Unfortunately, Winter Storm Mara delivered several days of freezing rain to the Austin area. The ice and wind has broken a large number of tree branches which has downed a large number of power lines. 30% of the city, including the buildbot machines, has been without power, in the case of the buildbot for 38 hours already. As of four hours ago the power company has stated they are unable to provide an estimate for when power will be restored.

This affects the build.macports.org web page, all build machines*, and also updates to rsync.macports.org.

(*The Apple Silicon build machine is off-site and still online but can't get anything done without build.macports.org telling it what to do.)
