[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] /repositories/openSUSE:/11.2/
by Stephan Kulow 26 Oct '09

26 Oct '09

Hi, As 11.2 is split from factory development, I had to put the 11.2 files somewhere, so I went for above URL. This is only a temporary solution as long as 11.2 is still changing. Once it's fixed, it will end up in distribution/11.2 as usual. RC2 is announced this week btw.

The above dirs are empty at stage. Is this correct? I've just aborted the removal of about 67,000 files... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mirror+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: mirror+help(a)opensuse.org
