Hi

Is something weird going on with Gentoo?

Yesterday I did an "emerge --sync" and when trying to "emerge --update --deep --newuse world" I saw in "/var/log/emerge-fetch.log" A LOT of messages saying that files were not found in the mirror that I was using since years (http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/gentoo/).
Even other stuff happened - e.g. for the package "sk1libs-0.9.1-r3" the checksum did not match the one of the ebuild.

I have now changed mirror (http://mirror.ovh.net/gentoo-distfiles/) and wanted to emerge "app-shells/bash-4.2_p48" (because of the latest security flaw with older versions of Bash) but even this one cannot be found on this mirror.

What's going on?
Are all mirrors out-of-sync?
Has something been hacked?

I actually wanted to submit this thread to "http://forums.gentoo.org/" but the whole site has gone offline => I'm starting to sweat... .
Edit: "http://forums.gentoo.org/" has just come back online => posting this thread (as well) there.
Edit2: sorry, the first URL was wrong => have now corrected it to "http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/gentoo/".

Thanks

The admin at switch.ch told me that was fixed by the Gentoo admins.
Apparently the master server lost all files (or just mounted an empty directory) and rsync still started up => all mirrors starting sync'ing and wiped out their directories
