To some things, yes. To other things, not so much. While we have some access to some of the devices, it's far from full control.

Let's also not forget that a lot of this stuff used to live in a very different structure than it does now (before migration), and most of it was highly augmented to do what it does. It's not just apt-get-ing a repo package and starting services. There's lots of custom bits that are now half working. The hashsum issue is a clear example of that. There are scripts one can normally run to rebuild those indexes. But when done, something else is coming along and breaking things again. Tracking down what that is can be difficult, especially when one has limited access.

That's been true off and on for a while now, and is another source of headache entirely. The problem is that a lot of the custom tweeks are only fully understood by folks at Nemein, since they've been the ones running/admin-ing it for the past decade.

Doing a knowledge transfer on all of that would be tough enough to do in a couple weeks if we all had 8 hours a day to sit together in a room. Harder still when we're scattered across the globe, in different time zones, and all have day jobs to attend to as well.
