As part of the ongoing effort to improve the reliability, availability of the project resources.  The servers are being relocated into a high availability cluster, the outage should last no more than 4 hours.

Thanks for your understanding

Igor Wawrzyniak wrote on his blog :

Don’t know if anyone ever needs such a crazy setup, but here it goes. I needed to run a software that requires Firebird 2.x. Nothing special, it’s available in my distribution (Ubuntu). I also had to run another app that needs Firebird 1.5. That’s where it started to get complicated
