Re: No October posts yet?

To be honest, I think CTAN Announcements are spam. It is high volume
and drowns out the discussions here. For people who really need to be
up-to-date with CTAN packages (like people maintaining mirrors), there
is both Atom[2] and RSS[1] feed to help them keep track.

I think this channel should be for more interesting discussions.

It seems that the latest post I see on here before this
one is from September 30. I wonder if that is a
problem with Eternal September? Or has CTAN
abandoned this group, or is on holiday?

 
Yesterday I wrote to CTAN and mentioned the issue. Today I got the
answer that this is due to CTAN’s move to a new server with new
software. They hope that the service can be restored in a medium
term.
Unfortunately first they have to research how to do it, and besides
that
they have other important features to work on.
 
In the meantime the announcements are available online:

OK, thanks.
