[ocaml-infra] caml.inria.fr/pub will be down in Jan 2016 for 48 hours

[Fabrice Le Fessant]

I think the idea behind keeping /pub/ on caml.inria.fr is to
authenticate that a particular tarball is the official INRIA's
version, not a fork modified by the community. It does make sense for
me, although we could even limit INRIA's contribution to publishing
checksums for tarballs that would be hosted on ocaml.org.
