Do you mean the problem comes from the main site which makes it difficult to mirror automatically? I've heard of the programme called 'mirror' and it seems that the programme reads a site like a normal client (or is it another programme?) Have you tried 'mirror' to see if it works? Seak

IMO, it's not enough just to expand mirror sites list, but maintainence is also important. You see, right now there're 3 mirror sites. That one in Mexico is inaccessible, and the other two in Norway and Italy are totally out of dates (more than half a year late). I've reported the problem of the mirror in Italy several months ago, but it's never corrected. Adding mirror sites without proper maintainence would just give the impression of anarchy. Seak

I'm sure I sent that to the mailing list during the same discussion. Do we have instructions setup for web mirroring? I think Alejandro said he was using rdist? Hmmm... When I eventually get this draft "New LyX Stable-Development Series" PR done we could include a line or three asking for web and anon-cvs mirror offers. Allan. (ARRae)

Great idea! Well, if 1.0 isn't going out today, then a really great time to do this would be *right now*, before 1.0 does go out. And if there's any administrative work involved, someone who can't fix bugs, write remaining docs, etc. would be just perfect to do it. Did anyone think to make a list of the sites that offered to create mirrors for us or do we need to search through the archives? I assume most of these places have mirrored lots of sites and it will be very simple to have them mirror one more place. It would be nice eventually to alias them to us.lyx.org and stuff, but that's less important to start with. Our first priority is just to allow lots of hits on the off chance that a lot of people read the press releases and decide to try it out. It couldn't hurt to mirror the lyx source and/or binaries too, if there's enough space at the mirror sites. -Amir
