Hey all,

I'm finally confident with the new master rsync server and so I'd like to
finally point things to it on Wednesday night. It'll be running on a spiffy
Opteron 246 :) (thank Nvidia for the box!) We'll start working on it sometime
after 9pm CST (0300 UTC). During this time the portage tree will *not* be
updating for a few hours. We need to ensure that all the mtimes and such are
identical on the new server so we don't cause a huge spike on the rsync servers.
So please don't commit something shortly before this and have something major
break ;).

If things do appear to be breaking, please don't create ten billion bugs about
it. We'll create a tracker bug to ensure any issues get resolved quickly. I'll
post to the list when we finish with the migration and have things moving again.

Just to clarify, this will only affect portage rsync mirrors.

Wish us luck!

Cheers,
