Hi, I will upload RC2 this morning - including the factory-snapshot repos that will now contain 11.4 repos. Hopefully those RC2 repos are very close to the final - but I can't speak out any guarantees.

Hi, We are getting the following errors while mirroring from stage.opensuse.org. ======================================================================= rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(600) [receiver=3.0.5] ======================================================================= Is this a problem on our end, or is there new acess rules in effect?

[suse-mirror] Mirroring buildservice
by Carsten Otto 04 Oct '10

04 Oct '10

Dear all, we (ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de) are mirroring quite a bit from the openSUSE project, including the build service (OBS). Due to a fast connection and good hardware, we're set up with a large weight in the mirrorbrain system distributing the download requests to the mirrors. This normally means we are serving a high percentage of all traffic for the files that are requested and also reside on our mirror. Based on the traffic we saw in the last month (and before that) I have doubts that mirroring OBS is a real advantage to the community. I understand that it is nice to have redundancy (e.g. if the servers at openSUSE are down) and to have distributed servers to increase download speed due to latency and routing issues. The following graphs show the traffic we see for OBS at our mirror. The yellow part (rsyncd) shows the (incoming) traffic due to openSUSE syncing new content to our mirror. The blue part (HTTP/Nginx) reflects the downloads from actual users (developers?). http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/~cotto/rrd/opensuse-buildservice%23month.… http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/~cotto/rrd/opensuse-buildservice%23week.p… http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/~cotto/rrd/opensuse-buildservice%23day.png As you can see, there is a fair amount of traffic served to the users, but there is also a large amount of traffic needed to synchronize the data. In total, when subtracting the incoming traffic from the outgoing traffic, this boils down to an average of about 2.3 MBit/sec in the last month. This value is positive, meaning our mirror serves more than what is needed to keep it synchronized - but it is very little traffic. For comparison, the openSUSE part of our mirror (excluding OBS) has a monthly average of 56 MBit/sec and Mozilla leads with 968 MBit/sec on average in the last month. I assume there are more mirrors facing similar traffic (maybe not knowing about it, since you need to analyze the log files). I also guess that the openSUSE server/mirror infrastructure is good enough to handle the requests to OBS content without the help from external mirrors (based on the fact that they are good enough to serve all the mirrors with rsync-pushes). Please think about the following aspects: a) some traffic is wasted and maybe paid for (we do not have to pay, though) b) disk space is used c) administrative work needs to be done I could think of several ways to face the current situation: d) leave it as it is e) remove some mirrors with low weight (in areas with good coverage) f) remove all mirrors Option e) would give the remaining mirrors more meaning, although even tripling the traffic would not really be a great step in my opinion. Option f) would not really change the outgoing traffic served by the openSUSE mirrors, although the traffic is shifted from rsync-pushes to HTTP downloads.

Hi, openSUSE 11.3 is gold and I'll upload it soon. I disabled some mirrors from accessing stage.opensuse.org because they offer /distribution/.timestamp_invisible (I should have written each of them). Additionally I put up an /distribution/11.3/iso/README file, that hopefully will not appear on any mirror. I will upload the final 11.3 directory not before saturday, so this should give everyone enough time to fix the setup :) Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mirror+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: mirror+help(a)opensuse.org

You are absolutely right - thanks for the hint! We corrected the reverse DNS entry, so I see now: # host stage.opensuse.org stage.opensuse.org has address 195.135.221.130 # host 195.135.221.130 130.221.135.195.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer stage.opensuse.org.

[suse-mirror] ANN: withlock - reliable & easy locking for cron jobs
by Peter Pöml 22 Feb '10

22 Feb '10

Hi, this is a one-time post to announce the creation of "withlock" - a locking wrapper script to make sure that some program isn't run more than once. It is ideal to prevent periodic jobs spawned by cron from stacking up. The locks created are valid only while the wrapper is running, and thus will *never* require additional cleanup, even after a reboot. This makes the wrapper safe and easy to use, and much better than implementing half-hearted locking within scripts. Usage is simple. Instead of your command CMD ARGS... you simply use withlock LOCKFILE CMD ARGS... If you are a mirror admin, there is a 99.9% chance that you might want to use this locking wrapper. Likely you ran into the situation where a script was (unexpectedly...) not finished before it was started another time; and/or you actually hacked some kind of locking into a script to prevent that from happening. Since I suffered the same situation for some years, I looked around for solutions, and since I couldn't find one, I finally took the time to create one. The resulting wrapper is used in production since summer 2009, and proved to work reliably. Put the wrapper around all your cron jobs and be happy :-) Home page: http://code.google.com/p/withlock/ Features: - locks that never need a cleanup, whatever might happens - can wait a defined time for a lock to become "free" - makes sure that lock files aren't created in unsafe locations (to prevent symlink attacks) - easily installed (it's just one file), highly portable Requirements: - Python 2.4 or newer - lots of platforms are supported (see list on home page) For more information, please come to http://code.google.com/p/withlock/ .

