In theory, no action is required by downstream mirrors. However, some caveats: 1) It will have *new* IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. You shouldn't have anything hard coded, but if you have.. this will become apparent soon. 2) If you connect via ipv6, beware that ipv6 reverse dns mapping is not currently active. You'll see a raw ipv6 hex address on your traffic instead of a normal name. 3) The old machine is suffering pretty badly, I've briefly turned off rsyncd on it to help with a data copy. It should be back on within 1-3 hours. 4) While there's no immediate plans to increase the size of the archive, be aware the new machine has *significantly* more storage space. However, free space tends to get used... ... ... For the actual transition, I'll shut down the rsync services again for some final checks to make sure timestamps are correctly preserved and throw the switch in DNS. The switch-over could happen as soon as today or tomorrow, depending on how long the verification takes. I apologize for the short notice, but I am *very* concerned about the operational status of the old machine and in theory it should be completely transparent for mirrors. -- Peter Wemm - peter@wemm.org; peter@FreeBSD.org; peter@yahoo-inc.com; KI6FJV "All of this is for nothing if we don't go to the stars" - JMS/B5 "If Java had true garbage collection, most programs would delete themselves upon execution." -- Robert Sewell
