Bug 20427 – New U.S. source mirror at gentoo.seren.com

• Product: Mirrors
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Dan Stephans II 2003-05-04 11:13:55 UTC]

rsync from ibiblio finally completed and server is now sync'ing to ibiblio every
4 hours offset +5 from CDT (corresponding to 0,4,8,12,16,20 UTC)

currently access is only available via rsync, http and ftp access will be added
as time permits.

[Comment 1 Dan Stephans II 2003-05-04 18:01:53 UTC]

HTTP access is enabled so mirror access via portage now functions correctly.  The address is http://gentoo.seren.com/gentoo/

Mirror should be ready for prime time.

[Comment 2 Dan Stephans II 2003-05-04 18:08:53 UTC]

just noticed I didn't put in _how_ it was available via rsync --

rsync://gentoo.seren.com/gentoo

[Comment 3 Robin Johnson 2003-05-04 23:00:25 UTC]

your HTTP link seems to be b0rked.
I get a 403 forbidden on it.

[Comment 4 Dan Stephans II 2003-05-04 23:06:48 UTC]

It was borked -- it is fine now.

[Comment 5 Dan Stephans II 2003-05-04 23:31:00 UTC]

just a note: I only had indexing turned off on directories (which I may turn off on distfiles and gentoo-sources again), setting http://gentoo.seren.com/gentoo as a mirror in make.conf worked fine.

I've turned indexing on for the time being -- there was nothing in the mirror setup that specified what to do one way or another. =)  I figured if it provided sources via http all was well. =)

Indexing is important for releases/experimental, but not for distfiles.

We should probably note that in the doc.. Kurt?

[Comment 7 Kurt Lieber (RETIRED) 2003-05-05 06:19:52 UTC]

I have sent instructions on accessing our private distfiles mirror to [e-mail].  please update your rsync scripts to point to the new server and post here when you've done so.

Additionally, I added a FAQ to the source mirrors doc discussing Directory Indexing.

[Comment 8 Dan Stephans II 2003-05-05 09:51:25 UTC]

rsync script has been modified and is now syncing against the master for sources.

[Comment 9 Kurt Lieber (RETIRED) 2003-06-03 04:23:06 UTC]

Sorry for the delay.  We had some other mirror-related issues precluding us from working on new mirrors.

I'll be announcing this mirror in next week's Gentoo Weekly Newsletter -- would you like to include a brief (1 para) description of Seren Innovations for this article?  If so, please email me at [e-mail].

Also, if possible, could you update your rsync scripts to sync every 4 hours, starting at 00:00 UTC time?

Many thanks.

[Comment 10 Dan Stephans II 2003-06-03 08:43:22 UTC]

We're currently syncing as follows:

0 3,7,11,15,19,23 * * * root /export/gentoo/rsync/rsync-gentoo-source.sh

This is central time, I thought I matched up to UTC correctly but if your logs show differently let me know the offset I'm off by. =)

I'll email you a bit about Seren Innovations today.

this bug was resolved some time ago.  just forgot to close out the bug itself.
