Rolling Restart : server version 1.25.3 / 1.25.4

This thread is for discussion of the rolling restart to deploy 1.25.3 this week and next week. The blog post describing the rolling restart is at: http://status.secondlifegrid.net/2009/01/13/post437/.

UPDATE : there is also a blog post on the 1.25.4 rolling restart at : http://status.secondlifegrid.net/2009/01/20/post454/

"We will be deploying server version 1.25.3 to Second Life in a rolling restart on Tuesday/Wednesday July 20-21."

July? My guess is you're going to want to fix this.

Yikes. If it's July and we're still going to deploy 1.25, I am going to weep as nobody has ever wept before.

Didn't 1.24 first show up around last July??

Been a long time comin'.. Hope it goes smoothly, Prospero!

Lol - I think you won't be the only one

Good luck with the roll out

I knew LL was slow to respond to somethings, but haveing the next update postponed THAT far? A little bit much IMO.

Good luck with the rollout Prospero! We're all waiting to see all the new fixes and improvements!

I'd say you're guaranteed to make at least two errors per post as long as that's your sig.

(Two Ls in "usually" + "grammar"

my avatar is online but i cant access on my avatar please you can reset the land?please is urgent thanks my avatar is pendic Aluveaux PLEASE HELP ME

Just how often do you guys have new releases anyway?? And how could the last time I visited here be 01-01-1970 at 12:00 AM?!?!

First parsed as "good luck with the rofl-out". Oh yeh.

In an ideal world, we'd do a rolling restart with a server deploy once a month. In reality, it's both more often and less often than that. Less often, in that, especially in the last year or two, it's taken us a lot longer to go from one major release to the next. More often in that once we put out a major release (as was the case with 1.24), we sometimes have to do a few point releases after that.

Note that between mid-October and mid-December, there were no full-grid rolling restarts. We did do a pilot roll of 1.25 a few times, but they didn't work out so we didn't put it on the whole grid. The last full-grid rolling restart was in late December for 1.24.10.

I hope this new version works better than the previous one.
In the mean time, i'm still waiting to get in. I keep on getting this message that i have to wait because there are too many people on the grid.
Ok, in a case like this, why not start by denying access to the freebies, so that paying customers can log in?
Not that i have anything against these freebies, but they take away my right as a paying customer to get on the grid......

first off... free accounts are NOT just camping.. MOST of use actually HAVE and DO buy lindens, WE don't go premium because there is no need to have linden land or even worth bothering about the weekly stipend which doesn't even amount up to what your paying... JUST because you pay to OWN linden land yes that's right you pay for the privilege to own linden land. also what you are wanting hasn't anything to do with coding update, that is down to the servers them selves

The central deploy is complete, except for the nightly maintenance hosts ("nightly" continues on through the middle of the day, and I don't want to disturb them until they're done; I'll do them this evening), and some internal logging hosts (I need to get with the logging people). All the on-grid centrals have been updated.

Pilot rolling restart tomorrow morning.

Backspace is a life saver

Prospero,

Thank you for deleting my post without even answering.
Very polite of you.

I guess good manners are not required in SL......

Prospero where an I find the release notes for 1.25?

The pilot roll has begun

Fx: dramatic chord.

The pilot roll is done

Quick, Quick, fire off the smoke, move the mirrors

Good luck Prospero, I'm rooting for you on this one. Well, rooting for you, and freezing to death, with the weather as it is.

I missed getting my post in during a relevant timeframe by *1* minute *sigh* Good job on the quick roll

Done??? But you just started!!
