files.pharo.org: Moving to new server

Hi,

We will change the DNS to a new server.

This should be transparent, but of course we never know…

Stages:

        1) Change DNS to point to new server of   (TODAY)
                        files.pharo.org
                        get.pharo.org
                        updates.pharo.org

        2) Change DNS Server from NameCheap to new provider  (TOMORROW)
            (this will speed up DNS queries ;-)

        3) enable CDN for the static files.  (NEXT WEEK)

Success! DNS has propagated (at least to here) and it works.
I should be more reliable and faster.

The CDN should give some speedup for people overseas (US / ASIA), curious to
see how much impact this will have :)

Camillo fixed it.

Next: DNS Server (after Lunch).

This might impact the URL forwards
        ci.pharo.org
        pharo.org

as forwarding is done differently on the new setup.

We decided to do that next week… mostly because URL forwarding like
is was done at namecheap is more complicated with the new DNS provider
(read: they don't do that, as it is not DNS but needs a server).

Instead we managed to the whole update cycle to work again for 3.0 using
the new server (which was more complex than imaginable…).

TODO

for CND
        -> setup server for forwarding DNS entries to URLs
        -> Switch DNS Provider
        -> enable caching CDN

for updating

        -> fix 2.0 like we did 3.0 today
        -> fine-tune changed update process
