Re: ROOT Server Outage...

Hi Eduard,

    the simplest thing is to generate the doc yourself, for the version you've installed:

If you have a local root installation you can also generate the docs yourself from the sources using:
$> cd $ROOTSYS (might not be needed)
$> root -l
root [1] html = THtml()
root [2] html.MakeAll()

This will put all the docs including the index page in the htmldoc folder under $ROOTSYS.

But anyway, we hope to be soon back to our good old stable self (this was the first >1 days outage in >16 years).

Cheers, Fons.
