HEADS UP: Maintenance on 14-STABLE build server

[Shawn Webb]

Hey all,

We have some dying memory in the 14-STABLE build server. The
replacement memory came in today. The server is still building
packages and will likely finish in the next two to three days.

Once the package build is completed (and synced), I plan to take the
server offline and replace the memory. I plan to do a full hardware
diagnostics, which could take a while. The server will likely be down
for a few days.

I'll keep everyone informed when the maintenance starts and completes.

Thanks,

The package build completed and is synced. I'm taking down the
14-STABLE build server for maintenance.

This does mean that users who need to download 14-STABLE installation
media will need to rely on our mirrors:

The memory has been replaced. Both Dell Hardware Diganostics and
memtest86 are happy. The server is online again. I'll keep a close eye
on it over the next few days just to make sure things are good.
