I'm here and operations are restored. I am generating updates at this very moment. Expect them to go out in the next few hours. (Now for the thousands of e-mail messages) At 7:53 AM -0500 5/30/97, Sascha Blank wrote: >>>>>> "Søren" == Søren Schmidt writes: > > Søren> But your problems wont end there :( > > Søren> It seems the CTM generation has halted, >First of all to stand up for Richard: About a week ago ... let his >machines run without his personal administration. First let me thank Sascha for stepping up in my absence. It is always nice to know that we can make this a collective effort. I had to leave hurriedly and had time to get off only a brief message or two. I chose to send the message privately to Sascha rather than disturb everyone unnecessarily. Had I returned 48 hours sooner, I doubt that anyone would have particularly missed me. > Søren> I think we should try find CTM a new home, it has been much > Søren> to unreliable lately.

The distribution problem is my greatest headache at the moment. As Sascha noted, we bypass freebsd.org to assure that someone outside my site gets them so the rest of you can find them. Recently, ftp.freebsd.org has now started rejecting the updates with a mailer error there, however, that is another problem. As for the generation of the updates, I previously suggested that reliance on a single machine is a weak point and that I would welcome letting someone else participate. So far, there have been no volunteers. I have even thought out a scheme that would allow us to have a redundant generation scheme. If someone has the diskspace and the willingness, I will gladly work out details with them so that it will require a double failure before you see more than a minor blip in the generation.
