[arch-mirrors] [Action Required] Leftover .~tmp~ directories with rsync 3.2.0 - 3.2.3
by Evangelos Foutras 29 Jul '21

29 Jul '21

Dear mirror admins, Due to a bug in rsync versions 3.2.0 to 3.2.3 (inclusive), the use of --delay-updates can leave behind .~tmp~ directories containing updated files that never make it out of the temporary location. [1] This issue has led to outdated repo databases and lastupdate files in the past. Last year, the syncrepo-template.sh script (linked from the wiki [2]) was updated to remove any existing .~tmp~ directories before calling rsync. This workaround is needed if you use rsync 3.2.0 - 3.2.3. Arch's rsync 3.2.3-4 package has been patched for this problem so the workaround is not required for mirrors running on Arch. The syncrepo-template.sh script was just updated again to replace --delete-after with --delete-delay (as a performance optimization) and to stop using a temporary directory for file transfers. The exact commits (with accompanying commit messages) can be found at [3] (ignore the first and last commit which are specific to Arch's infra). To avoid having mirrors with stale repositories because of the .~tmp~ issue, please rebase your syncrepo script to match the latest version of the template obtained through the link in the wiki. If you don't use rsync 3.2.0 - 3.2.3 (or use Arch's patched version), feel free to comment out the .~tmp~ workaround. Cheers, Arch DevOps [1] https://github.com/WayneD/rsync/issues/192 [2] https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:NewMirrors [3] https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/infrastructure/-/merge_requests/471/…

Hi, The tier 1 mirror uk2.net has been disabled due to being out of date and due to the absence of communication from the uk2.net administrator. All tier 2 mirrors that are currently/still using uk2.net as their upstream, please switch to a different tier 1 mirror from this list: https://archlinux.org/mirrors/tier/1/ If any of the uk2.net mirror administrators happen to see this message, please get in touch with me via mirrors(a)archlinux.org.

[arch-mirrors] arch.lucassymons.net mirror minor update
by Lucas Symons 28 Jun '21

28 Jun '21

Hi All, The mirror arch.lucassymons.net has swapped its tier 1 upstream server to rsync://syd.mirror.rackspace.com/archlinux/ The other tier 1 servers in Australia (aarnet and digitalpacific) are having issues with slow sync times or server errors. So I have swapped over to try and keep my mirror as up-to-date as possible and my sync time as low as possible. If there are any issues please feel free to reach out and let me know. Thanks, Lucas

[arch-mirrors] Investigating questionable rsync behavior
by Easy Lee 11 Apr '21

11 Apr '21

Hi everyone, I noticed something strange going on with rsyncd on my mirror but I am not sure if it is an actual issue on my end. Someone able to give advice? The rsyncd reports the following behavior quite often: Apr 10 09:19:40 srv2340 rsyncd[31797]: connect from Y.tld (X.X.X.X) Apr 10 09:19:40 srv2340 rsyncd[31797]: rsync on archlinux/community/os/x86_64/community.db from Y.tld (X.X.X.X) Apr 10 09:19:41 srv2340 rsyncd[31797]: building file list Apr 10 09:19:44 srv2340 rsyncd[31797]: rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (43 bytes received so far) [sender] Apr 10 09:19:44 srv2340 rsyncd[31797]: rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(235) [sender=3.1.3] My rsync config: pid file = /run/rsyncd.pid uid = nobody gid = nogroup max connections = 50 socket options = SO_KEEPALIVE [archlinux] path = /path/to/archlinux/ comment = Arch Repository read only = true Is this something I should fix or is it caused by an issue on the users end? Cheers
