Anyone else not able to connect? It's pingable, but that's it. I've noticed it's been intermittently unresponsive lately.

Using errorzilla, a traceroute shows this:

Hi didymos.

The site had to be put down to fix an issue. I'm sure it'll be up as fast as possible.

OK, thanks. I checked the announcements forums, but didn't see anything. I'm just glad the problem isn't on my end.

I have had problems with packages.gentoo.org not showing new content. I have had to manually refresh each visit to see the new packages. Ctrl+refresh-button in firefox, for example.
I'm pretty sure it's not my firefox that's to blame since it happens on several different machines.

Perhaps this is what's getting fixed?

Definately not as sexy, and I havent updated it in a while, but you could use GPNL to browse portage as well.

Or of course there's always the much sexier gentoo-portage.com

Yes, some servers are currently not reachable from the internet, please give the infrastructure folks some time to fix it. Merged to another thread about it.

Still down. It'll take as long as it takes, of course; and yet it'd still be nice to know just what's happening here. If nothing else we can sympathize with the site maintainers in their plight.

Hi guys, I hope to be in the right forum, anyway, anybody noticed that http://packages.gentoo.org is offline since 2 days?
Is it a common server problem or someone decided to close that service?
I hope it will be back soon.

Thanks and greetings,

Merged the above post.

The service has been temporarily suspended. As beandog mentioned in this topic, there are other services which are available in the interim.

Many thanks for the reply, gentoo-portage.com works well (better for some things) so many many thanks!
Have a nice day...

Isnt it obvious - packages.gentoo.org is doing emerge -u world. They should transmit the console log over irc or smth so we would have something to watch while waiting.

Over the last few days I have had no response from packages.gentoo.org. All other gentoo sites seem to be fine. I have tried multiple ISPs and I have got others to try too.

Is there a problem? an upgrade? Something wrong with the vibe getting to Australia?

It's getting a bit frustrating since I find the packages site VERY HELPFUL (which is a KUDO's to the gentoo team.)

Rumor on the gentoo-user mailing list is that it is down "until further notice." Given that there was no notice it was going down, I'm not sure how one would find out it's back up other than to visit it daily, which I already did. I hope this isn't a permanent state of affairs.

Dear desultory,

Sorry about the duplicate - It is just that the gentoo forums are very difficult to search.

I searched for "packages", "packages.gentoo.org" and nothing came up.

We know about that, too.
