Hi Xyne,

Hi Xyne, so you know that for a while I've been trying to get a new server up on EC2. It's just about done, so if you guys don't mind being test subjects I'd like to set you up there. Note that the new server is built on ephemeral storage and thus in the case of a hardware failure all data will be lost. On the other hand it is backed up every thirty minutes. If you need greater granularity than that please keep critical data in an off-location version controlled store. Disk space and bandwidth are not a problem at the moment, and I'll let you know if they will be.
I believe that ACL's are supported. That is the preferred way of sharing things right now. Let me know if you need anything beyond that.
And if you guys are hosting a repo, I can set up a VirtualHost for you.
Kaiting.
I replied to say that it sounds good and that I don't think we'll need finer granularity. I also said that I wanted to discuss the name of the VirtualHost with the team before setting it up.
So, what do you think?
this is really good news. IMHO, the name of the VHOST is a secondary issue. We don't need to decide that until our binary repository is in shape for public usage. Personally, I'd like something along the lines of haskell.archlinux.org or archlinux.haskell.org, but I don't feel strongly about it. How would that server be accessed? What kind of information does Kaiting need to set-up an user account? Take care, Peter
