Hey all,
I got a response from JTC Inc regarding our use of the modevia server and was told that the server is no longer available for us to use. So, the bad news is that we need to find alternative hosting. However, the good news is that they didn't nuke our data apparently. They want to know what we need to be able to retrieve the data, so I left it with a response asking how much data we had on the server... once we know this we can make arrangements to recover the nightly stuff.
Now is the fun part... does anyone know of any organizations that would be interested in hosting this stuff for us? I'm almost tempted to say the nightly builds might do well on sourceforge just for the sake of mirroring and having a rough idea of download stats. It's just a thought, no one is married to it. All reasonable suggestions are welcome.
Cheers, Josh
Update. It appears we might have about 1.5TB of data with them. Any thoughts on how to deal with this? I'm sure there are a lot of old builds we really don't need, so that could hopefully cut quite a bit out.
Cheers, Josh

OSU OSL might be willing to help out. But, if there are people willing to maintain it I think is a good use-case for things like EC2. In general, nightlies don't need to be backed up or kept for eternity. It seems that, in general, one of the higher costs there is bandwidth, any ideas on how many downloads there were?
Also, I'd like to publicly thank Modevia for helping us out and hosting the server for so long!

OSU OSL is definitely worth exploring.
Is EC2 really viable/sustainable? Does Inkscape have funds for that kind of service? Would we need to fund raise to ensure there was ongoing income to cover the ongoing outgoings?

Depends on how much it costs :-) I think that it is probably something we could cover with our current budgets, but I'm not sure how popular the nightly downloads are for platforms like Windows vs. Ubuntu which Canonical gives us for free. I don't see any reason for us to host Ubuntu nightlies.

I'm helping with hosting development builds too. You can see the downloads stats at every file. Unfortunately i don't have so many webspace to hold many different versions, but it's possible to hold up 10 to 15 diferent versions on my site. It's a great pleasure for me to help the project.

Hi all,
as long as we don't have another sponsor, i can host two or three versions of Inkscape builds for Mac OS X and Unix on my website. So if someone has devel builds that should be published, let me know.
Sincerely, UweSch

Could you please remove the download links to inkscape.modevia.com for win32 & osx development builds from the download page? http://inkscape.org/download/?lang=en (+ other languages) We are getting reports in the bug tracker about the broken links: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/879422 https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/880939
Maybe a short news article about it might also help to inform users who have been helping with testing and bug reporting using the nightlies (or weeklies) for osx & win32.

On my site http://wexfordpress.net I am using 88.56MB out of a total of 1100 mb available. I could set up a subdomain inkscape.wexfordpress.net and set up the necessary password etc. for temporary storage if this is useful. But of course I don't know the volume that needs to be stored.
Let me know if this is a useful spot to host the files.
