Hi Karl,

There is a cron delay indeed, one to replicate Savannah DB groups to
the 'accounts' system, then another to replicate the groups to other
VServers, and a 3rd one to create repositories in 'vcs-noshell'.
Which usually take ~1h.

However, there was also a kernel upgrade with a new version of VServer
which introduced some changes in the network configuration, which
prevented 'accounts' from accessing the database, hence breaking the
chain.  As the network work down, it didn't send mail either, so we
weren't notified immediately.  That's what took most of the time.
