Hi all, |
| 2 |
This weekend (04/26 - 04/28) I will be doing some major maintenace on |
| 3 |
the gentoo.org server. This is the server that hosts all web services |
| 4 |
(incl. www and bugs), CVS, rsync, DNS, and mail (incl. lists). |
| 5 |
Unfortunatly, I do not have a firm date and time for this maintenance. |
| 6 |
Once I do, I will reply to this announcement with an update. I wanted to |
| 7 |
make sure everyone knew about it. |

This window of downtime will be at least one hour, but probably closer |
| 10 |
to 2 hours. The work includes the following: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
o Relocating the server to a new datacenter |
| 13 |
o Changing the IP address of the server |
| 14 |
o Upgrading the motherboard and RAM (512M to 1G) |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
During this window, you will not be able to update your portage tree via |
| 17 |
rsync/CVS, update/add any bugs on bugzilla, send/receive list mail, or |
| 18 |
browse web pages. This will not affect our ibiblio store of tarballs, |
| 19 |
and therefore will not hinder emerging new packages. Our secondary DNS |
| 20 |
server will be up and updated with new DNS info so that when the new |
| 21 |
server comes up, it will be reachable via DNS. Also, forums.gentoo.org |
| 22 |
will be unaffected as it is not yet hosted on the main server. |

Thanks, |
