Hi, I do plan to start to setup the mirror infrastructure this week, even some part will be temporary. Here the plan for comment and review.
1) Seting up rsync.mageia.org We don't have yet the server installed and ready (the sys admin is still working on this and I guess they will do a good work. So I'll setup somewhere a basic and mostly empty tree with some reference files. Over the tree I'll setup an rsync share, access restricted by IP (eg the tree must accessible only by Tier1 mirrors). 2) Mirrors list I'll setup the promise web application (probably on distrib-coffee at time) + an svn read-only access to the code. The application is still limited, not beautifull but it can do the job of registering mirrors properly. 3) Our First Tier1 (distrib-coffee) Can be done only when rsync.mageia.org is setup (even temporary), I'll fully setup distrib-coffee to provide the full mageia tree. When this step will be done: - we'll be able to distribute small file massivelly if need - I'll be able to provide an alive mirror tree, so we'll can discuss the tree strucure - anyone wanting to do its own mirror will be able 'pre' setup it over this first Tier1 and registering it on the web application - we'll have a real testing mirror structure. BTW: finding other Tier1 mirrors is still in progress. 4) Documentation During the setup I'll write a documentation about how to properly do a Mageia Mirror. This documentation will be addressed to anyone wanting to do a _public_ mirror with the rules to have officially validated. I suggest having this documentation as text file at the top of mirror tree. This make faster to find as the first thing a mirror admin look is the mirror tree. This does not deny to reference it on Wiki. Once each step is done I'll send mail with the progress and all informations you can need to give feedback. About the mirror directories structure: I'll start another thread for this subject, so please be patient. Do you have comment or proposal about this process ? -- Olivier Thauvin CNRS - LATMOS ♖ ♘ ♗ ♕ ♔ ♗ ♘ ♖
