Work on the upgrades is going pretty well.  clfs.org and trac.clfs.org 
are up, and now offer https via SNI + let's encrypt certs, and are ipv6 
compatible.  Still have a little hiccup with the table of contents on 
trac, but it is running the latest version now at least.  Anonymous ftp, 
and package and patches downloads and book viewing all should be good.  
Still on the todo list:

- Get git moved over to github.  There appears to be trac+github 
integration so that's cool.
- Was anyone using @clfs.org email addresses?  I can setup something up 
off-server.
- Was anyone still using their shell accounts?  The data is there, just 
need to re-add users.
- Apparently I was still hosting headers.clfs.org - the project before 
linux kernel headers got settled.  Anything interesting for posterity or 
call it done?
- cblfs.clfs.org hadn't been updated in a while, still worth keeping up 
or defer to blfs?
- hints.clfs.org hasn't been touched in a while, keep or dump?
- pastebin.clfs.org - was considering just using privatebin 
https://github.com/PrivateBin/PrivateBin
- various cron jobs to sync things from lfs.org for lfs-matrix.net, blfs 
packages, etc.
- book building/compiling cron, noticing changes from github.

If anyone sees anything off not mentioned above, let me know.

On a funny side note, meander/meanwhile keeps on chugging along. It is a 
Dell PowerEdge R410 from 2009, but I overbuilt it back then with 32GB 
ECC ram, 2x Intel E5520 processors (4c/8t each), and was kindly donated 
4x seagate ST400FM0223 (400GB SAS SSDs) to make a nice raid array.  The 
seagate 1tb sas drives meander came with were crazy unreliable, having 
chewed through honestly at least 20 of them.  So SSDs are appreciated.  
Meander is currently living far away from me in Ashburn, Virginia 
hanging off a gigabit internet connection.
