Today we're going to try rebasing all Kiwis (except those running Debian 8) to v1.800.

Please be patient. This is a long update as the file cache has to complete a one-time load which takes extra time if your Internet connection to kiwisdr.com happens to be slow.

Debian 8 Kiwis will update to v1.710 which has no other changes except the version number change.

If your non-Debian 8 Kiwi ends up running v1.710 that means the transition to v1.800 failed and I need to look at it.

Starting with v1.801 we can resume with binary updates and get rid of these ridiculous update times.

v1.800 removes the /root/Beagle_SDR_GPS git clone subdirectory which had grown to anywhere between 500 and 1600 MB and replaces it with a new clone called KiwiSDR (current size 55 MB).

And also a new directory /root/KiwiSDR.files updated from kiwisdr.com (i.e. not part of the Github clone) containing large static files (current size 88 MB).

As a result the new KiwiSDR clone should grow much more slowly over time as it will mostly contain only source code changes and not historical copies of these huge binary files. So things now look roughly like this and there is now plenty of free filesystem space:

Of the two VPS's the latest one supports https connections. And certain services have been migrated to it. That's why the forum supports https for example. I've been moving things there, but some services are difficult to move for various reasons. So they fall down the priority list because of that. I'll get there eventually. Eventually I'll have to (e.g. the day browsers finally drop non-SSL websites).
