Status of whimsy roster tool?

[Craig Russell <cr...@oracle.com>]

I’m trying to use the roster tool to update the commit access for folks who have no icla on file.

So I go to the page of the project for example https://whimsy.apache.org/roster/committee/maven and double click on the person’s name, which brings up a little dialog. When I click on (Remove as Committer) the button changes color but then, …

Nothing else happens.

Is this feature supposed to work?

What that is supposed to do is update LDAP (removing that person from
the specific committee), and send an email to the committee (bcc'ing
root@) that the change was made.

Given your symptoms; there are two possibilities: a bug or a network problem.

If it is a bug, there may be something useful in the javascript
console; either that or you can use the developer tools from your
browser to capture the network output.  If the data contains
confidential information, post it on private@?

The other possibility is a network problem, which seems all too common
at the colo where whimsy2 is at.  I've got a new VM (whimsy3) in a new
colo that I will be setting up; but there was some heated discussion
concerning SSL certs that I'm letting die down before I pick up that
work again.
