<p>In spring 2018 Sam, Wookey and Paul Fox updated the Linux version and the Django version (i.e. troggle) to
something vaguely acceptable to the university computing service and fixed all the problems that were then observed.
<p>In early 2019 the university computing serviuce upgraded its firewall rules which took the
server offline completely. Wookey eventually managed to find us free space (a virtual machine)
on a debian mirror server somewhere in Leicestershire (we think).
This move to a different secure server means that all ssh to the server now needs to use cryptographic keys tied to individual machines. There is an expo-nerds email list (all mailing lists are now hosted on wookware.org as the university list system restricted what non-Raven-users could do) to coordinate server fettling.
<p>At the beginning of the 2019 expo two repos had been moved from mercurial to git: troggle and drawings (formerly called tunneldata). The other two repos expoweb and loser remained on mercurial.
