RE: [PHP-DEV] Retiring PHP's Mirror Program
Hi, I've just pushed the changes to the PHP website live, and fixed the apache config on php-web3, as it still had "php.net" as ServerName and "www.php.net" as ServerAlias — I did commit that to the local GIT repo. Things seem to look fine, so are you OK with my switching away DNS from the mirrors in the mid-afternoon (15:00 BST)? cheers, Derick On Thu, 28 Mar 2019, Sascha Schumann wrote: > > So I guess we (I) need to modify that script to not CNAME these to the > > respective mirrors, but instead to star-php-net.ax4z.com. instead?

There is a nl1 record in our zone that we generate from our master database with the /local/systems/maintain-master-dns.php script on master.php.net This puts the /local/mirrors/php-master-web/fetch/php.net.zone on the master.php.net filesystem: … nl IN A 94.142.242.175 nl1.php.net.

RE: [PHP-DEV] Retiring PHP's Mirror Program
Hi, The plan is to start rolling this out somewhere in the next two weeks, pending solving the problem of not 404ing the xx.php.net URLs. What I would like to do is, to 301 redirect these to the canonical URLs so that search indexes etc can get updated over time. But, I don't quite know where to host that service. Turning off the mirror scripts etc is going to be trivial to do, and our CDN is already set-up to do php.net and www.php.net (but doesn't get the later traffic yet). I think we want to scale down our mirroring infrastructure alltogether, although I see a use for companies being able to run internal mirrors.

Any update on this? One commonly requested feature on the downloads page can be implemented once the mirrors are gone, which is to directly link to to the file (instead of a Choose a Mirror page).

[PHP-DEV] Retiring PHP's Mirror Program
Hi! The PHP.net website has in the last 20 years made use of an extensive network of mirrors_ to make the PHP documentation available, and distribute source tarballs_. These mirrors have been maintained by members and companies in the PHP eco-system for many valuable years. However, the administration of the mirror system is often haphazard, with few contributors helping out—PHP is Open Source, and this is simply how these things can go. Maintaining the mirrors is now no longer sustainable, and also hinders the take up of moving the PHP.net website fully to HTTPS. Because the PHP.net team has no access to the mirror servers, we also can't make sure the mirrors are up-to-date, and some mirrors are still running PHP 5.3 (actually, about 25% still run PHP 5.3!). It is likely no longer necessary to have a mirror system in place, as unlike 20 years ago, it is not nearly has hard as setting up a distributed cache system. As a matter of fact, some of the PHP.net web site, through http://www.php.net/, already sits behind a Content Delivery Network (CDN) from Myra_, which is sponsored by long time PHP contributor Sascha Schumann. With these preliminaries out of the way, I would therefore like to announce the discontinuation of PHP.net's mirroring program. Instead of having mirrors, we are moving all of PHP.net to HTTPS (and get rid of https://secure.php.net), and move them behind Myra's CDN, with the same local content delivery opportunities, but at significantly less administration requirements. In the next week or so, I will e-mail out a plan on which steps are necessary for this move. I'd be happy to hear any comments on when the plan comes out. To end this email, I would very much like to thank all the mirror maintainers for their dedication, time, and bandwidth over all these years. Thanks! cheers, Derick .. _mirrors: http://php.net/mirrors.php .. _tarballs: http://uk3.php.net/downloads.php .. _Myra: https://myracloud.com/en/ -- https://derickrethans.nl | https://xdebug.org | https://dram.io Like Xdebug?
