I'll do it, thanks. Especially since this particular patch was missing one piece, which I tried to check in a little later, but couldn't. /Roman -- http://kennke.org/blog/
Re: savannah/CVS
Hi, As you probably noticed from watching the cvs and patches mailinglist savannah is back up again (see the attached email from the savannah admins). We lost only 2 patches. One configure patch I did just before the disk crash, which I have already put back. And the "InputStreamReader and OutputStreamWriter revisited" patch from Roman, which I haven't put back yet (Roman, let me know if you want me to put it in or whether you do it). Cheers, Mark --- Begin Message --- Hi, Savannah is up and running again after about 2 days 1/2 downtime. The system was completely restored using the backup from Sunday night, and a partial backup from Monday night (Boston time). We still have concerns about the RAID hardware (3 old + 1 new SCSI disks failed); we're going to order more parts and replace them asap. We'll post more info on the Savannah homepage in a bit. Thanks to everybody among the FSF Sysadmins and the Savannah Hackers who stayed up late working on the recovery! -- Sylvain On Thu, Mar 15, 2007 at 12:00:05AM +0100, Sylvain Beucler wrote: > Hi, > > The server for savannah.gnu.org has experienced a multiple disk > failure, bypassing the RAID5 safety.

Latest status is as follows: The server for savannah.gnu.org has experienced a multiple disk failure. New disks were received. SV is being brought to the offsite backup location (eta. 14 March 9PM GMT), where it will be sync'd (eta. ???) and brought back to the colocation at quincy, ma (est. 1/2h?). We're sorry for the inconvenience. | Last confirmed full backup was completed circa 20:30 EDT on Sunday 11 March. So much for relying on a raid5 setup for making sure you can survive a disk-failure... Cheers, Mark

Hardware knows when we want to prep for a release... The server for savannah.gnu.org has experienced a complex hardware failure. Replacement parts are being shipped next-day air and should be installed the afternoon (EDT) of 14 March. We're sorry for the inconvenience -- the GNU sysadmins. So savannah.gnu.org and cvs are out till tomorrow at least.