[suse-mirror] wrong rsync behavior with stage::opensuse-full-really-everything/opensuse
by carlos＠fisica.ufpr.br 16 Feb '10

16 Feb '10

When using rsync to get a list of files (which means --list-only is either given or implied) from stage::opensuse-full-really-everything/opensuse we get this: lrwxrwxrwx 8 2009/10/29 06:26:06 distribution/11.2/repo/oss/boot/i386/branding lrwxrwxrwx 8 2009/06/16 22:46:03 factory-snapshot/repo/oss/boot/i386/branding lrwxrwxrwx 8 2009/06/16 22:46:03 factory/repo/oss/boot/i386/branding Note the difference in timestamps between the first and the other two. *However* all 3 files are hardlinks to the same inode, as shown by ls -i: 2147487511 distribution/11.2/repo/oss/boot/i386/branding 2147487511 factory-snapshot/repo/oss/boot/i386/branding 2147487511 factory/repo/oss/boot/i386/branding All file creation and updates are done by rsync, which means it's rsync that is creating the hardlinks. Therefore there is a contradiction between what rsync does with the files and its own listing. The problem has been going on for weeks. It also happens with initrd-xenpae and vmlinuz-xenpae in the same directory and in the x86_64 one. BTW, they're all hardlinks to inodes that are symlinks. In order to see if this bug is due to rsync I'd like to see a listing of these files produced by something like ls -li, find or stat.

Hi openSUSE Users There is some maintenance to be done in the following areas of our openSUSE infrastructure: * build.opensuse.org (Buildservice) * download.opensuse.org (Download infrastructure) As result, there will be a brief outage of all services provided by this machines Thursday, 09:00 German time (CET) The downtime is expected to be * 15-30 minutes for download.opensuse.org and * one hour for build.opensuse.org. Apologies for inconveniencies this may cause. Please contact admin(a)opensuse.org with any queries.

[suse-mirror] IP-Address switch for rsync.opensuse.org
by Lars Vogdt 07 Dec '09

07 Dec '09

Hi Mirrors! There is some maintenance to be done in the following areas of our openSUSE infrastructure: * rsync.opensuse.org * widehat.opensuse.org * tube.opensuse.org We've a replacement host as failover during the downtime, so you shouldn't notive the downtime in the best case (it's just an IP-Address switch). But as the replacement host has a different IP-Address and some Administrators may using hardcoded IP-Addresses to sync from rsync.opensuse.org, maybe you are affected. We will reinstall widehat.opensuse.org (IP: 62.146.92.202) on Wednesday, 2009-12-09 and need to resync the whole mirror content again before we can switch back again. As the content is currently about 1.4 TB, this might need some time (planned: Friday, 2009-12-11). During the downtime, a new "widehat.opensuse.org (IP: 195.135.221.145) serves the whole content - so again: it's not a real downtime, just an IP-Address switch.

[suse-mirror] 11.2 update
by Stephan Kulow 10 Nov '09

10 Nov '09

Hi, I replaced the delta/ directory - the old one had wrong names, I'm sorry for everyone who downloaded the old one, but I noticed too late. We also put repomd data in the repo/oss/suse/repodata, in case you wonder. And I had to replace all signatures as they contained the file names we used during the RC phase - the actual checksums are unchanged, so I don't see a problem per se, but the signatures are not redirected anyway.

[suse-mirror] download.o.o/factory-snapshot
by Stephan Kulow 02 Nov '09

02 Nov '09

Hi, So far we kept the factory-snapshot on widehat only, but as download.o.o gained some brand new GB, we decided to move the snapshot directly there. Those that want to mirror *everything* I created a new rsync module, you can get it from stage.opensuse.org::opensuse-factory-snapshot This snapshot is where current 11.2 repository users are redirected to, so we see a lot of traffic to it at the moment. But as I can't guarantee that we won't need to rebuild 11.2 for whatever reason before release, I do not really recommend to mirror it. Once I'm sure 11.2 is final, it will move to /distribution/11.2/repo of course - we will open the repo earlier than the ISOs. BTW: I will move the remaining debug and source directories out of /distribution in preparation of 11.2 release. It's only interesting for those that mirror opensuse-full - all other rsync modules had it excluded anyway.

