Description Yang Yang 2011-06-07 17:51:02 UTC
Hello,I am one of Student Network Administrators in Tsinghua University in China.We wish to add our mirrors to the list of official mirrors.We have following mirrors:
http://ftp3.tsinghua.edu.cn/gentoo
ftp://ftp3.tsinghua.edu.cn/gentoo
rsync://ftp3.tsinghua.edu.cn/gentoo-portage
We would like our mirror to be a full mirror.

Our university is the backbone node of education network in China,so people in education network can access our mirror easily and at a very high speed.
Moreover students in our university have network bandwidth limit,so all the gentoo user in our university use our mirror.
Thanks.


Reproducible: Always

Hello. On behalf of the mirror-admin team, I want to apologize for not getting back to your bug report. At this time, we are closing ALL new mirror request bugs.

The Gentoo Linux Infrastructure team and the mirror-admin team have found that a plethora of community mirrors exist and adding more requires an exponential amount time from us then we have available. As such, this becomes a more poor user experience than desired because the team cannot keep up. The Gentoo Linux project is not contrained in hardware resources and does not need anymore mirrors (even if your request is for a country that is not represented currently).

Thanks for understanding and thank you for your interest.
With regards,
Jeremy
