translate.fedoraproject.org Outage From December 12, 2009

translate.fedoraproject.org would be unavailable during the upcoming multi-day outage scheduled from December 12th 2009 to move the server hardware to a new location.

Issues with translate.fedoraproject.org

Over the past week, translate.fedorarproject.org site was bugged by several issues ranging from non-availablity of .po files, submission problems, timeouts etc. A problem related to submissions over SSH was fixed by the Fedora Infrastructure team. Additionally, a problem with the ssh-agent setup used by transifex is creating problems related to read/write access on the fedorahosted.org repositories. These issues may remain for a few more days in view of the limited availability of the Fedora Infrastructure admins attending the FUDCon and the upcoming server move schedule. Meanwhile, any further issues are to be reported directly via Fedora Infrastructure tickets.

Currently, an older version of transifex is being used for translate.fedoraproject.org, which is awaiting an upgrade.
