DSA Team (Debian System Administrators)

Infrastructure

Interacting with the team

Usual roles

Note that the descriptions below are neither limitative nor exhaustive. I've put elements that I've learnt and discovered over time. But they all have full privileges and can do any DSA task. --RaphaelHertzog

Task description

The DSA members handles the basic infrastructure of the project. They maintain the central LDAP database listing all the Debian developers. They setup and administrate almost all Debian-owned machines, and make sure to keep them secure. They grant required rights to other DD who need them to maintain a particular service. And of course, they handle the standard services like the debian.org email alias that each developer has and so on.

Some documentation

DSA specific software

DSA has a package repository with customized/specific software. The corresponding APT sources.list entries are:

deb http://db.debian.org/ debian-admin/
deb-src http://db.debian.org/ debian-admin/

Most of those software are currently maintained in a [http://cvs.debian.org/?cvsroot=debian-admin CVS repository]. You can grab auto updated tarballs [http://people.debian.org/~hertzog/cvs-debian-admin/ here].

Ideas of things to document

The DSA team doesn't have much documentation. It would be interesting to use this space to provide some more information. Here are some ideas of what could be interesting:
