<para>There were some troubles on our servers which made it impossible for

our mirror maintainers to synchronize. The Ibiblio support team assures

us that everything is running OK now. Remember that you have to use a
|
|
command similar to the following in order to start the synchronization
|
|
process:</para>

<para>In January, all maintainers will be contacted again to check that

their mirror and contact information is still up to date and that their

mirrors are running in sync.</para>
