This is essentially done in https://git-tails.immerda.ch/puppet-tails/tree/manifests/reprepro/snapshots, and a PoC deployment lives on misc.lizard, but it can’t be fully deployed yet as we lack disk space (Feature #6303) and garbage collection mechanisms (see the todo list on the blueprint).

#10 Updated by intrigeri 2016-03-03 19:20:44

We now have the disk space, only garbage collection mechanisms are missing.

#11 Updated by intrigeri 2016-03-03 19:39:12

  • Target version changed from Tails_2.2 to Tails_2.3

#12 Updated by intrigeri 2016-03-25 22:40:10

  • blocks deleted (Feature #6303: Adapt our infrastructure to be able to handle tons of packages)

#13 Updated by intrigeri 2016-03-25 22:42:03

This was deployed on the production VM and is working fine. GC mechanisms are WIP and should be done by April 3 if no big unexpected problem comes up.

#14 Updated by intrigeri 2016-04-25 13:01:08

  • Target version changed from Tails_2.3 to Tails_2.4

  • Status changed from In Progress to Resolved
  • Assignee deleted (intrigeri)
  • % Done changed from 50 to 100

This was completed in April. The last bits (GC mechanism) are tracked on Feature #6299.
