[suse-mirror] 11.4 timeline

07 Mar '11

Hi, I just uploaded the nonoss addon and the DVDs and I made the 11.4/repo/ directory public, so this part spreads already all over the world. The next thing to open up are the torrents, I guess we will start seeding late tomorrow, you're welcome to seed too - the tracker is up. The bit flip is done at 2pm CET (Z1300), it would be great if you can open up some minutes before that, so that we can do a mirror scan right after flipping and get a good load.

Yes, but OpenSUSE still seems to lack a part of "good cooperating" (actively helping) community. At least some publication projects seem to need more people - the base, the kernel and also the distribution developers are excellently populated, I guess. At least to the later aspect: SUSE kernels (SLES kernels) are the "best maintained" worldwide, I guess (besides some bugzilla entries currently from my side, but I know from experience what I said - the "quality production" process and, maybe even more important, the conciousness about that is greatest worldwide at SUSE, I guess). > I'd like to thank especially Coolo who drove as release manager the > creation of 11.4 until he became ill.

My main interest is to get the code into ftp5.gwdg.de, second interest to try it personally, third to distribute. If everything is done, why not distribute immediately? With RC2, we had a deletion and renewal of all already distributed files while the directories still were not opened. Please start that again just now. The "open distribution directories now" signal would be a totally separate thingy for the mirrors, main thing is to get the files just-in-time and distribute internally - many of us mirrors will struggle to deny the need of your very costly Akamai helpout for the first hours, so please honorate "our" struggle to engage all secondary ressorces just-in-time. We like to give our best and help you this time (first time!) to get able to dismiss the costly Akamai distribution bandwidth, but most german mirrors - your main base, but all willing others too - need some preparation time before your final release signal. So, please let the code come out just now.

[suse-mirror] RFC: to akamai nor not?
by Stephan Kulow 28 Feb '11

28 Feb '11

Hi, We always used akamai the first hours after release, but it's not only very complex to maintain, it was also said that it is not needed and might even harm. So I would like to know if you think we can do without for 11.4 Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mirror+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: mirror+help(a)opensuse.org

[suse-mirror] 11.4-RC2
by Stephan Kulow 24 Feb '11

24 Feb '11

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.

[suse-mirror] Accessing stage.opensuse.org
by LKD FTP 26 Oct '10

26 Oct '10

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? Did the sync source server change ?
