-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
luckily, also younger ones can answer this :-) I had a look at the TER magic more than a year ago, when typo3.org was relaunched (and the problem with the mirrors forgotten/ignored/whatever). As described, it works by rsync transfers initiated by the mirror servers. And we had the plan to have a ter.typo3.org that will be the new server hosting the TER and maybe even allowing others to just sync from it. Unfortunately, until now everything is very tightly coupled with the typo3.org web site. As the mirrors are not used with the 6.0 EM (correct my if I'm wrong), nobody (at least me) had the motivation to pick up that topic. The really bad thing is that the mirrors don't sync from the new typo3.org server, they really still sync from the old one. One reason is that we would have to contact the mirror admins to change the host name (they all use a .t3o.punkt.de host name) and accept the new SSH key and so on. That (unfortunately) still hasn't happened, from my side because I very much think the that implemented concept is bad. Especially when it comes to download counter, it's horrible (there's a script that was only active on the old typo3.org server that goes through the access log every night and reports the download stats via a SOAP request). With things like composer integration coming sooner or later, I agree that the whole concept has to be rethought. So I agree with André that things should better be implemented differently. But I'm really not sure, what a good solution would be (just use a CDN?) and what the plans from developer's perspective are (probably composer..).
