Well, first they set the servers in the datacenter(s) first, then aliases, @mageia.org, assigning ensues. (Personally I don't see a particular hurry about that especially as there's no SVN repos yet). Also bear in mind that the news about the new fork made a lot of users start using mailing lists for the first time (I see some users who're more used to using forums posting here \o/). So it's not just a reminder, but actually a first-time-note about the whole mailing-lists-posting-etiquette which is brand new to some users. -- Ahmad Samir _______________________________________________ Mageia-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss
