.org/dev/solaris-zones.html explains how to create an acct on the Solaris zones. Here is a quick guide:
- Create the account with this command:
- sudo useradd -d /export/home/fred -m -c "Fred Smith" fred
- Set a password with this command:
- sudo passwd fred
- Check for password file format errors with this command:
- sudo pwck
- Finally, if needed, add the user to sudoers in /etc/opt/sfw with this command:
- /opt/sfw/sbin/visudo
SSH Access for SpamAssassin VM Box
Create a user with useradd -c 'Full name of User' username that matches their ASF username.
Create a file with their public key for ssh to /etc/ssh/ssh_keys/<username>.pub
Add the username to the sshusers group with useradd -G sshusers <username> the zone.
Things to do if you're a new committer in SpamAssassin
...
We have several; not sure what machine they're hosted on. If you're a committer, and feel like it, it'd be great if you could help out with moderation – it's just a matter of bouncing spam that's being sent to the lists, bouncing mails being sent to the announce list, and approving people who aren't spammers for the other lists.unmigrated-wiki-markup
Administration and moderation is discussed in http://www.apache.org/dev/committers.html#mail-moderate ; this seems to be mostly up to date. \[http://www.ezmlm.org/ezman/ezman2. html#remote_admin Here's the EZMLM remote admin manual\].
More details are at http://www.apache.org/foundation/mailinglists.html .
...
Note that the static content is hosted in SVN at https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/spamassassin/site/ . If you make any changes on minotaur, be sure to check them in – you may have to copy the changed files from the checkout there into your own checkout, btw, to be able to authenticate correctly to the svn server; or better, do the change in your own checkout first, and simply 'svn up' on minotaur.
Web site visibility
Until recently, the main ASF websites were mirrored on another machine called 'ajax', where we have no login privileges. This meant that changes were quite hard to preview. These were the instructions:
...
HOWEVER this has now changed (as of Oct 20 2005) – minotaur is now the main site, and changes made there will be visible on http://SpamAssassin.apache.org/ immediately.
UPDATE: as of Jul 19 2006 – it's back on ajax again.
UPDATE: Nov 23 2006 – use 140.211.11.10 port 80. ho hum. updates about hourly.
See http://www.apache.org/dev/project-site.html for the official doco.
Our spamassassin.apache.org web site is configured so it displays static pages committed to our svn repo in directory "site". Commits made to there will be served immediately. Remember to refresh your browser cache to see a recent change.
As an alternative location, you also have a public HTML dir on minotaur – it's at http://people.apache.org/~yourusername/ , e.g. http://people.apache.org/~jm/ . This is not mirrored, and files . Files placed in minotaur:~/public_html will be visible there immediately. This is good for publishing prereleases and alphas.

Using the Zone
spamassassin.zones.apache.org and spamassassin2.zones.apache.org: see http://www.apache.org/dev/solaris-zones.html . thereThere's some more info at SpamAssassinAsfZone.
/etc/rc3.d/* output goes to /var/svc/log/milestone-multi-user-server:default.log ; rc2.d to milestone-multi-user:default.log .

BuildBot
see ContinuousTesting. when creating slaves on the Solaris zone, you cannot use "buildbot slave" to create it due to a bug in use of ptys; instead:

PASSWORD=slavepassword
NAME=slavename
mkdir /home/bbmass/slaves/$NAME

--passwd $PASSWORD --usepty=0

RuleQA / Nightly Masschecks
The RuleQA process is running on spamassassin2.zones.apache.org as a daemon named "freqsd".

If this daemon is not running (i.e. if the results reported at http://ruleqa.spamassassin.org/ are more than a day old) then it should be restarted:

# Update from SVN, just to make sure everything's current:
