The Laboratório de Computação Científica (Laboratory of Scientific Computing) of Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (Federal University of Minas Gerais) is very happy to announcing the release of two Gentoo mirrors: a portage one and a distfiles one in conformity with Gentoo's Linux Source Mirror Policy (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/source_mirrors.xml). We would like to become an official mirror and ask for help in this sense. The mirrors can be accessed via rsync://gentoo.lcc.ufmg.br::gentoo-portage and rsync://gentoo.lcc.ufmg.br::gentoo-sources These mirrors are located in Brazil. Thanks in advance. Reproducible: Always
Very cool. Could you please just give us all of the information below for completeness's sake: * Official mirror name (preferably not your hostname, but the name of your organization) * 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 (transfer speed, eg 100Mbit, and any limits you may have) * 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)
Official mirror name: Laboratório de Computação Científica - UFMG Mirror type: distfiles/releases and gentoo-portage URLs: http://gentoo.lcc.ufmg.br rsync://gentoo.lcc.ufmg.br Hardware: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7400 @ 2.80GHz, 4GB DDR2 RAM Bandwidth: Download Speed: 1352 kbps / Upload Speed: 1674 kbps Location: city:Belo Horizonte; state: Minas Gerais; country: Brazil Concurrent users: we planning to start with 15 and grow it if we feel it does not compromise our network. Admin: Daniel Angelo Avelino <daavelino@gmail.com> About concurrent users, there is an standard for that. I ask because we can plan better and put our mirror into it. Thanks
I have added you into our testing system so we can monitor the mirror for the next 2 weeks. If everything looks good, we'll add you to the official rotations. Please make sure you comply with everything we have documented at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/source_mirrors.xml and http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/rsync.xml Thanks, Mark
Ok, I hope everythings run ok. Thanks again.

I will study the possibility to put this host into a gigabit network. I will post my results here soon. > > About concurrent users, there is an standard for that.

It is already changed. 30 concurrent users connections. Thanks for the explanation.
It looks lke your gentoo-portage mirror is lagging: Portage at rsync://gentoo.lcc.ufmg.br is lagging (delta is 00d 03h 55m 58s) How often, and when, are you syncing it?
Hi Mark, I'm syncing everyday in an interval of 30 minutes, via cron daemon. # Syncing portage mirror: 5,35 * * * * /etc/gentoo-rsync/rsync-gentoo-portage.sh It is strange this lag. In my logs, everything looks ok. Could you perform this check once again? Thanks. Thanks.
Still lagging: Portage at rsync://gentoo.lcc.ufmg.br is lagging (delta is 00d 04h 43m 01s) What mirror are you syncing against?
rsync://rsync.de.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage The script is that: #!/bin/bash RSYNC="/usr/bin/rsync" OPTS="--quiet --recursive --links --perms --times -D --delete --timeout=300" #Uncomment the following line only if you have been granted access to rsync1.us.gentoo.org #SRC="rsync://rsync1.us.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" #If you are waiting for access to our master mirror, select one of our mirrors to mirror from: SRC="rsync://rsync.de.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" DST="/gentoo-portage-mirror/" echo "Started update at" `date` >> $0.log 2>&1 logger -t rsync "re-rsyncing the gentoo-portage tree" ${RSYNC} ${OPTS} ${SRC} ${DST} >> $0.log 2>&1 echo "End: "`date` >> $0.log 2>&1
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 gentoo-mirrors+subscribe@lists.gentoo.org, 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. I have added the IP you specified in the bug to our access database, please start syncing to rsync1.us.gentoo.org per our rsync document at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/rsync.xml. We would like you to subscribe to the gentoo-mirrors Mailing List by sending an email to gentoo-mirrors+subscribe@lists.gentoo.org, as we send our notifications of updates, releases, and changes in policy to the mirrors. Once again, thanks for the hardware and bandwidth! Please also monitor http://mirrorstats.gentoo.org/rsync as this application is used to keep track of the up-to-date nature of our mirrors. You are mirror rsync2.br.gentoo.org in the rsync.br.gentoo.org rotation and have been added to the rsync.samerica.gentoo.org rotation as well.
Hi Mark. I'm very proud to know that. I yet did not received the email so, could you resend it to daavelino@gmail.com? Thanks once again. (In reply to comment #11) > Thanks for helping out Gentoo.
