[ic] Interchange server migration underway

[Jon Jensen]

Interchange users and developers,

The datacenter where the icdevgroup.org server has been hosted since 2007 
is being decommissioned, and the server will be shut down in a little 
under two weeks from today. So the long-planned server move is now 
happening.

We have begun migrating services to a new virtual server, and today 
started by making the GitHub repository mirrors the new canonical 
locations. (We already moved problem tracking to GitHub issues a few years 
ago.)

Anyone using a Git clone of Interchange will need to update the remote URL 
from git.icdevgroup.org to the GitHub URL given on the download page:

https://www.icdevgroup.org/i/dev/download

We have set up redirects from (many but not all variations of) the old 
Gitweb URLs such as:

http://git.icdevgroup.org/?p=interchange.git;a=blob;f=README.md;hb=HEAD

so that they forward to a relevant GitHub URL.

We have begun using Cloudflare for DNS and CDN services, including HTTPS.

We will be discontinuing the anonymous FTP service at ftp.icdevgroup.org, 
which has long been unnecessary and visited primarily by bots. The HTTP 
download service remains available as always using that hostname at: 
http://ftp.icdevgroup.org/

I'll post more updates over the next week as more services are moved.

Jon
