Do you know you can test your apps WITHOUT the autobuilder, do you? Just asking.

As for the new hardware.
There has been a lot of work in both getting new hardware and setting it up. Just be patient a small while more. No promises before Christmas (everyone wants to eat Christmas lunch without watching the server stats on an N900 under the table), but services will start moving to new hardware soon.
The downside is that setting up causes further slowness on the old servers as they need to be copied and synced to the new ones. The decision was not to shut down for a week to do that, but try and keep things running all the time.
The people who do this work (set up and run maemo.org) are not Nokia employees, they are community members who get sponsored to do this work.

Is there any more info you can point to about this outage? If you know something about it, why not post it to the -devel mailing list or something reasonable?
As for the complains a bit more of patience and gratitude is welcome, we're in the same boat here, those kind of problems are not normal and should be fixed soon, our infrastructure and resources is too small for the community growth, patience please.

With a functioning system I would have uploaded far more packages by now. /me trying again...
However in the mean time the argument to say "the autobuilder is preventing more applications" is in my mind not accurate at all. Okay, so let's say worst case scenario your app takes 2 days to build in autobuilder... If that's your product release/app release, then 2 extra days for people to wait doesn't exactly mean "there are less apps available because of it". Sure things get backed up a bit, but you're still talking about final releases here.
