[arch-mirrors] multiple new Tier 1 mirrors
Hello,
I would like to setup 4 new mirrors now and 2 more in the very new future (within 2 months).
There will be 3 in the US, 1 in London, 1 in Hong Kong, and 1 in Sydney.
However your wiki states you are not accepting new ftp mirrors. All of our mirrors are configured for http, ftp, and rsync.
Will our servers being configured for ftp exclude us from the possibility of being an official mirror?

Sounds great! How is you plan to sync those? Would you sync one of your server from one of our tier 1 mirrors and then sync the others from there?

That's not a problem as you also provide http. We just no longer advertise the use of ftp as it has all kinds of disadvantages. This would then only exclude mirrors that only offer ftp. So you should be fine.

Currently we sync from the closest tier 1 for other repos. We are working to re architect the sync procedures using jenkins instead of cron so that we can tier things such as sync 1 of our mirrors then invoke syncs from our other mirrors.

Good to know.

if you are requesting to became tier 1, should you sync directly from us?

The wiki article just states to sync from a tier 1 mirror.
If you have preferred mirrors I sync from for dallas, chicago, sydney, and hong kong I'd be more than happy to adjust the temporary syncing. When I get my task manager setup I will sync to one of my locations and push the changes out to the rest of my mirrors that way.

No, the paragraph you reference to could be clearer written; we don't accept new ftp mirror urls. Your http and rsync urls can be admitted to our database. Please create a feature request on our bugtracker as per the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mirroring.
