I have been working on my file/mail/backup server machine because the old pata disk drive started to have some sector failures. So I have been transferring everything over to a raid based sata setup on the same machine but with a change of OS from Ubuntu to Arch Linux so I have been having a challenging time trying to work on the upgrade/transfer while at the same time keeping everything going on a day to day basis.
I have just about finished that successfully now so I will be able to spend more time on the package updates again.

Regards,

Adolf.
