Re: [arch-general] Syncing the mirrors
Hi, PS: A mailinglist for mirror stuff (like this discussion) with all mirror admins would also be quite nice. As a mirror admin (mirrors.rit.edu) , I second that request, although perhaps one low traffic list (mandatory script updates, bulletins, etc) and one for discussions? Or perhaps some other scheme entirely. +1 from me. mirror-announce and mirror-discussion? Also a mailing list would be a lot faster than the bug-tracker to for example let archlinux.org know if you plan to change hostname/IP/directory-structure etc as it looks like the mailing-list gets read more frequently than the bug-tracker. regards, Hannes (mirror.selfnet.de/ftp.wh-stuttgart.net) -- Hannes Rist ++ | Crew Selfnet e.V.NOC: ad...@selfnet.de | | Allmandring 8A http://www.selfnet.de | | 70569 Stuttgart Fax: +49 711 620 4796 | ++ signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Re: [arch-general] Syncing the mirrors
Hi, > There are several methods to improve the situation: > * multi tier mirroring. Roman started to work on this but might need some help > here. It's mostly an organizing task I strongly second that. Having a geographically organized hierarchy would be nice, so that there are tier-1 mirrors in every country (of course not if there are for example only two mirrors/country those could sync from the geographically closest tier-1 mirror), those being machines with a somewhat reasonable connection, and then have the mirrors sync from those machines and only the tier-1 (mirror.us,mirror.eu,mirror.de and the like) sync from rsync.archlinux.org and all others sync from those. As Pierre pointed out this is mostly an organizational problem as in selecting the tier-1 mirrors and asking the owners if they're going to support this plan. Eg for the tier-1 mirrors we could ask the guys from kernel.org for the main us and eu mirrors, and for eg germany ask the owner of ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de or maybe Hosteurope. I don't know the situation in countries != de, but IIRC we have a lot of mirrors here. > * Add support for using both gz and xz compressed packages to db-scripts. > This way we could migrate to the way better xz compression and reduce > traffic: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/17280 I don't know much about the package-system but if theres a 25% decrease in package size this sounds like one would like to have this anway. Just my 2 cents on this topic. regards, Hannes 'hrist' Rist -- Hannes Rist ++ | Crew Selfnet e.V.NOC: ad...@selfnet.de | | Allmandring 8A http://www.selfnet.de | | 70569 Stuttgart Fax: +49 711 620 4796 | ++
