Hi everyone,
the attached mail just went out to our mirror admins. In case you are
mirroring ftp.openSUSE.org and didn't get this email, contact me off-list.
Thanks,
Christoph

Subject: [suse-mirror] download.openSUSE.org mirrors
Dear mirror-admins,
as you might know, we have been promoting download.openSUSE.org as our
central "download redirector" for openSUSE.org. Over the last year or so,
the infrastrcuture behind download.openSUSE.org has been improved
significantly. With the current setup we are now able to handle hunders of
mirrors from all over the world. If you are interested in a more detailed
description of the download redirector and the logic behind it, refer to
http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/Redirector
I'm contacting you today, to help me review the list of mirrors, which are
currently being used by download.openSUSE.org. Please have a look at the
attached mirrors.txt [1], to figure out if your mirror is listed. In case
you are mirroring ftp.openSUSE.org and can't find your mirror in
mirrors.txt, contact me off-list, so I can add you to the database!
Here are some addition thoughts:
- Please consider offering the mirrored files through HTTP, in case you
aren't doing so already. (We only redirect to HTTP mirrors!)
- If large file support (>2G) doesn't work on your HTTP server, please let
us know
- Keep the directory structure intact, so it is identical to the structure
found below ftp.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/. Otherwise we can't redirect
to it.
Thanks,
Christoph
[1] In case you are wondering what scan_speed stands for: It's the number of
files the scanner (our crawler) was able to scan per second.
