GHC git server issue : warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_AU.UTF-8)
Hi all, I'm getting the above warning messahe every time I pull from the main GHC git repo. The strange thing is that this only happens on the GHC repo, on a whole bunch of others I get no such warning. After some pretty rigorous investigation I concluded that this is actually a issues with the GHC sit server. Since I'm doing the pull over ssh, ssh passes my environment (include LC_*) to the server, but the server doesn't support en_AU.UTF-8. To explore further, I sshed into darcs.haskell.org and it seems that locales are completely broken on this machine. Not even en_US.UTF-8 is support. I suppose its not a big deal but it would be nice to fix so no one else wastes any time debugging this.

Sounds like someone needs to run "locale-gen en" on the server. More generally, who is now in charge of the server(s)? There is a nice wiki page about the proposed migration to gitolite, but I couldn't find the wiki page that describes the haskell.org infrastructure. Where is it hosted? Who are the sysadmins. Who is "in charge?" How can new people contribute? Geoff
I did this. Thanks for the tip. Let me know if anything else is going on.
The page describing the old server setup is here:
http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Haskell.org_domain - I was going to
take the time to update this earlier this week but got sidetracked
unfortunately. In the meantime, the current standing set of admins
are:
- Peter Simons
- Vo Minh Thu
- Merijn Verstraaten
- John Wiegley
and I am one of the new infrastructure administrators as well. You can
consider me a go-to point if there are problems with ghc.haskell.org
since I'm a committer as well.
Right now things are a bit transitional; we still need to organize
some stuff like where to report server issues, etc. I will hopefully
be able to clear some of this up in the next week or so. And also make
it clear where you can report problems, etc.
