Just some news on the new Veronica-2 server (helsinki).

helsinki got built this weekend; it's running NetBSD on a Power Macintosh 7300 with a 500MHz G3 (1.1 Mdhry/sec, compared to stockholm which clocks in at 425 Kdhry/sec), 512MB RAM, and a 40GB Western Digital ATA/100 drive.

The eventual goal is to have helsinki take over from stockholm as gopher.floodgap.com, and all the gopher services will run from it. (Yes, you heard right, the gopher host will be more powerful than the web host ;-) It will run bucktooth 0.1pr4 as well.

All the tables were built in MySQL last night, but I'm not going to import any of the current index from stockholm because the new V-2 data format is different, and also, many changes have occurred since the last database build. This new design is intended to be dynamic and auto-updating rather than waiting for static en-bloc updates like the old WAIS and textil-fs engines.

ETA to deployment is approximately a month and a half or so, depending on how long it takes to build a decent index. Watch for the robot in your server logs soon.

Floodgap loves you. ;-)
