The switchover has now been completed.
Unfortunately there were some minor issues which did crop up once the

Replacement builds have been started which should process normally.

For several other projects there have unfortunately been regressions.
In instances where this impacts on Dependency Builds that need to be
conducted, developers will be receiving followup mail from me shortly.
