Hello, 11 of 25 mirrors in the 'nongnu' mirror group in profiles/thirdpartymirrors file are no longer valid mirrors. These were checked as part of an analysis of all third party mirror lists. The dead mirrors should probably be removed, and there may be a more up to date mirror list upstream that can be used. Here is a status of all 'nongnu' mirrors: good: http://download.savannah.nongnu.org/releases-noredirect/ good: http://ftp.cc.uoc.gr/mirrors/nongnu.org/ good: http://ftp.twaren.net/Unix/NonGNU/ bad: http://mirror.cinquix.com/pub/savannah/ bad: ftp://mirror.cinquix.com/pub/savannah/ good: http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/nongnu/ good: ftp://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/nongnu/ good: http://mirrors.fe.up.pt/pub/nongnu/ good: ftp://mirrors.fe.up.pt/pub/nongnu/ bad: http://mirrors.igsobe.com/nongnu/ bad: ftp://mirrors.igsobe.com/nongnu/ bad: http://mirror.its.uidaho.edu/pub/savannah/ bad: ftp://mirror.its.uidaho.edu/savannah/ bad: http://mirrors.openfountain.cl/savannah/ good: http://mirrors.zerg.biz/nongnu/ good: http://nongnu.askapache.com/ bad: http://nongnu.mirror.ironie.org/releases/ bad: ftp://ftp.ironie.org/savannah.nongnu.org/releases/ good: http://nongnu.uib.no/ good: ftp://nongnu.uib.no/pub/nongnu/ good: http://savannah.c3sl.ufpr.br/ good: ftp://savannah.c3sl.ufpr.br/savannah-nongnu/ bad: http://www.very-clever.com/download/nongnu/ good: ftp://ftp.twaren.net/Unix/NonGNU/ bad: http://mirrors.aixtools.net/sv/ Thanks!
Created attachment 367218 [details, diff] nongnu-mirror-cleanup.patch Upstream's mirror list is here: http://download-mirror.savannah.nongnu.org/releases/00_MIRRORS.txt I've tested this list and it's mostly good but the following mirrors fail: http://mirrors.openfountain.cl/savannah/ http://mirror.veriportal.com/savannah/ ftp://spinellicreations.com/gnu_dot_org_savannah_mirror/ ftp://mirror.yongbok.net/nongnu/ http://mirror.yongbok.net/nongnu/ Attached is a patch which replaces the old mirror list with a new one, based on upstream's list but with the above bad mirrors removed.
