RE: [EXTERNAL]Re: [PATCH 0/5] Remove dead linux-mips.org references

[Kurt Martin]

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!

Regards,
Kurt

 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.
