Question thread #96

[pauamma]

It's time for another question thread!

The rules:

- You may ask any dev-related question you have in a comment. (It doesn't even need to be about Dreamwidth, although if it involves a language/library/framework/database Dreamwidth doesn't use, you will probably get answers pointing that out and suggesting a better place to ask.)
- You may also answer any question, using the guidelines given in To Answer, Or Not To Answer and in this comment thread.

i have let my current dreamhack bitrot to the point where i would just like to blow it away and get a new one - who do i ping about that? i tried the current link in the wiki and got no response.

[pauamma]

By "current link in the wiki", do you mean https://wiki.dreamwidth.net/wiki/index.php/Dreamhack_Troubleshooting#I_want_to_wipe_my_install_and_start_over ?

[hitchhiker]

huh, managed to miss that! thanks!!

If you continue to get no response, our Discord server is also a good place to ask for help.

Did this end up working for you? I can see about wiping and resetting otherwise.

i didn't get the notification email, but when i tried to ssh in i did get the "this is the first time you've logged in" message, so it looks like it did do something. however, it didn't appear to install the required dependencies:

Oh, I bet we never added it to the system Perl libraries. Can you try again? I just installed it globally on the hack box.

[hitchhiker]

thanks, works fine now! the only other immediate issues i could see were that it checked out the code in the `develop` branch rather than `master`, and when i switched to master (which did have the latest commits) and ran `prove` the tidy test failed.

[momijizukamori]

Oh, looks like the global Perl had a different version of Tidy than we use in prod - I just upgraded that, which may make the error go away? But we also had an issue with a file tidied on the wrong version getting merged to master recently, so it could be that too.

[hitchhiker]

yep, that fixed the tidy tests! i should be good to go now, thanks for the quick response :)

[hitchhiker]

some more issues (is this a useful place to report them or should i file a bug on github instead?)

[hitchhiker]

also while i have your attention, could you please install 'tig' on the dreamhack? :)

[momijizukamori]

I will bring it up with the arbitrators of dreamhack truth (aka mark and alierak)
