On 2006-03-30 the developer CVS server
had a substantial system failure. Due to the implementation of
the CVS service, there is a single point of failure with
multiple points of recovery (there is more than one data source
we could potentially recover from if there is any data loss as
a result of the failure). This outage currently affects
developer CVS access directly, but we have disabled tarball
updates and data syncs from the developer CVS server to the
anonymous pserver/ViewCVS hosts as an additional level of
precaution. Our main focus since the outage was detected has
been to safegaurd all data on the developer CVS server as well
as possible. We are currently attempting to backup the data on
the host, which is taking longer than we initially anticipated
it would, but is a necessary step to fully safegaurd the host's
data. Next, we are going to perform some data validation to
ensure the data set appears valid. Pending successful
completion of those steps, we'll reenable developer CVS access.
A few days after, we'll reenable CVS tarballs and syncs to
anonymous CVS. In the mean time, we're currently advancing
plans for a CVS architecture change based upon the knowledge we
gained during Subversion deployment to eliminate the single
point of failure that developer CVS currently has, add
horizontal scalability and overall service resiliance. However,
we still do not have an estimate on when developer CVS services
will be restored, but we have been, and currently are actively
working to restore access to CVS. We appreciate your patience
with us while we work to properly resolve this major outage.

On 2006-03-30 the developer CVS server
had a hardware issue that required us to take the service
offline. We are actively working on this problem and hope to
have it back up soon. There is not a current estimate for the
duration of this outage, but when we get one, it will be posted
on the site status page (this page). We currently expect this
outage to last 48 hours, at minimum.
Pravdu mají ti, kteří trvdí, že takové hromadění free software na jednom serveru není dobrá věc.
