Jenkins use is extreme but rare. And Mailman needs to do its job reliably, but people have different expectations about the timeliness of email as opposed to waiting for a webpage. Sounds like a good division of services. Chris

But this may not quite work as well as it once did and really we should have disabled that hostname some time ago. Since we didn't Google has happily continued to index packages under that hostname. So for now what I have done is change the configuration so that if a map1.squeakfoundation.org URL is used it is automatically redirected to the same map.squeak.org URL and with a permanent redirection status. Hopefully google and other search indexers will register the redirection and correct their indexes. Ken
