The temporary page [0], (already announced on this list), does have a
message along those lines but there is little point updating the DNS
when the repositories themselves are not available. (Plus the temporary
location isn't really suited to having all of the emdebian.org traffic.)

The website is largely crippled if it cannot link to the repositories,
the SVN/Trac and other large content.

It isn't just bandwidth, it's storage space - allied to the fact that
the toolchains have to be rebuilt before they can be uploaded anywhere.

Phil's server is providing a mirror for Emdebian Grip already [1] but we
can't extend that to provide a mirror for the toolchains because those
haven't finished building yet.
