A kernel.org status update

Hi All, As you know, we've been working very hard on building a new kernel.org infrastructure from the ground up. This new infrastructure will no longer have shell access to the git repositories; instead we will be running git using the gitolite web glue. Gitolite uses ssh keys to push into it, so we will start sending out new ssh credentials to the active developers who had kernel.org accounts before - please contact me or John so we can establish secure communications (ideally through gpg keys). One disadvantage of moving away from shell access is that gitolite has very limited on-server scripting - so for those of you using git hooks on kernel.org, you'll need to investigate how scripting works in gitolite before this will be functional. We are planning to get the first trees up and running early next week with broader access happening in early October. We will be bringing up additional developer services later, as resources permit and we can do so securely. We understand that the kernel.org outage has inconvenienced each of you as well as the larger Linux community. And, adjusting to the new tools will take some additional time and hassle. We apologize for that. But I want to assure you that getting the kernel.org development machines back up is the highest priority of kernel.org.
