Thanks.  I’ll give this to the ops team.

As a quick followup to this, we’ve removed all the mirrors in the
mirror list that no longer resolve.  Yes, it took us longer than it
should have to realize that this needed to be done, but it’s now done.

Further improvements should continue in the coming days.

Not entirely true for my 6am pull:

But OTOH, I don't think I've had a total failure in about 36 hours now.

So it has improved.  Thank you Joel.

ClamAV Community —

For too long we’ve had a problem with mirrors and downloads.  There
are a bunch of really good excuses for this internally, but I can
comfortably say that we are beyond the problems we had in the past,
and now it’s time for us to go fix it.

As of Friday, I assumed control (From a Project Owner point of view, I
don’t directly control the mirrors), over the ClamAV Mirror
infrastructure and am taking steps to clean this up.

(Internally we break ClamAV down into a bunch of pieces, a little
“inside baseball” for you, but we have the development team, them
mirror project, the signature interface (where all signatures are
written, tested, and published), the malware team.  All of these
responsibilities are spread amongst several groups within
Talos<https://www.talosintelligence.com> (who owns ClamAV inside of
Cisco, amongst many other things).)

I have called a meeting with our ClamAV team, both from my team (the
Open Source Team), the mirror team (operations), and the PM for
Development on Thursday.  My plan is to outline an immediate “fix”
trajectory.   What is working, what isn’t working, immediate fixes,
and finally suggestions for moving forward.

Please continue to bear with us a little while longer.  They always
say things get worse before they get better.  Right now, hopefully, we
are at the “worst” stage.
