WineHQ will be offline tomorrow

[Jeremy Newman]

I will be taking the website offline tomorrow starting at 09:00 CDT
(04:00 GMT). I will be moving it to a new ISP. Expect downtime to last
for up to 8 hours as I will also be doing a complete reinstall of the
OS.

This will also affect the mailing lists and the CVS.

Luckly we've got a CVS mirror, for those who didn't know, you can use the european mirror following 
these instructions
http://66.102.9.104/search?q=cache:DK5XI0Uyp_MJ:www.winehq.com/site/cvs+&...
if you need CVS during the downtime.
And google will kindly mirror the web pages too :-)

Next time you'll have such a long downtime, contact us before and we'll 
be glad to fetch winhq's (static) pages and host them for a day.....

The trick would be, to reduce TTL of the DNS, so a switch can occur 
within minutes....and then point back to the original / or new IP's....

The move has been canceled. We still plan to have the box moved/upgraded
by the end of the month. As of right now the new ISP was not ready for
me yet. I jumped the gun a little.

Then maybe you could get the MediaHost guys to mirror us when you do switch
As we already have a cvs mirror and the downloads are on sf, only mailing lists would be affected

I don't think it is worth the time/effort to setup the temp mirror. I
could just as easily host a temp mirror on one of my other servers than
work with a 3rd party on it. I appreciate the offers though.

Than I suggest to do that! Being 8 or more hours offline isn't really 
professional...

Or if you upgrade the hardware, keep the old box running until the new 
server is ready.....anyway, there are lots of ways achieving a smoother 
transition....my offer still stands, should you need it...or any advice 
or help....just in case...
