Hello folks, On Thursday 24 November at 6 AM UTC, I will start a 4-hour maintenance window for the following Haskell services: 1. downloads.haskell.org 2. gitlab.haskell.org In particular, I expect the following outages: 1. downloads.haskell.org will be read-only for the duration of the window. * No uploads 2. gitlab.haskell.org will be read-only for the duration of the window. * No CI pipelines(!) * No git pushes * No commenting on issues or merge requests 3. gitlab.haskell.org will furthermore be entirely inaccessible very briefly. * There will be 1-2 outages. * Each outage will last a few seconds. The reason for the maintenance is that our hosting sponsor, Equinix Metal, is performing a facilities migration. One of our servers, gitlab-storage, is slated for retirement. All data and services that run on that server must be moved to a new server. I'm sending this first notification to a wide audience as an extra precaution in case something goes wrong. :) In reality, I expect this maintenance to only affect GHC developers and a small group of ecosystem maintainers. In particular, web access of https://downloads.haskell.org should *not* be affected by this maintenance. I will send further updates to a smaller audience. Note: The actual migration will be quick. Most of the maintenance window will be spent waiting for DNS propagation. -Bryan Haskell Foundation DevOps
