Hi, thanks for your offer to become an official Gentoo mirror.  We need the following information so we can begin processing this and put it into our testing system:

    * 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)

Thanks.  I have put your mirror into our testing system so we can observe it for the next 2 weeks.  After that, we will put it into the official rotation.  Please make sure you have read http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/source_mirrors.xml so you are sure your mirror is set up according to our policies.

Distfiles at http://archive.mmu.edu.my/gentoo is lagging (delta is 00d 06h 40m 25s)

Are you syncing every 4 hours from ftp.ussg.iu.edu::gentoo-distfiles?  Have you had problems connecting?

[Comment 6 Fabian Chong 2010-03-12 01:35:59 UTC]

Our NREN network is at 2mbps only.So it's slow to sync from ftp.ussg.iu.edu
We are syncing with rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/gentoo/ at 6 hours interval.I'll modify it to 4 hours.

Thanks for helping out Gentoo. I have added your mirror to our list at http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/mirrors2.xml. Please start syncing from masterdistfiles.gentoo.org as the email I have sent to you instructs. We would like you to subscribe to the gentoo-mirrors Mailing List by sending an email to [e-mail], as we send out notifications of updates, releases, and changes in policy to the mirrors. Please also monitor http://mirrorstats.gentoo.org as this application is used to keep track of the up-to-date nature of our mirrors. Thanks for the hardware and bandwidth!
