HEADS UP: Changes to how we serve package repositories

[Shawn Webb]

Hey all,

We've run out of storage space on our main web server:

Our package repos average around 134GB in size, and it's growing with
every single package build.

So, I plan to serve packages out of my home. I plan to perform the
migraine in the first half of November. It will most likely be over a
weekend, and I'm currently unsure which exact weekend I want to spend
time on this.

I'll keep everyone informed.

Thanks,

I have decided to postpone this until all current package builds have
completed. The main outlier here is the 15-stable package builder,
which is slow as molasses being carried 500 miles by a dehydrated
slug.

I suspect the migration will happen either in December or January.

(Note: I did receive some private emails regarding this. Thank you for
them. I will respond with thoughtful replies soon.)
