[Haskell-cafe] What's wrong with code.haskell.org ?

[Andy Stewart]

Hi all,

I can't use `darcs get --partial http://code.haskell.org/gtk2hs/` to get
source code, and can't push patch.

What's wrong with code.haskell.org?
Rest for weekend? :)

code.h.o and community.h.o have rather flaky hosting, and have been
going down often recently. The only solution seems to be waiting until
the admins notice.

They have hardware problems - dying HDs and such.

IIRC there were plans to replace the problematic hardware, but I don't
know how far that has gotten. Maybe we should have a fundraiser for
the purpose?

Yes, we know that code/community.h.o can be somewhat flaky. However,
it does claim to have been up continuously for the last 79 days. I
suspect it is that (a) the service daemons occasionally die for no
obvious reason, or (b) some users are running processes that sometimes
hog the CPU, memory, or network bandwidth.

No, that is a different machine: hackage/darcs.h.o. A new server is
on order, but we do not yet have a delivery date.
