Scheduled NetBSD service outage, June 4 2013

Services provided by the NetBSD cluster at Columbia University,
primarily the autobuilds of NetBSD and pkgsrc (served from nyftp.netbsd.org),
will be unavailable for several hours on June 4, 2013 as electrical
equipment serving the facility is replaced.  This outage is anticipated
to begin early in the morning New York time and end late the same night.

www/gnats/mail-index.NetBSD.org broken / being replaced

Dear all,

please be advised that the machine hosting www.NetBSD.org,
gnats.NetBSD.org and mail-index.NetBSD.org has a mainboard fault.

www.NetBSD.org is currently being served by a mirror, gnats has been
moved to a different server, and mail-index will also be moved.

Since this is no planned action, it will take up to a day until
nameserver caches clear and you see the current incumbents.
Also, services may show some missing features until we get around to
fixing everything.

best regards,
	spz
