Bug 184890 – syslog-ng-2.0.3 not available on all mirrors

• Product: Mirrors
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Eric Herot 2007-07-10 19:30:31 UTC]

Tried to download syslog-ng-2.0.3 from mirror.datapipe.net and received a 404 error.  Portage also tried to download it directly from www.belabit.com (syslog-ng's home site) but the URL was wrong (missing /files/)

Here's the output:

Here's where I did it manually, and that seemed to work fine:

There's no 2.0.3 in the tree any more. (Plus, the above are not Gentoo mirrors so nothing we could do there).

[Comment 2 Eric Herot 2007-07-10 20:19:18 UTC]

It seems my local mirror had stopped syncing against the gentoo rsync mirrors.

Incidentally...

Not sure what is meant by "not Gentoo mirrors" since it *is* listed on

http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/mirrors.xml

under "Datapipe Managed Hosting (USA/http)"
