Crater.dragonflybsd.org maintainance

    Crater.dragonflybsd.org (the repo master) had an unrecoverable disk
    error overnight which caused its filesystems to drop into read-only
    mode, preventing list mail from being forwarded and probably causing
    other weirdness.

    The bad drive has been replaced.  All services are up again though
    Leaf users should note that /archive's 2+ million files are still
    being copied from the old drive.  Avalon's pkgsrc.git (which is where
    everyone pulls from) will start syncing again later today once crater's
    pkgsrc.git (which is the actual master) is resynced.

    The hard error occured in pkgsrc.git.

    Those people who committed and pushed overnight should check that
    the commits made it.  I didn't have to restore from backup but it's
    a good idea to double-check anyway.
