Wouldn't this be a good time to consider starting to adopt functional based names instead of non-descriptive themed names? https://kanboard.archlinux.org/project/1/task/121 Sent from my phone, please excuse my brevity.

Hey y'all,
I just finished up setting up gemini.archlinux.org which will serve as the new repos and archive host as orion.archlinux.org is getting way too small for this. gemini should easily serve us for the next decade or two given our current rate of growth.
It now needs the archive and repo data migrated to it and then we need to do the actual switchover. For users (packagers, that is), not much should actually change except for an SSH warning. We'll inform you about new host keys once this is switched over.
After the initial data sync, we need to set up the actual tools that allow for repo operation (mainly dbscripts and I believe some parts of archweb) and then switch the DNS. We'll likely disallow package updating for a short critical switch over period to make sure we are perfectly synced but this is yet to be coordinated.
The machine is an Intel E3-1270 v3 with 32GiB of ECC DDR3 and 4*10TiB in BTRFS RAID6 for an effective 20TiB of usable space. I know, this seems daring given BTRFS's history but we looked at the recent stability improvements of BTRFS RAID56 and it now seems stable enough for production usage. At any rate, we have backups.
Cheers, Sven
