Re: [EXTERNAL]Re: [PATCH 0/5] Remove dead linux-mips.org references
This message was rejected by the spam filter at vger.kernel.org. To ensure that everybody on the original email list gets the reply, I'm resending it as plain text (which I should have figured out long ago). I profusely apologize for the multiple resends. Hi Lukas, I apologize for the delay. As you may know, we recently emerged from Chapter 11 reorganization and I'm working on a lot of issues related to this. I did get in touch with Ralf, but I have not been able to make progress with Hetzner. I'm dependent on Ralf to help me get the machine at Hetzner working again. I will continue to try to do this. If waiting for me to get linux-mips.org working is not an option, I understand that you may have to move on. I know the disappearance of linux-mips.org has caused problems for you. But can you please help me understand the implication of your question: "should Thomas pick up the remaining patches of this series?" I am thinking the answer to that question is yes, but I'm not sure if I'm the right person to answer that question. I guess I am somewhat clueless about how the patch process works for MIPS, and how linux-mips.org is involved. If I am never able to get linux-mips.org back online, what does that mean? So please understand that I want to keep the "MIPS infrastructure" items such as linux-mips.org functioning. Any help or suggestions are welcomed. Thank you.

Hi Everybody, This is Kurt Martin. I'm part of the MIPS Customer Engineering team at Wave Computing. Some of you may remember me. I have just established contact with Ralf, and I will be working with him to restore linux-mips.org back to life. I just got the account and login information for the linux-mips.org hosting account at Hetzner from Chris Dearman. So as Maciej says, please hold off any actions at this time, and I will attempt to get linux-mips.org working again as quickly as possible. Thanks!

I have been contacted by Ralf a couple of weeks ago and he told me there had been a storage failure with the machine running linux-mips.org. Due to a complex situation with linux-mips.org I do not want to dive the details of into here recovery of the site caused some trouble, however I was told it had been under way now. So I suggest that we wait a couple of weeks yet and see how it goes before going ahead with this series. As to Ralf personal commitments WRT maintenance duties I can't speak, but I have bcc-ed him on his alternative e-mail address with this message in case he wants to speak up. Maciej
