[LLVMdev] Potential Downtime of LLVM Server on Jan. 6

[John Criswell]

Dear LLVMers,

What: Potential Downtime of LLVM Web/SVN Server

When: January 6, 2009 from 8:00 am Central time to 12:00 pm Central time 
(4 hours)

Why:
On January 6, 2009, some maintenance will be done on the heating/cooling 
system of Siebel Center (the building in which the LLVM web/SVN server 
is located).  The cooling system will be turned off, and it's possible 
that temperatures may rise in the server rooms.  If they rise too high, 
the CS IT staff will shut down systems to prevent them from being damaged.

Recommendations:
My current recommendation is to avoid using SVN during the 4 hours of 
maintenance.  With the number of machines maintained by our IT staff and 
the fact that people are on vacation, I cannot guarantee that we can 
provide advanced warning if/when the LLVM server is shut down.

The last time they did work on the cooling system, no servers were shut 
down.  However, you never know what will happen, so I recommend erring 
on the side of caution.
