sourceware.org suffered hardware failure and had to be restored
from backups. We do not believe any data was lost in the CVS
repository. We did lose any pending messages in the mail queue
as that does not get backed up. At this time, everything should
be functional except for htdig. The mailing list archives on the
web site are also out of date and will be updated soon. New mail
will update the archives correctly, however. If you find any other
problems, please email
overseers@sourceware.org

We've moved! This system is now running on new hardware, with a new

FAQ-O-Matic author, and now it is on
the web for all the world to see. See! We can still show off
our "photo album" even if we are a public company with a stock price

mentioned the subject of the stock price :-)).

How does Red Hat's acquisition of Cygnus affect this site?
For now, very little. We thought about "conducting a
process of re-engineering and re-branding with the aim of
integrating our free software community outreach programs into our
corporate objectives". But then we said "naah, let's just continue
to have a great site to develop free software and work on making it
even better".
In particular, we plan to be careful about changing the host
name sourceware.cygnus.com or anything else which may require you
to update your habits, CVS/Root files, etc. The name will have to
change but before we go changing things around we'd kind of like to
at least have a plausible guess about what we are going to change
them to :-). We don't want you to have to switch over twice.
