There seems to be some agreement that the respositories are down now for the server move.

I don't know if it's true (I can't connect so I'm guessing yes).

Would it be possible to use the board-wide announcement feature for something this major? I've already seen several threads asking why people can't connect. (And one where someone who hasn't been able to cnnect for the last 3 weeks has had to stop trying to sort that out till the repos are back).

If it's not true, could someone comment on why the repositories aren't connecting please?

(And hold this idea on announcing the move for when it actually happens)

The app manager can't update on extras? Closing that 'helps'.

Yep. I can update the two nokia repositories. Extras just hangs.

And conversations like this: (from post #127 onwards) suggest it's everyone. http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=39003&page=13

It was expected some time soon because of the server move.

Hrm. As a test, I just used the Application Manager to successfully install Battle Gweled. So, the servers aren't looking down from my IP, at least. It could be that the content distribution network is borked for most of the world though. I don't know.

I could sticky threads, at least. I don't know if I have any abilities beyond that.

If someone involved with the move lets me (or perhaps even better, Reggie) know when an announcement of downtime should be made, I'd appreciate it. It'd be good to spread the word beyond IRC/Quiku.

Thanks! I've never had any problem with any of the repsoitories till this evening when I tried to test in response to the thread in the fremantle forum. Now it hangs.

RevdKathy you mentioned just Extras hangs.. is Battle Gweled in Extras, extras-devel, extras-testing.. the nokia ones?

Sorry.. was just thinking out loud. Or are all extras/testing/devel down?

Sorry, I should have specified that. I installed Battle Gweled from Extras-testing.

Battle Gweled is in Extras (I already have that one - dreadful time waster!)

A quick skim of my catalogue shows that I don't have access to any of the catalogues, since I disabled the extras to test whether I could update without it. So now I can't test whether I can d/l either.

Edit: It is now at least trying to update extras. Got about half way and froze.

So at this point we have several reports that "extras" is down.. but "extras-testing" is up. Is extras-testing the same server as extras? (does anybody know?)

Sjgadsby - are you successfully able to refresh just the "extras" repository?

Just trying to help.. people can tell me to shut up if I get annoying.
