--- Comment #1 from Andrei Alexandrescu <andrei at erdani.com> ---
The following sequence of events has happened:

* After Vladimir got an account, he uploaded the site as user "vladimir".

* I upload files as user "d-programming".

* There is a mismatch in groups and permissions of these two usernames that
makes it impossible for me to upload the site. I get errors and freezes in
rsync.

* This problem has been known for a while, and Martin tried to help it:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dlang.org/pull/959

* This afternoon I tried to update the site with the rsync command as fixed by
Martin. Things still didn't work.

* Assuming at least I didn't upload some corrupted files, I gave up and sent
emails to Martin, Vladimir, and Sönke asking for help.

Looking into it further I think the issue here is d-programming is not a member
of the group dlang.org. I emailed about it to Jan.

The core issue here is twofold: (a) we have no centralized web czar so
everybody believes a failure is someone else's problem; (b) our provider (Jan)
is external so we depend on him being around to get stuff done.

In the meantime I manually synchronized /phobos/. Will keep this open until the
rsync issue gets fixed.
