[arch-haskell] Kiwilight is going away, thank you Kaiting

[Magnus Therning]

This isn't really affecting anyone, but some of you have been around
long enough to remember that the repo used to be hosted on
auriga.kiwilight.com.

Yesterday I received an announcement from Kaiting Chen that he's
taking down the Kiwilight server.  It's been badly out-of-date for a
long time, and somewhat neglected, but it has soldiered on and I'm
still using it regularly for the ArchHaskell work.

Thank you Kaiting for providing this excellent service for so long, it
will be missed, but I see no issues with managing without it :)

# A bit of history

Early on in the life of ArchHaskell we were in need of a place to host
the repo.  Kaiting graciously gave us access to one of his Kiwilight
servers (it wasn't Auriga at first, but I've forgotten its name).
Soon after that he also gave me root access and the Kiwilight server
wasn't only our repo, but also the machine where all packages were
built.

At some point, due to Kaiting being extremely busy, it started falling
behind on updates (it was rather heavily configured, using Kerberos
and other stuff I know nothing of, so I didn't dare trying to keep it
up-to-date myself).  Then the HTTP server failed, but we already had
the Xsounds mirror by then.  I kept on building the packages on
Kiwilight though, until finally that didn't work either and I had to
go back to building on my laptop.

Still, every ArchHaskell package you've downloaded over the year has
passed via the Kiwilight server, nowadays it's used only for signing.

I'll miss the Kiwilight server, but the ArchHaskell work won't really
be affected at all by its passing :)
