Quince shutdown

[chris]

Can people check that there is nothing they need on quince -- I think it's safe to shut it down at the end of the month?

There will still be the backups, I suggest we keep them for a few month just in case.

Testing reply via email...

Regarding Quince: I think I'm done with it but would be good to know the
backups are around for a bit. There's also the old TN repo I renamed
https://github.com/i-jk/OBSOLETE-Transition-Network -- this will be going
after a few months as it's superseded.

That shouldn't have worked as you replied to the old email address not
the new one, did you realise this and resend it?

In any case I have added a forwarder so email to the old address will
end up at the new address.

They will be.

Yep, realised and changed the address.

Good addition to the setup, means I can chime in from my phone.

I have shutdown quince and updated the wiki:NewLiveServer wiki page and the wiki:WikiStart front page.

I have also removed the DNS record:

quince 3600 IN A 81.95.52.88

And also commented out the Munin config stats on the munin server.
