Re: [GENERAL NOTICE] Service Downtime
 

I have no idea what you are all talking about.
My phone was working quite well before the 16th and if I was not able to swap a server in a reasonable time (because i.e. I don't get paid), I would not have touched it in the first place.
They just broke tens of thousands devices out there, it's been like this for two weeks already - and you guys see nothing wrong with this?? Because I can always buy another phone... oh, and yeah: I should learn some manners because your flood of positive reinforcements have obviously been doing a great job for the past two weeks - it's only me who is the problem :)

If nobody had touched the servers in the first place there would be neither repositories alive, nor tmo for you to rant on. Problem solved.

Re: [GENERAL NOTICE] Service Downtime
 

why? they were alive before and working pretty well...

Re: [GENERAL NOTICE] Service Downtime
 

because Nokia stopped paying for them 31/12/2012

If we wanted to keep them we had to touch them. Else everything would go black that date.

Re: [GENERAL NOTICE] Service Downtime
 

If they hadn't touched it in the first place there would be no difference as Nokia have ended their support for maemo. You're wingeing at the community, when the community are all you've got to help get back to how things were.

Maybe you should've made backups of your setup so you could restore your phone to a working condition, but in the absence of those follow the advice to search for the stand-in repos or wait until the community repos are up.

oh, OK - then sorry, I did not know that.

still: how many unpaid volunteers are needed to change a light bulb?
swapping a server is not a rocket science.
and most of all, there is a simple rule for swapping servers - do I need to state it?
it says: don't turn off a working server before making sure that the new one is working.
and that is why I see a big incompetence in here, in this specific process.

Piotr, why are you not offering your help already? The community will be extremely thankfull! :)

Re: [GENERAL NOTICE] Service Downtime
 

I guess I could help, but I don't think I am trustworthy enough.
Plus I don't have manners :)

Re: [GENERAL NOTICE] Service Downtime
 

edit: sorry for being offensive.

Re: [GENERAL NOTICE] Service Downtime
 

You aswered so quickly, that I had no time to correct my typos ;)
I'd help myself, but my competence is limited with swapping and installation of web and e-mail servers with spam- and virus control...
