From Sep 12 to Sep 13 we will have a power outage in the Nuernberg office.
Downtime is planned from 2009-09-11 20:00 CEST (18:00 UTC) until 2009-09-14 10:00 CEST (08:00 UTC). So it might become a long weekend especially for developers – but we plan to avoid restrictions for endusers during this downtime.
So far, the following services are affected by this downtime:
- Build Service
- Mailing lists
- …and more
Please have a look at the “downtime” wiki page to see the full list of affected hosts.
Not affected:
- news.opensuse.org
- <lang>.opensuse.org (all opensuse wikis)
- forums.opensuse.org
- irc.freenode.net/opensuse* channels
- bugzilla.novell.com
- download.opensuse.org (replacement host in place)
- static.opensuse.org (replacement host in place)
- software.opensuse.org (search will not work as the buildservice is down)
We plan no replacement for the other services as the downtime is not too large.
We will try to reduce/disable building on build.opensuse.org on Thursday, so all mirrors should have “up-to date” packages over the weekend.
With kind regards,
Lars (on behalf of the openSUSE-Admins)

I wonder why this is shown as a post by Ben Kevan on planetsuse.org
Something’s going wrong there…
never mind… just found out that he has aggregated news.opensuse.org on his blog.
It was a long weekend indeed… I’m updating for … 6 hours now.. and still can’t add community repositories to restore my packages after a reinstall in friday, due to complete partition mess up by a goood oold win xp sp3 from aug 09. Guess the guyz at MS want linux lovers to suffer…
Something might still be wrong, as several systems I use cannot download the list of Community Resources.
The download infrastructure has not been completely restored yet.
