Starship is still down...

It's been over a week since I posted my last gripe about our community server starship being unreachable. Nothing has happened so far... is there any chance on getting the server up and running again ? I am a bit concerned about the lack of support here: starship should be considered a very important part in the Python universe (after all, many Python extension packages and goodies are available from that site). With the frequent downtimes we recently had, I think people will get a wrong picture about the Python community support. Here's a traceroute from Germany to starship: traceroute to starship.python.net (208.185.174.112), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 193.158.137.129 (193.158.137.129) 24 ms 23 ms 23 ms 2 193.158.137.130 (193.158.137.130) 24 ms 35 ms 25 ms 3 D-gw13.D.net.DTAG.DE (212.185.10.22) 67 ms 24 ms 35 ms 4 K-gw13.K.net.DTAG.DE (194.25.124.137) 26 ms 25 ms 25 ms 5 F-gw13.F.net.DTAG.DE (194.25.121.101) 32 ms 33 ms 33 ms 6 TysonsC-gw12.USA.net.DTAG.DE (194.25.6.98) 113 ms 127 ms 131 ms 7 TysonsC-gw1.USA.net.DTAG.DE (194.25.6.113) 115 ms 117 ms 134 ms 8 mae-east-switch0.maee.above.net (208.184.210.9) 134 ms 114 ms 123 ms 9 core1-mae-east-oc3-1.iad.above.net (209.133.31.225) 122 ms 116 ms 115 ms 10 sjc2-iad-oc48.sjc2.above.net (216.200.127.26) 184 ms 186 ms 185 ms 11 core5-core3-oc48.sjc2.above.net (208.185.156.66) 183 ms 184 ms 186 ms 12 sjc2-gige-main1.colo6.sjc2.above.net (208.185.156.37) 299 ms 183 ms !H 188 ms !H 13 * * * 14 * * * ...

Afraid Manus Head still gets the Most Outraged award for this one.

Works for me, but only very recently. OTOH, my posts to python.org mailing lists started black-holing, so it's not like Python-Dev will actually see this post <wink>. Here's a trace from my box (in Virginia); it may take a while for recent routing changes to propagate: 1 tnt32.tco2.da.uu.net [206.115.222.61] 2 GigabitEthernet4-0.DR4.TCO2.Alter.Net [206.115.243.2] 3 156.at-3-0-0.HR4.DCA1.ALTER.NET [152.63.34.50] 4 517.ATM1-0.XR2.DCA1.ALTER.NET [152.63.36.198] 5 294.at-7-1-0.XR2.DCA8.ALTER.NET [146.188.163.26] 6 POS7-0.BR4.DCA8.ALTER.NET [152.63.36.25] 7 137.39.52.102 8 beth1br2-ge-1-0-0-0.md.us.prserv.net [165.87.29.139] 9 sfra1br1-so-2-1-0-0.ca.us.prserv.net [165.87.233.42] 10 sfra1sr3-ge-0-3-0-0.ca.us.prserv.net [165.87.33.139] 11 pacbellpsfoc3.ca.us.prserv.net [165.87.161.5] 12 core3-g2-0.snfc21.pbi.net [209.232.130.78] 13 rback26-fe2-0.snfc21.pbi.net [216.102.187.153] 14 adsl-63-202-160-65.dsl.snfc21.pacbell.net [63.202.160.65] 15 starship.python.net [63.202.160.91]

They're getting an accurate view of current Starship support. So it goes. Plans for better support *are* in progress, but for reasons that won't become clear until later, you haven't heard anything about them yet. for-that-matter-i'm-not-entirely-sure-i-have-either-ly y'rs - tim
