Seems down, I cannot connect to that site as well.

I have also noticed that.

Yes, I do believe you're correct.
Funny thing is ... I haven't been on here since last time debian forums went down


I hope it isn't down as long as it was last year!!

Subject: deinstallation of irqbalance made most of debian.org machines offline
Hi,

We are very sorry to inform that today DSA deployed an update (removing
irqbalance) which made most of Debian machines unavailable.

We currently are in the process of rebooting and fixing the machines,
but the sheer number of hosts that need to be fixed mean that it will
take some time.

For some machines we also need to wait for the local admins to react.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Martin

PS: Thanks to Margarita Manterola for drafting that text.

Thanks for keeping us informed.

I was getting worried after the Debian User Forums had been down for more than 24 hours.

Ah so that explains it, thanks.

This update affects all Debian (i suppose stable) running machines or only the ones having the debian-admin repository?

I had a page come up but then it went down again. They must be getting close.

Still down.

They're Back Up !

Backup w00t!
