SourceForge Down
« on: August 31, 2004, 12:53:49 am »
\"( 2004-08-30 11:41:49 - SourceForge.net Web Site )   At 15:00 Pacific on 2004-08-30 there will be a read-only downtime of the website to last an expected 6 hours followed by a full downtime of the SourceForge.net website to last an expected 1 hour. This downtime is to permit database maintenance. \"

Awful nice of them to give us some warning :) I don\'t mind extended downtime if they give us at least a day or two of warning so I can plan other work.  I also don\'t mind downtime for \"reasons beyond our control\" because **** happens :)

But this was obviously a planned outage (database maintenance is not a **** happens scenario) which they sprang with no warning whatsoever.  That does irritate me.  So much for me getting any work done on my project today (not to mention the 86,663 other projects, including PS, that are reliant on SF).

What do y\'all think (especially the devs)?  Am I being unreasonable.  Do you think it\'s okay for the SF admins to pull this sort of thing?

Sorry, I\'m just a bit irritated right now, and needed to vent.  I WAS going to do some coding work, hehe.

You get what you pay for I guess.  It doesn\'t mention anything about the CVS servers just the website so perhaps is a non issue? ( Unless of course you are doing website work ).

Well, it\'s true that use of the site is free, but I don\'t think that\'s a good reason to not give us some kind of warning.

CVS writes are down, despite what the blurb says about it only being a web site issue.  At least, I think so.  I get this from the big red notice \"SourceForge.net is currently in read-only mode. Logins, editing of project information, and forum posting are currently disabled. Project browsing and file downloads should continue to function normally. Any attempt to add or modify information will not update the SourceForge.net database and may result in an error. \" message at the top of each page :)

So I wouldn\'t try to commit anything tonight.
Unless you read that differently than I do :)

All those operations mentioned have to do with their database (of things like forum posts etc.) so I doubt it would affect CVS.
