[Box-Admins] Re: squeaksource.com transition to new server

Thu Oct 3 11:51:51 UTC 2013

Andrea,

I have made a copy of the files you provided:

-rw-r--r-- 1 lewis users 16345989554 2013-10-03 02:59 dump__2-10-1013.tgz
-rw-r--r-- 1 lewis users   167474616 2013-10-02 18:11 squeaksource.image

Thanks once again for all your support. You can remove all of the files
from your server now.

CC to box-admins list:

We now have a full copy of the original squeaksource.com from immediately
after the switch to our box3.squeak.org server. I will use this to double
check for any possible missing files or unresolved differences. It will
also serve as a reference copy in case any squeaksource.com users identify
problems.

I have the files on my home PC at the moment. I can move them to box3 if
anyone sees a need, but they are quite large so I won't do that unless
someone asks.

Dave
