[arch-mirrors] miscellaneous

Dear all, I am an administrator of ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de, which is already registered as an Archlinux mirror. I just noticed two strange things about being an Archlinux mirror. 1) The wiki at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mirrors does not show my mirror, although it is registered. I cannot edit this page. I think it is outdated and should be replaced by some automated list. 2) On https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:NewMirrors it is stated "Do not rsync more rapidly than every hour". However, on http://www.archlinux.org/mirrors/status/ I see several mirrors with a low (good) score and an average delay of less than an hour. Most of these are not listed as tier 1 mirrors. As an admin of ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de I'd like to get as much traffic as possible. However, if I play be the rules, my score is not as good as it should be. Please clarify. Since then, we're synchronizing every 30 minutes. PS: What about push triggers? Thanks, -- Carsten Otto otto(a)informatik.rwth-aachen.de LuFG Informatik 2 http://verify.rwth-aachen.de/otto/ RWTH Aachen phone: +49 241 80-21211

Hello, UKDW Repository was having a connectivity issues caused by the hardware problem on the ISP side since last week and we have changed the server to use another ISP and changed the IP address as of today and it's up again, but it will need some time to propagate the DNS record to reflect the new IP address Thanks -- UKDW Repo Admin

[arch-mirrors] Applying for inclusion in official mirror list
by CheerXiao 29 Nov '11

29 Nov '11

Hi all, We at Tsinghua University, PR China, have set up an Archlinux mirror site several months ago. It is quite stable now, and ipv6 ready. You may visit our Archlinux mirror at: http://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/archlinux http://mirrors.4.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/archlinux http://mirrors.6.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/archlinux The first resolves to both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, the second IPv4 only, and the last IPv6 only. The site is located at a core node of CERNET (China Education and Research Network), so it will be quite useful for CERNET users, should our mirror site be included in the official mirror list. (FYI, the site might be quite slow for you guys.) -- Regards, Cheer Xiao aka. xiaq