[suse-mirror] Saying Good Bye!
by Peter Poeml 26 Oct '09

26 Oct '09

Dear mirror admins, after 9 years with SUSE/Novell, nearly three of them dealing with the mirror ecosystem, I decided to leave the company. Thus, I'll no longer deal with openSUSE mirror issues in the future, and I would like to say good bye to you -- and thank you. I am pretty sure we will stay connected, not only through some of the other "big" mirror communities, but also here at openSUSE. I don't know yet what I'm up to (thinking about going back to my old profession, medicine), but I still have plans (and hopefully rainy leisure time) to continue furthering the MirrorBrain project (and I'll stay subscribed here). Since quite some time, I had a goal that I didn't mention here yet. I have always wanted to establish a forum for the purpose of discussing mirror issues that concern *not* only openSUSE. A mailing list exists, discuss(a)mirrorbrain.org, to serve as a "list that can be used to meet other mirror admins, as well as content providers - and share ideas, insights, and discuss how we want to use mirrors in the future." I strongly believe that the distribution of open source software through voluntary mirrors should be brought onto the next level, and as the first step I see creating a forum that is not bound to *one* project. (Neither to MirrorBrain or a single framework for distributing content.) Most of you will be subscribed to the mirror mailing lists of other content providers, and you might have noticed the same duplication of thoughts, work and effort, as I did. I never really found the time to push this idea much, but that's why I mention it now. I half-heartedly attempted to spread the idea with a talk on FOSDEM 2009 (which you could find archived/linked at http://mirrorbrain.org/presentations/) but there remains much to be said. I intended to approach you personally to invite you to the list, but for now I'll just let you know that you can subscribe by sending mail containing the word "subscribe" to discuss-request(a)mirrorbrain.org. So, thank you so much for all the work, for your continued, excellent (and for Open Source absolutely essential) contribution, and the professionalism that makes working with you so enjoyable. I learnt a lot. You are magnificent!

[suse-mirror] strange additions to 10.3
by carlos＠fisica.ufpr.br 26 Oct '09

26 Oct '09

Yesterday more than 11GB were added to distribution/10.3. This is strange for 2 reasons. First, it doesn't make sense to add to distribution, it should be added to update. Second, it's not worth adding so much to such an old release, particularly when 11.2 is so near. Is it some final adjustment after the changes in stage? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mirror+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: mirror+help(a)opensuse.org

[suse-mirror] rsync -H (--hard-links) option no longer refused
by Peter Poeml 11 Aug '09

11 Aug '09

Hi, in all rsync modules, I removed the restriction that caused -H (--hard-links) to be refused. This was done for both stage.opensuse.org and rsync.opensuse.org. We don't have hardlinks in the tree at this time. We have no concrete plan to use them yet. But it might be good later (there have been good suggestions about this in the past, e.g. for moving stuff around). You might want to add -H to the rsync arguments just in case. The reason why we didn't want to use -H in the past (save every single cpu cycle) seems obsolete, since we migrated stage.opensuse.org to more powerful hardware. I was never sure how many extra resources this feature really needed. (We use rsync v3 on both rsync servers.)

[suse-mirror] Cache-Control headers for metadata
by Peter Poeml 24 Jun '09

24 Jun '09

Hi, for all of you serving mirrored openSUSE content via HTTP, I have a little pointer which increases service quality for our users. The idea is to mark the metadata files with cache control headers that indicate that they are not served from an intermediary (proxy) cache without checking for freshness before. Add the following to your Apache config, outside of a directory context. mod_headers and mod_expires need to be loaded. <LocationMatch "\.(xml|xml\.gz|xml\.asc)"> Header set Cache-Control "must-revalidate" ExpiresActive On ExpiresDefault "now" </LocationMatch> This is (the essence of) what we use at download.opensuse.org since two years, and it makes sense to have this configuration on your mirrors for those occasional users who access mirrors directly. This greatly reduces the risk that users see inconsistencies (one file being served stale from the cache, another one served fresh from the origin server). And it doesn't sacrifice good cacheability. This is one of the reasons why HTTP is preferrable over FTP, because FTP has no means of cache control at all. The thing is that intermediaries, in default configuration, may keep content cached basically arbitrarily between 6 and 24 hours, if it doesn't come with directions about caching. Since we won't be able to rely on _all_ mirrors marking the content appropriately (and in few cases even FTP is used), we will still deliver such files directly instead of redirecting them; however, there'll always be users acessing mirrors directly, and they will benefit from the above configuration. Thanks!

