Hello Folks,

I plan on updating the svn repository from version 1.6.11 to 1.9.4 tonight. I 
will likely start this process sometime this late afternoon. svn.webkit.org 
<http://svn.webkit.org/> will be down during this time. I will also be taking 
build.webkit.org <http://build.webkit.org/> offline, so our bots do not fail 
due to a missing svn server. 

I will also be taking this time to upgrade the backend datastore on 
svn.webkit.org <http://svn.webkit.org/>. This process requires a full svn 
dump/load cycle, and takes a significant amount of time. I expect the the 
server to return online Sunday by end of day.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
I’ll send another email before I take the servers offline.
Lucas
