Updated: Possible Unreachable Time Tonight

December 29th, 2011 theuni

We will be changing registrars and nameservers for xbmc.org tonight (US time), which could lead to a brief unreachable period (via DNS) while the records propagate around the net. The move will affect this site, the forum, the wiki, trac, our email, and addons in XBMC itself. No action should be required by users or readers. This move away from our current registrar and to a non-US entity is intended as a small provision should the worst come to pass.

We are hoping for a seamless transition and we don’t foresee any difficulties, but don’t be alarmed by any unexpected results for the next day or so. We’ll update this space when the move is complete.

Update: Somehow, these things never go smoothly. The move is complete, but we did see some unreachable time. Most everyone should be back up by now, depending on your DNS servers. Our apologies for any inconvenience.

    A week before a shift I always drop my TTL’s with the old providers so they expire faster in the caches around the globe.

    Rickey Tuggle :
    While the dns is down I was thinking how to edit the commands using the ip address instead of the dns.
    So
    apt-get install org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2
    Would read something like
    apt-get install 205.251.128.242 -atv2
    This is correct in any form I get errors when trying to use this but maybe someone a bit more experienced might have a better use or syntax to use as a work around.

    like you said, that’s not correct in any form. “org.xmbc.xmbc-atv2″ is the database entry for the package in the repository – not a URL. And it’s downloading from whatever ubuntu mirror you’ve chosen – not directly from xbmc.org

    Besides the point now, but while it’s using APT, this is on iOS not Ubuntu. Also, the repo the package is on uses the url http://mirrors.xbmc.org/apt/atv2/
