Notice: Hacking & Coffee mirror termination in 2024
by Tails Hon1nbo 16 Feb '24

16 Feb '24

It pains me to post these notices, but H&C is shutting it's DC operations later this year. We will file a ticket on the tracker once we have a firm timeline. All servers are maintained until we finalise the timeline, so action is not currently required. We have had the pleasure of giving back to the community for so many projects over the years, and this one has always been closest to me as a heavy arch user and knowing how well these mirrors performed to people I have interacted with both locally and at travel events Quite a few people I've met even hard coded this mirror. Even though it's a terrible idea to hard coded a mirror, I can't help but admit it fed my ego a little bit. I wish the community the best, and am happy to see how healthy the mirror list is. I hope the new changes in the process create an even better experience for operators and users on top of an already exceptional platform that is the Arch mirror system.

Are there any SLA requirements?
by Gentry Deng 14 Feb '24

14 Feb '24

Hello, I noticed that the mirrors provided by some Chinese mainland universities stopped working, and I learnt from other sources that it was due to school holidays and hence the schools shut down the power supply. So I was wondering if archlinux has any SLA requirements for mirror? Best regards, Gentry

"Could not parse time from lastsync" - asking for help
by Jeremy Kescher 02 Feb '24

02 Feb '24

I run the mirrors at https://archlinux.org/mirrors/kescher.at/ and unfortunately, I keep seeing a rather rare "Could not parse time from lastsync" on the Arch mirror status site, curiously on both rsync and https. This prevents completion from reaching 100%, which is rather annoying to me, and presumably some folks that depend on the mirror's existence. I have my own monitoring set up to check lastsync, and I have no recorded failure. Same goes for error logs I have set up specifically to debug this. Does anyone here have experience in debugging this? I have no idea what could be causing this anymore.
