Main mirror is down

(Posted: 2009-10-13)

As many of you have noticed the package repository and the main ISO mirror is currently down. Well not really down, but it seems RubyRingTech has decided to dropped sponsoring us without any notice. I've tried to get in touch with my contact there, (Andrew) but have gotten no reply, so I figure he's started working another place or something. All good things must come to and end as they say, so thanks for all the help RubyRing and a very special thanks to Andrew, who's been my contact there.

As luck would have it I've recently been contacted by a Wolvix user by the name of Hugo Cardozo, who's been setting his own mirror for Wolvix. So as of now I'll be directing the DNS repo.wolvix.org to his server (wolvix3.homelinux.net) until we find a new hosting solution, as I'm not sure how much load we'll put on Hugo's mirror. Thanks a bunch for setting up your mirror Hugo, very timely indeed. =)

In other news (or lack of news) you've also probably noticed the rather poor activity from my side lately. We're not dead, just in suspended animation... Well not really. It's just that I'm having difficulties finding the time to sit and work with Wolvix right now, but I hope to get back on track in not too long.

That's all for now. I'll keep you all posted on the mirror/hosting situation.
