Cygwin Time Machine has moved

Cygwin Time Machine has moved

[Peter A. Castro]

Greetings, All,
   First, my apologies in advance if this is considered off-topic, or 
unwelcome in some way.  I figured this would be an appropriate audience 
in which to express this information.  If a more appropriate forum is 
suggested, I will post this there too.  Thanks!

-----

                         !!  Attention  !!

The Cygwin Time Machine has moved!  After many years (and several 
complaints) I've finally moved it to an off-site server with much better 
bandwidth available.  I've also swapped out the FTP server for a 
standard web server for package delivery, which should be more firewall 
friendly too.

Information on the new location is here:

    http://www.crouchingtigerhiddenfruitbat.org/cygwin/timemachine.html

There are instructions on how to rename your existing Cygwin download 
repository to be implicitly reused with this new location and how to 
update your setup.rc similarly.

This will (hopefully) be (fairly) painless for people to convert over to. 
(And even if it isn't, they won't have a choice once I shutdown the old 
server.  :)

I've update the Time Machine webpage on the old site with similar 
information as I've describe here (but with more detail).

For the "TL;DR" crowd:

Old circa prefix was:

    ftp://www.fruitbat.org/pub/cygwin/circa/

New circa prefix is:

    http://ctm.crouchingtigerhiddenfruitbat.org/pub/cygwin/circa/

I'm giving people two weeks to convert over before yanking the old 
service.

Thank you for your attention. :)

Considering the number of times I have seen the time machine come up
here, I can't imagine the news is not needed here.

I absolutely adore the domain name choice.

I'll pass that along to my wife as she is the one who suggested it (along 
with several other, equally cute ones).  She is a very clever person.
She married me after all!  Hmm...maybe that makes me the clever one? :)

Unwelcome?  I find it shocking!  Imagine, the audacity of providing this
service to the Cygwin community for all these years and to now improve on
it.  I'm beside myself!  Someone needs to give Peter a gold star (or three!)
otherwise he's just going to continue to do these outrageous things.  This
simply must stop!

You're absolutely right.  Peter needs a goldstar to discourage him :)

Wow!  I'm touched! (and not just in the head :)

Consider me discouraged! :)

Thank you all for creating such an awesome product so that I may archive 
it!
