[CollEc] the grand migration

[Düben, Christian]

The migration is going well so far. Stable Ubuntu is much less prone to compatibility errors than stable Debian is.

Regarding the migration I would like to address two issues:

1. I see that Helos has been up for 601 days. Can we (upgrade) and reboot the machine, i.e. run the following common upgrading lines? Or are you currently running any scripts that cannot be interrupted?
	sudo apt-get update
	sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
	sudo apt-get autoremove
	reboot

2. What do you think about adding a SSL certificate? Let's Encrypt certificates are free. Google already punishes HTTP websites by assigning them a lower rank than HTTPS websites in search results. And the company intends to take further steps against HTTP.

  I did arrive and I'm fine. I gave blood for the PSA test, but
  now I need to head to the village to give Segus a key.

  I'm working on a legacy site. This will have the RAS data from
  up-to-today. So we don't update the data at
  http://legacy.collec.repec.org. This will be written on all pages.

  I'm building a legacy site at http://legacy.collec.repec.org
  (lecol).  This is supposed to use the old code. I will slowly update
  it so that it will show the RAS network as of today. At this time,
  http://collec.repec.org will be the same as the legacy. We will
  change that when you have migrated. lecol does not show now, I
  don't know why it does not seem to want to see the virtual
  host.