Hi list, Early this year, Novell China helped a university for a 1.5T storage media, as a return the university set up an openSuSE mirror on this storage media.

[suse-mirror] openSUSE 10.2 nearing end of life
by Peter Poeml 17 Dec '08

17 Dec '08

Hi, just a quick note - I don't know if Coolo has already mentioned it: openSUSE 10.2 (http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.2/) will soon be removed from our staging server, since it is not maintained anymore. Whoever wants to keep it, should put a copy away now. Possibly add yourself to http://en.opensuse.org/Mirrors_Discontinued_Releases so that users can find it. Sorry, I can't tell you a date for the removal at the moment, but I thought I'd better write it now, before it is forgotten, over releasing 11.1 and Christmas. Thanks a lot, Peter -- Contact: admin(a)opensuse.org (a.k.a. ftpadmin(a)suse.com) #opensuse-mirrors on freenode.net Info: http://en.opensuse.org/Mirror_Infrastructure SUSE LINUX Products GmbH Research & Development

[suse-mirror] torrents, opening
by Peter Czanik 16 Dec '08

Hello, Two questions: - when will be the torrent files available? I already loaded the DVD images to a torrent server with gigabit uplink... - when will 11.1 be opened for the world?

That would be still OK at nic.funet.fi but in general the total amount needed during change and long term would be the things I and probably others would like to see. I suppose 10.3 would disappear at some point after 11.1 is out? I've also changed the rsync script now to take it directly from stage to /pub/mirrors/download.opensuse.org at 20:53 and 4:53 local time (UTC+2 now) and the rsync runs on a different account from the ftp and www servers. Also the older URLs still work. In the process the ppc got removed, I'm not sure if there was a great demand for it, but if needed I could consider taking it back later in a way that it doesn't clash with the other rsync...

[suse-mirror] factory debug
by Stephan Kulow 01 Dec '08

01 Dec '08

Hi, I mentioned it in the RC1 thread, but wanted to say it explicitly: Currently /factory is disabled, but the next sync will split the debug repo into /debug/factory/oss (moved from /factory/repo/debug the debug repo is very large and is needed only by a small portion of users, so it's ok if this is mirrored only by very few mirrors. We'll very likely only enable the factory repos only after or during the weekend.

[suse-mirror] openSUSE 11.1 RC1
by Stephan Kulow 27 Nov '08

27 Nov '08

Hi, I swear I wrote an announcement last week, but I can't find it atm, so I have to assume something went majorly wrong. Anyway: I put the 11.1 repo (which is different to factory repo) on /distribution/11.1-RC1/repo _today_ - this is not the final 11.1-RC1, but it differs only in ~100 packages from it. I will remove this before syncing out the final 11.1 repos, but we noticed several problems with 11.0 network installations too late due to the repos not being available enough - and having a snapshot only on widehat appeared not to be good enough - so my decision. Let's see how it works out. I meant to give you an early warning about the additional space, but as I said: no idea why the mail didn't go out ;( Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mirror+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: mirror+help(a)opensuse.org

[suse-mirror] New rsync module, with Beta DVDs added
by Peter Poeml 12 Nov '08

12 Nov '08

Hi, there is a new module called opensuse-full-with-factory-dvd5 which is a clone of opensuse-full-with-factory with an addition: It'll have Alpha and Beta DVD images, which are, by nature, large and relatively short-lived (weeks). Those images where previously distributed out-of-tree, in a separate rsync module, and it was difficult to find them. To simplify distributing them, and to make them easier to find (and download) for our users, we'll have them in-tree in the future. All *existing* rsync modules have them excluded though - so you don't *need* to worry about the change. But if you have additional space to contribute, consider switching to the opensuse-full-with-factory-dvd5 module. With the next beta (which should appear today), it should get about 10G additional content. Over time, this can grow to about +30G - assuming that about 3 Betas accumulate. Current sizes are: http://www.poeml.de/~poeml/rsyncinfo-stage.o.o.txt Thanks!
