I know about this. But the fact that mirrors doesn't use the same
layout, or the same rsync names etc. is a problem that must be solved!

2000-09-30 Thread Michael Irving

The big problem with sunsite.uio.no and ftp.sunet.se is due to a little
product called redhat. They are blowing sunet's bandwidth to hell (even if
it is probably one of the sites in the world with the highest bandwidth).

Where you have discovered the way to use
rsync.proxad.net/mandrake-devel ???
I have not found "readme" or other files on proxad.net about rsync.

This is another confirmation that the mirrors are not in "sync" :-)))

sunsite.uio.no and ftp.sunet.se uses /Mandrake-devel ( but ftp.sunet.se
without rsync store the files in mandrake-devel and not Mandrake_... )

I'd be more than willing to work on these things.  The mirroring issues are
annoying as is to me.  I sent an email with a suggestion to someone Vincent
recommended a while back and I never heard back.  So I don't know what to tell
you.

For those of us on the other side of the atlantic there are no decent mirrors
over here.  rpmfind seems to always be lagging behind.  Which leaves us with
the european mirrors.

I think Mandrake has hit some more growing pains
(actually, I think they've been facing them for
a while now).

As Mandrake is a small Linux company (but a
hugely successful distro), they don't have the
money for multiple/redundant high-speed
connections for distribution purposes, and
therefore depend on the kindness of mirrors to
pick up the workload.  I see *nothing* wrong with
this, I think it is a perfect example of
businesses, schools, individual users, and ISPs
working with, and for, the Linux community.

--

I think Mandrake's current problem is with
co-ordination of the mirrors.  I outline a number
of possible changes below:


(1.)
There appears to be no standard when it comes to
mirroring hierarchy.  Now, I know that each
mirror does things a little different, but there
needs to be some type of basic Mandrake base
hierarchy that should be followed.  There's a
number of separate Mandrake trees that need to be
considered, and some organizational thought put
into them.  Below is something that is very
similar to what already exists, and what some
mirrors already do, but not all, and it should
therefore be made a rule.  The number of versions
that a mirror actuallly mirrors is up to them, I
just listed a few versions to make this e-mail
longer than it needed to be:

Mandrake/
 - current/ -> 7.1/
 - 6.1/
   - i386/
   - alpha/
   - sparc/
   - ISO/
 - 7.0/
   - i386
   - alpha/
   - sparc/
   - ISO/
 - 7.1/
   - i386
   - alpha/
   - sparc/
   - ISO/

Mandrake-devel/
 - 7.2 beta/
   - i386
   - alpha/
   - sparc/
   - ISO/
 - Cooker

Mandrake-updates/
 - current/ -> 7.1/
 - 6.1/
   - i386
   - alpha/
   - sparc/
 - 7.0/
   - i386
   - alpha/
   - sparc/
 - 7.1/
   - i386
   - alpha/
   - sparc/

(Most mirrors could/would/should/may create an
upper-level Mandrake directory to house all these
trees.)

I've left of Mandrake-crypto, as I feel it's
going to disappear soon, am I correct?  If not,
it should follow the same tree structure as
Mandrake-updates.

Notice how all of the above flow exactly the same
(what a concept, flow!)?  Easy to follow, easy to
mirror.  From site to site, this hierarchy (1)
makes sense, and (2) makes it easy to tell where
things are going to be.  This makes writing
rsync scripts a lot easier, too.



(2.)
Next, a minimum refresh (rsync) time needs to be
implemented and enforced.  Daily,
every-other-day, whatever.  Something needs to be
set in stone so that we aren't faced with mirrors
who are way behind on the times.  Being an
official Mandrake mirror is a privilage, not a
right.  If you're offering Mandrake some space
and bandwidth for a mirror, you have the
responsibility of making sure its not being
wasted on out-of-date content.  This kinda goes
with the item below.


(3.)
Lastly, a mirror co-ordinator needs to be
appointed, and given the time to do his job, and
do it right.  I must say that Mandrake made an
excellent move when they appointed Vincent Danen
the security guy.  IMHO, Mandrake has gone from
last to first in security response.  Can they do
the same for distribution/mirroring?

This person needs to be in constant contact with
all the mirrors, notified of planned outages at
the mirrors, and needs to be in charge of keeping
the mirror list up to date.

A change also needs to be made to this list, to
reflect a lot more information.  For example, Red
Hat's mirror list shows which mirrors provide
which architectures.  What's even better is a 
list that shows both which architectures are
available, as well as which mirrors offer ISO
images.  Something like this (imagine it's in
HTML)(Warning, bad ASCII art follows):
___

|Primary| Site|ISO|Alpha|Intel|Sparc|Devel|

What's the use of a mirror if the reflection it provides is distorted?

Maybe it's time to dig through the (rather large) list of mirrors and
weed out the ones that are not "up to standard". I use the the
sunsite.uio.no mirror, although this week it's been unreachable. I find
that other mirrors often have issues: 
- file permisions that change (often the exec bit is stripped);
- old;
- incomplete.

For distributing the stable distribution I agree that a large list of
mirrors is needed. The content on these mirrors doesn't change that much
(security updates) and only a large event takes a lot of BW (release of
a new product).

Maybe it's possible to put up some quality criteria to which a mirror
must conform if it wants to carry the cooker distro? A larger list of
primary mirrors might also help.

The site is busy :-( I think because RedHat 7 is out...
Same thing on ftp.linux.tucows.com.

ftp.sunet.se works well and the speed is very good... but the update
is slow and some old files are on the site.
( they does not have, for now, RedHat 7 )

The flag "update_in_progress" is not more present...

For me the best speed is on ftp.proxad.net, but the updates coming
very slow! 2nd: this site does not allow to "recurse" dir and fmirror
does not work.

You can make a script containing multiple fmirror command string
pointing to single dirs:
/cooker/boot
/cooker/dosutils
/cooker/lnx4win  :-

There was some mail in Cooker that sunet.se is Primary mirror for RedHat as 
well, and 'cause of 7.0 release lot of people download it.
may be, Mandrake can select some other ftp server as primary mirror?
(but, I was able to log in to sunet.se. Problem that KDE2 was missing in 
Cooker)
And, it's still unclear for me why RPMFIND was not working.

[Cooker] ftp.sunet.se - what's wrong?

2000-09-27 Thread Vadim Plessky


I checked this night ftp.sunet.se, and found that 
1) KDE2 files (kdebase, support, etc.) are not presented ftp.sunet.se
QT 2.2 looks like disappeared as well. 
2) some KDE2-i18n files which are available, and KDEgames-1.94-xx are dated 
by September 22

And, I was not able to get into RPMFIND, mirror which I used before 
ftp.sunet.se.

Can somebody let us know what is happening?
