Buildfarm server move

People,

Apologies for the late notice.

Tomorrow, January 18th, at 4.00 pm US East Coast time (UT - 5.0) we will
be moving the buildfarm server from its current home at CommandPrompt,
where we have been ever since we started, to a machine that is part of
the standard core infrastructure. In doing so we will be moving to a) a
more modern and supported PostgreSQL version, and b) a machine with more
disk space so that our current severe pace shortage will be alleviated.
In addition, the community would be much better placed to maintain the
buildfarm if either JD or I were to fall under a bus.

The outage is expected to last about 4 hours or less, and we will sent
out notifications when this is complete.

Buildfarm owners who want to avoid getting reporting failures should
disable their animals during that time. We don't have an avalanche of
commits right now either, but it might also be nice if committers were
to refrain from adding changes in the hours leading up to this and until
we announce that we're back online, for the benefit of those owners who
don't see this message in time.

Thanks in advance for your help and understanding.

And many thanks to CommandPrompt for their constant support over the
many years we've been in operation.

cheers

andrew

Um, this message is postmarked 18 Jan 17:20, an hour later than the
stated move time. Did you mean the move will be Tue 19 Jan?
