Thanks Henning. I was prepared to fix the website, I just needed you
to change the dns records. But, you've done some of my work for me, so
I won't complain :)

Hi everybody,
as you may have noticed, the SANE webserver (www.sane-project.org) is has
been down since several days. The reason was a hard disc failure on the
server that hosts SANE (alioth.debian.org). More information:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2013/11/msg3.html
So today I copied all data on alioth.debian.org from /mnt/home/groups/sane
back to the groups directory. This includes htdocs so the website is running
again on http://sane.alioth.debian.org. Also other services like git may
work again.
However, I did not test anything else but basic web functionality. Please
check and correct any scripts that may not be working and crontabs.
The mailing list archive still does not seem to work (no recent articles
since Nov 24), I have no idea why not.
I also updated the DNS A record of www.sane-project.org to the new IP
address of alioth.debin.org. DNS propagation may take some time.
Some info bout DNS configuration for the records:
www.sane-project.org, www1.sane-project.org and sane-project.org all point
to the IP address of sane.alioth.debian.org (=alioth.debian.org). Originally
there were mirrors at www2 and www3 but www2 does not work and www3 id very
old. I try to update www3 in the next few days but no guarantees. New
mirrors would be nice.
This is a one-time effort i.e. I can not handle more work on alioth. So
admins with ssh access to alioth are needed to do such work in future. As
I'm the owner of the domain name sane-project.org I'll handle request to
change the DNS records but I can't do more due to time constraints.
Kind regards
Henning Geinitz
