Hello Andy. Thanks for the heads up.

Ok, this is very bad news . Maybe one idea will be to work on http://www.os2site.com/sw/ and try to find an upload mechanism for it.

Regards

This is one of the worst news I expected to hear to date.
Of course we should have more than one way to preserve the amount of OS/2 software stored on it, but still... Visiting Hobbes has become something like a daily stroll.
A lot of work will be needed to change the links present, e.g. in eCSoft/2.

Thinking about it.

Old os2site.com website, old mirrors section, new os2site.com website based on what you have done at hobbes that you have access to.
I do have a stable location now, with a fixed IP and rev delegation.

I did continue updating my copy of os2site.com for a while but wasn't able to update os2site.com which is hosted by Roderick since I moved as my os2site.com is OS/2 server based and Rodericks is Nix based.

It is easy enough to enable file viewing under Apache with SFTP access to update the files, bit harder to add descriptions though Apache does allow file generic descriptions.

Anyways, I will update my offline hobbes mirror shortly, and going into the hobbes close down date. Just got to blow the dust off my server and plug it in again...
Might look at trying to put os2site.com on linux here as Roderick has done, then maybe Roderick could mirror the new os2site.com instead.

I send an email this morning before I went to work to hobbes asking if they can refer to the os2site.com or put up a notification message on hobbes.nmsu.edu to point to www.os2site.com.

I already send an email this morning to you as well Ian :-)
I send it to your gmail address.

Roderick
