Welp. I feel a bit silly, but I ran into more issues in testing. I
solved them, except theres a slow rsync between the servers I'm working
on speeding up to minimize downtime. I'm hoping to sort that out this
evening and upgrade tomorrow.

Some more delays came up today and although I could upgrade today, its
too late in the day in case issues come up, so I will plan to upgrade at
1pm eastern time tomorrow.

Update: The upgrade is delayed probably until tomorrow afternoon. I hit
a few bugs in our automation. I'm also delaying the ipv6 change until a
later date.

[Savannah-hackers-public] lists.gnu.org upgrade is planned for Monday June 3rd

2019-05-31 Thread Ian Kelling
This will affect all these mailman sites:
lists.gnu.org : lists.defectivebydesign.org : lists.endsoftpatents.org : 
lists.libreplanet.org : lists.nongnu.org

This should only result in about 5-10 minutes of downtime. Probably in
the early afternoon eastern time. I will announce it on
https://quitter.im/fsfstatus at least a few minutes beforehand. The main
change will be a small version increase for mailman, and a large version
upgrade for exim and apache.

Exim will also start using and preferring ipv6. We disabled that
sometime in the last year, I can't remember but I think newer exim
should solve the issue. We use ipv6 on eggs already, so it should be ok.

I'm sending some more details to savannah-hackers-private.
