[darcs-users] mailing list saga

[David Roundy]

Hi all,

I'm sorry to bombard you with news about my miserable server woes, but I
think now that the mailing lists are fixed.  It turns out that my server
was running out of entropy, and eventually hit absolute zero, at which
point messages sent to remote servers that support tls were hanging waiting
for random bits to create their keys.  I've just disabled tls on sent
emails, which is fine since essentially all the email sent on this list is
public anyways, and the rest I would encrypt if I cared about bad people
reading it.

So hopefully we can all get back to our favorite hobbies of using and
developing darcs... and the wiki should be back up again.  I partially
disabled the old BTS in the process of debugging this problem, and don't
think I'll turn it back on.  I don't see any reason for people to send
emails to the old BTS at this stage.
