The lack of the latest files on the linuxaudio
site isn't something I can fix. My understanding is that the situation
used to be that lilypond.org used to run a cron job that scp'ed the binaries
to linuxaudio. However, this stopped working when a) Han-Wen changed
the hosting of lilypond.org or b) there was a problem with linuxaudio and it
had to be rebuilt.
I assume it was the
latter. Somewhere I read a blog post about their server being hacked and
completely rebuilt in a new infrastructure. Obviously our uploads don't work
anymore since then.
I assume that there is not the correct
certificate on the new lilypond.org system.
The cron job was set up by Jan, and the login I
use has no access to it.
The simplest solution might be to change to
simply pointing all downloads to the lilypond.org server. I think we
didn't do this in the past to lower the load on the server, but the new
infrastructure might not see that as a
problem.
Well, at least currently it's the
problem that the links point to a 404 error page.
a) Who knows whether it
is acceptable to permanently host the binaries on lilypond.org (somehow I
doubt that is an option)?
b) Who knows how much work it will be to get the
hosting on linuxaudio.org to be working again?
If either a) is the way to
go or b) is suspect of taking more time (than say, a few days) we should
temporarily update the links on the download page.

Any
information on how long this situation will last? I think we should
consider updating the website, even if it's temporary.
