[Mageia-dev] Servers downtime scheduled from Feb. 1 to 2 for maintenance

Mon Jan 30 23:19:02 CET 2012

Hello everyone,
+
+some Mageia servers will be down from Wednesday Feb. 1st to Thursday
+Feb. 2nd for maintenance. Particularly, the following services will be
+unavailable:
+- our LDAP/user identity db,
+- build system,
+- Bugzilla,
+- all mailing-lists hosted on ml.mageia.org,
+- Wiki,
+- forums.
+
+So... not all, but, a lot of what you use here! The exact hours of
+interruption are not known, so expect no availability for those 2 full
+days.
+
+Blog (where an equivalent warning will be posted), Web site,
+mailing-lists (and archives) will not be down.
+
+In the meantime, in our Marseille data center, 4 of our sysadmin team
+(dams, boklm, rtp and misc in this case) will do nothing less than:
+ - upgrade servers to Mageia 1,
+ - replace broken HDD,
+ - add SSD in build nodes,
+ - install our ARM build system,
+ - install a dedicated server for backups,
+ - install a dedicated server for QA and packagers.
+
+All hardware purchased thanks to what Mageia.Org received from so many
+donators (http://mageia.org/en/thank-you/ again).
+
+This is quite a short notice, we apologize for this. Thank you for
+your comprehension (and please spread the info to your list/team if
+relevant).
