DragonFlyBSD

:New submission from Christian Berendt <berendt@b1-systems.de>:
:
:rsync, http and ftp are not working on the mirror-master at the moment. I also
:can't reach the system via icmp. ftp.dragonflybsd.org seems to be offline, too.
:I think you now about this problem, but I didn't find an open issue in your
:bugsystem.
:
:Setting priority to critical.

:HTH, Christian.

Sorry, I totally meant to post about this.  Avalon (which is the
    mirror-master) is being moved.  It was a short-notice thing.  We
    may be using this opportunity to upgrade it as well.  For now it
    is offline.  I don't have a timeframe for it coming back yet.

Hi,

What's the news on this?

Avalon is currently in-transit back to the colo after being seriously
    upgraded with new drives and a SSD.  It will probably be Monday before
    it is up again.

I know this is a bit of an inconvenience.  The package sets are
    available on the mirrors.  Package and snapshot building will resume
    next week.  Upgrading Avalon now (mid-way between releases) is a pretty
    good time to do it despite the annoyance.

Something different needs to be done in the future in terms of the hostnames
we ship in the makefiles, or the mirror organization, or a procedure for dns
changes, or documentation of the mirrors, or something. We do not overtly
document the procedures to switch mirrors for src/pkgsrc and besides, it
should not have been necessary in this case. All of our users who do not
know git have been unable to upgrade anything for the last week.

avalon is back up.
