We've setup a full mirror and wanted to open it up to the gentoo community. http://gentoo.gossamerhost.com rsync gentoo.gossamerhost.com:: I've also emailed mirror-admin@gentoo.org as per the rsync policy page.
Hello Nathan, Thanks for being patient as I work through the backlog :) Can you please provide the following info: * Official mirror name * Mirror type: distfiles/releases, gentoo-portage. NOTE: gentoo-portage is always rsync only. Some mirrors may have rsync for distfiles as well. Do not be confused by the difference! * URLs: full protocol and path for release/distfile mirrors, hostname or IP for gentoo-portage mirrors * Hardware specifications * Bandwidth specifications * Location * Intended concurrent users (for each protocol, mirror type) * Admin contact name and email address (This address should be registered in bugzilla so we can CC you to any bug reports) Also, the rsync module has to be "gentoo-portage" instead of "public-gentoo-portage"
Not a problem, no rush on this :) Official mirror name: Gossamer Threads Mirror type: full mirror & portage URLs: Portage: rsync gentoo.gossamerhost.com::gentoo-portage Distfiles: rsync gentoo.gossamerhost.com::gentoo-distfiles and http://gentoo.gossamerhost.com/ Hardware specifications: 2xAthlon 2800, 2.5gb ram, 15k scsi drives Bandwidth specifications: 100mbit Location: Vancouver, BC Intended concurrent users: Unknown =) Admin contact name: Can it just be a generic 'Gossamer Threads'? I've registered a bugzilla under mirrors@gossamer-threads.com. If you need a specific name then use "Alex Krohn".

If you need a > specific name then use "Alex Krohn". Nope, "Gossamer mirror admin" with that email is great (as long as it goes to some humans somewhere). I think Alex might complain at more mail otherwise ;-). I've added that account to this bug, so you should see mails to it. Thanks Nathan!

Looks like a temp problem. Started update at Fri Feb 26 16:00:01 PST 2010 rsync: getaddrinfo: ftp.ussg.iu.edu 873: Temporary failure in name resolution rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(124) [receiver=3.0.6] End: Fri Feb 26 16:00:04 PST 2010 We were syncing off this mirror and dns failed for a while. It seems to be back and we are back in sync.
Yup, I can confirm that everything looks like its back in sync. Thanks for the quick reply.
