As far as I'm concerned, it's fine that the site is down. No problem with that. What I DO find bad, is that there was no communication about that. I mean, it would have been nice, if there were some sort of I'll be back message, when users try to access http://packages.gentoo.org/. Or at least a message on the mailing list and more importantly, on the Gentoo homepage would have been good. Alexander Skwar -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

The point is if you want immediate and professional reactions everytime something happens you should be paying someone to monitor things.. If you expect volunteers to do the job you should cut them some slack when something goes wrong.. I mean, look at this thread (and others resembling it). If there was a little explanation earlier on, we could have avoided the panic and dissemination of false information that followed. As could just not panicking and avoiding spreading false information everytime your favourite web page isn't up when you need it. -- Bo Andresen signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
