raff, db, bugs downtime etc.

know - hopefully there'll be somewhere more appropriate at some
point that's actually read by more people than the closest thing
(-project). ]
Hi,
(1) raff was shutdown last Friday evening by mistake (due to a
miscommunication between me and the local admin) - unfortunately
due to a hardware fault, raff is not coming back.
As it happened this coincided horribly well with some downtime I
was having due to a disk failure on my home machine, so I didn't
get the mail from the local admin about it until Monday.
Anyway, raff is: archive.debian.org, half of ftp.debian.org, part
of {http,ftp}.us.debian.org and DNS master. These services are
being migrated as fast as possible to other hosts... which brings
us to point #2.
(2) I had to bring newsamosa (db.debian.org) down for an hour or so
earlier in order to repartition it to make room for some of the
new services. [It wasn't done before it went live because the
migration of db.d.o to newsamosa was done ahead of schedule as
part of the recovery process.] Sorry for the lack of notice.
(3) FYI (and entirely unrelated): spohr (bugs.debian.org) is going
down for a couple of hours at ~8AM GMT today (2004-03-24) as part
of some hardware maintenance the OSUOSL folks are doing.

Traditionally, this means we should be making the final release of sarge
about tomorrow [see past disasters on the eve of major releases]. Did
anybody just give the release order without me realising ?? 
Thanks for the heads up - good luck with all the heartache and extra
work.

Is this a joke?
There are still several months until the release of Debian 3.1, in fac,
there is currently not even a published release schedule for sarge.

Much thanks for all the info. :-)

Too early in the morning for me to understand such jokes...

I for one would not squawk if d-d-a were used for announcements of
project machine outages (planned or otherwise). I think it's perfectly
apropos.

-project is ~550 people, -devel is ~1800, but I don't quite see the
correlation between those numbers and machine downtime explanations.
In all likelihood, a lot of the people subscribed to -devel won't notice
the post among the rest. Most people who did notice it are probably
the kind of diligent readers that would have noticed how -project exists
ages ago (and subscribed to it, or chose not to subscribe).
There's no better way to shift traffic to the topical place but to actually
do it. Frankly I don't see how anyone could have had a half-meaningful
complaint had this been posted to -project rather than -devel, because
the former has existed for four years now and that should be plenty of time
for everyone to get with the program...
