Hi all - Thanks to the nice folks at Ruby Central, RubyForge is getting new hardware (\*) and a new colocation home. In other words, we’re moving it out of Rich Kilmer’s basement! So, tomorrow RubyForge will be down for a few hours while all the data gets moved over to the new machine. The downtime will start at about 10 AM EST and end, well, as soon as I can get a database dump copied over and restored. And as soon as the DNS change propagates, too. If you’re so inclined you can add a hosts entry for [rubyforge.org](http://rubyforge.org) and beat the DNS movement; the new IP is 205.234.109.18. Questions/comments welcome, Yours, Tom C.

By the way, a few folks have gotten a message to the effect of “POSSIBLE DNS SPOOFING DETECTED!” when they’ve tried to checkout or commit code to RubyForge. This is due to the new server key on the new machine. To make this message go away, delete the [rubyforge.org](http://rubyforge.org) key from your .ssh/known\_hosts file and try your checkout/commit operation again. Yours, Tom ---
