Re: [eclipse-dev] Outage Notice - Saturday, March 26th 2005

[Randy Hudson <hudsonr@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If this were to be delayed, please consider
the downstream components too, which are declaring M6 slighty behind the
platform itself.  We were affected by the last-minute FTP access changes
which happened last milestone and broke our build process, delaying our
M5 declaration.

The best time to do maintenance is probably
2 weeks after a platform milestone has been declared.

You must have misread; only incoming mail will be
affected. Outgoing 
notifications will be uninterrupted.

For what it's worth, CVS and e-mail will be migrated over quite fast. 
The new servers are already configured to accept the data; I just need
to shutdown CVS for the time it takes to move 18+ GB of CVS files from
one machine to another. It's the weird stuff, like ViewCVS, the mailing
lists and the mailing list archives that prompted me to advertise an 
outage window of 24 hrs.

The IBM server that dev.eclipse.org is running on must be returned to 
IBM by April 1st, so it's either I move this Saturday or during the week
next week.
