[GRASS-dev] GRASS master server in emergency migration - use the mirrors please

Hi all,

since the blade system which hosts http://grass.osgeo.org has been
compromised I started to anticipate the migration to the new
OSGeo hardware. We don't know if and when the blade system comes back
and the new OSGeo project server is new and powerful.

The master site is currently down, please use
http://grass.itc.it/
and other mirrors. The wiki is mirrored statically (read-only) at
http://josef.fsv.cvut.cz/WIKI/grass-osgeo/index.php/Main_Page

For this migration, I started to stream the backup to the new server.
Since the size is 13GB, it will take a while. Then stuff will be set up
again including the Wiki and things will turn to normal as soon as possible.

More soon,
Markus

Update:

I have moved the content of the master server to the new hardware, the
DNS update is propagating and you should see the pages again.
The wiki will hopefully be migrated today as well.

Then we'll do the needed tuning and fix odds and ends including the
rsync mirror support and so forth.

Hi,

wiki migration is almost done. GRASS wiki is available again [1]. Last
modification is from July 13 [2]. There are two issues:

* Mediawiki has been upgraded to 1.16 (1.16.0beta3)
* Default skin changed from 'monobook' to 'vector' - please let me
know if you prefer 'monobook' over 'vector' skin...

Remaining issue: uploading pictures and math support [3].

please bear in mind that mirrored GRASS wiki on josef is read-only -
or better to say every modification will be discarded on daily basis.
Please use
