Re: [eclipse-dev] Outage Notice - Saturday, March 26th 2005

["Eclipse WebMaster (Denis Roy)" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You must have misread; only incoming mail will be affected. Outgoing 
notifications will be uninterrupted.

For what it's worth, CVS and e-mail will be migrated over quite fast. 
The new servers are already configured to accept the data; I just need 
to shutdown CVS for the time it takes to move 18+ GB of CVS files from 
one machine to another. It's the weird stuff, like ViewCVS, the mailing 
lists and the mailing list archives that prompted me to advertise an 
outage window of 24 hrs.

The IBM server that dev.eclipse.org is running on must be returned to 
IBM by April 1st, so it's either I move this Saturday or during the week 
next week.
