Hello everyone,

HP has generously donated a ProLiant DL385 to replace our current master.kernel.org machine, which was donated several years ago by AmNet. This upgrade should help with the additional load of quite a few people running git has put on the machine, as well as help with overall stability.

Starting at 11:00 PST/19:00 UTC this coming Saturday, February 4, we will taking the old machine down; the new machine will come online after everything has been carefully rsynced over. This should hopefully be quick, but just in case, expect a several hour outage.

Public services will not be affected; only mail and upload services will be down.

Huge thanks to HP for the donation, and to Bdale Garbee and Matt Taggart for organizing it at that end.
