New faster GitHub pages

[debugger22]

I keep getting a warning mail from GH stating this:

The page build completed successfully, but returned the following warning:

GitHub Pages recently underwent some improvements (https://github.com/blog/1715-faster-more-awesome-github-pages) to make your site faster and more awesome, but we've noticed that docs.sympy.org isn't properly configured to take advantage of these new features. While your site will continue to work just fine, updating your domain's configuration offers some additional speed and performance benefits. Instructions on updating your site's IP address can be found at https://help.github.com/articles/setting-up-a-custom-domain-with-github-pages, and of course, you can always get in touch with a human at support@github.com. For the more technical minded folks who want to skip the help docs: your site's DNS records are pointed to a deprecated IP address.

For information on troubleshooting Jekyll see:

@asmeurer is it possible to make these changes in DNS server? It says that it'll speed up the website.

Here's a blog post for the same: https://github.com/blog/1917-github-pages-legacy-ip-deprecation

I looked into it about a year ago. If you tell me exactly what to set, I'll be happy to do it.

Here is info about it:

https://help.github.com/articles/setting-up-a-custom-domain-with-github-pages/
https://help.github.com/articles/tips-for-configuring-a-cname-record-with-your-dns-provider/
https://help.github.com/articles/tips-for-configuring-an-a-record-with-your-dns-provider/

So one needs to carefully study those and then see what exact change to make. Our dns provider is linode.com.

I was going to bug you about this at the summit but I forgot.

[asmeurer]

Is it possible for you to give me admin access on Linode?

This is more urgent now that the week-long brownout has started for misconfigured sites. docs.sympy.org currently serves a “Site temporarily disabled” page because of this.

On December 1st, sites with the old configuration will be permanently disabled.

Thanks. We actually already fixed it, see our mailinglist for updates. docs.sympy.org works for me now. Wait a few hours for your local dns server to update and it will work for you as well.
