ibiblio services/changes announcement list

[Don Sizemore <dls AT metalab.unc.edu>]

  Hello,

  PHP upgrade postponed:
  ---------------------
  UNC was snowed out again this morning, and we'd rather not undertake a 
major system change so late in the week (Monday/Tuesday upgrades give us 
all week to iron out residual problems). There are some scheduling 
conflicts around the office next week, so we're postponing our web 
cluster's PHP upgrade until February 2, 2009.

  login.ibiblio.org maintenance:
  -----------------------------
  Red Hat released a slew of package updates this morning, and among them 
is a new kernel offering security fixes, NFS fixes, and a fix for a kernel 
bug we've been seeing intermittently on login.ibiblio.org's public NIC.

  We'd like to reboot login.ibiblio.org onto this new kernel tomorrow 
morning, around 6:30 a.m. EST.  If the timing of this reboot poses an 
insurmountable difficulty to you, please do let us know via 
http://www.ibiblio.org/help/ and we'll work something out.

  thank you,                                    919.962.5646 w
