Hi all. Here's an update on the current outage at http://hub.darcs.net . - All data is safe and service will be restored asap.
- This is the fourth day of the incident. Though this is a best-effort free service provided in my "spare" time, I do care about reliability. This is the longest outage we've had. I'm very sorry about it. - Unfortunately due to press of life events just now I'm not able to drop everything and work on it; I have windows of time. This is contributing to the delay. - This is an upgrade that went wrong. In short, I upgraded the VPS on which darcs hub runs, without realising that couchdb was not available for the newer OS. (See below). - Rolling back the VPS upgrade was not practical, as I run other things there as well. - I guessed wrongly that the new couchdb packages would appear within hours. It now looks like that could take a week, or more. (https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/1314) - In parallel I started building a new VPS, but last night it got compromised. So I must start over with this. - Hopefully, you all are working productively from your local repo copies. But if you are urgently blocked, there may be something helpful I could do; let me know. I'll update you when things change. Thanks for your patience.
