Hi, During Debian SunCamp [1], members of the ports and DSA teams met in Lloret de Mar to move the debian-ports archive onto a new VM. The old server leda.debian.net was a VM administrated by the debian-ports team and kindly hosted by DSA. Historically all the debian-ports services were hosted on a single machine. Over the last year services have been moved and integrated in the debian.org infrastructure. The only remaining part was the archive itself. During the sprint the archive was moved to a new DSA-administrated VM called porta.debian.org [2] providing the ports-master.debian.org service. Instead of serving the archive directly from this machine, we use the existing mirroring infrastructure to serve it from ftp.ports.debian.org. In addition a CDN [3] is also available, to avoid using more bandwidth to sync the mirrors than serving the users. With all these changes the debian-ports.org domain is now deprecated, web and email redirections have been setup to ease the transition. Finally the old machine has been decommissioned and shut down. Please note that a more technical report with the changes from the users point of view has already been posted on a few mailing lists [4]. We would like to thank Ana Beatriz Guerrero López and Martín Ferrari for organizing the SunCamp, and the Debian project for travel and accommodation sponsorship.
