/pub was reset last night, which basically means anything that may have
been pushed from about 19:00 Nov 1 UTC to 02:56 Nov 2 UTC could be
squashed and will need to be re-pushed, but this should clean up the
vast majority of the issues there were present there.

This will likely mean a few more extra tip e-mails for those of you on
that mailing list (again sorry about that), and possibly some other
e-mails from various cron scripts that individual users are running and
maintaining.

I've gone ahead and created /home/restore - it has have a copy of the
home directory as it existed around 19:00 Nov 1 UTC.  I will garauntee
it being around until Nov 30th.  I will need to delete it sometime after
that, mainly because of the backup bloat it will cause.  If you made
changes to your home directory between Sept. 29th and Nov 1, you will
need to deal with the merging of the data manually.

With respect to those users who use IMAP against the machine I've copied
your INBOX mail spools to /home/restore/MAILSPOOL.  The easiest way to
deal with merging this in with your current inbox is toe copy your spool
to your ~/mail directory, load up thunderbird and copy all the mail from
the old inbox to your current inbox and then use something like "Remove
Duplicate Messages (alternate)" to eliminate the duplicates.

That should be everything.  I'm going to keep poking around trying to
find anything else that's off kilter, but I haven't seen any new reports
of anything else amiss yet and things seem to be working otherwise.  So
if you see something amiss, please let me know ASAP.
