[cfarm-announces] gcc120-123 and gcc140 will be removed in one month, replacement hosts available

[CFarm Annoucements]

Due to frequent hardware failures and the resulting support load on our
hosting provider, the shared OpenCompute machines will be definitely shut
down in one month (1st of July 2022). This applies to gcc120, gcc121,
gcc122, gcc123, and gcc140.

OSUOSL has kindly provided new machines to replace them:

- gcc186 running Debian 11.3
- gcc187 running CentOS 8 Stream
- gcc188 running openSUSE Leap 15.4

Everybody should migrate to these new machines as soon as possible. Any
user data left on the old machines will be definitely lost when the
machines are shut down.

For the experimental RISC-V virtual hosts on gcc140, we hope to find a
replacement solution very soon.

As always, a big thanks to OSUOSL for their excellent support!
