Hi all! Firstly, a quick observation: the debs seem to be popular. Really popular. In fact, they're about this popular: -- Service Temporarily Unavailable The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later. Apache/1.3.26 Server at penguinppc.org Port 80 -- The penguinppc.org link was saturated this morning (my time) by a sustained 6 megabyte/sec traffic load, apparently almost entirely from my site. Combined with the fact that we're very close to producing an XSF 4.3.0-0pre1v1 release, I've decided to nuke my penguinppc archives soon. If you already have XFree86 4.3.0, please remove my deb/deb-src lines from your sources.list. If you are installing 4.3.0 for the first time because you need the drivers/whatever - feel free. If you are upgrading for the hell of it, *please* consider holding off until an XSF release. There's a 450k/sec throttle in place right now, so we don't take the colo's link down again. Right now, the throttle is playing havoc with anyone trying to use penguinppc. If you *must*, please move to an alternate mirror[0], but these mirrors may disappear quicker than penguinppc - I can't guarantee they'll stick around. I couldn't go this far, however, without thanking mirror admins past and present: * Ethan "sourdough" Benson for penguinppc.org/~daniels, the primary mirror, which has shifted an absolutely stupid amount of data. * Joe "HoserHead" Drew for capricorn.woot.net/~daniels, the original mirror site (whose link was saturated early on in the piece). * Thom May for xf86-debs.mirror.positive-internet.com, which was the primary site between woot.net and penguinppc.org. * Scott "dieman" Dier, for ftp.cs.umn.edu, which has been mirroring for quite some time now. * Dagfinn Ilmari for ftp.skolelinux.no, the current primary European mirror. * Mark Borst for borst.student.utwente.nl, and jumping through the requisite hoops to get it online. Again, please check the XSF at http://people.debian.org/~branden/xsf/xsf.html for further updates in around a week or so - DebianPlanet (www.debianplanet.org) and the lists will also get an announcement. Cheers! :) d [0]: US: deb http://capricorn.woot.net/~daniels/sid/$(ARCH) ./ deb ftp://ftp.cs.umn.edu/pub/debian-misc/daniels/current/sid/$(ARCH) ./ Norway: deb ftp://ftp.skolelinux.no/debian-unofficial/x4.3/sid/$(ARCH) ./ Netherlands: deb http://borst.student.utwente.nl/~daniels/sid/$(ARCH) ./ -- Daniel Stone <dstone@trinity.unimelb.edu.au> Developer, Trinity College, University of Melbourne
