Description Juan Leaniz 2008-03-20 23:45:58 UTC
We would like to be a new full mirror for gentoo. We rsync'd the server with the ftp on the mirror documentation and set up a crontab to update it every 4 hours, the mirror is accessible via HTTP and FTP. http://gentoo.fiber-hosting.com and ftp://gentoo.fiber-hosting.com 
The server is on a gigabit uplink and its running Hardened Gentoo.


Reproducible: Always

15:42 < jlsn> :/
15:42 < fox2mike> jlsn: here's a tip. Stop hounding us about the bug. 
15:42 < fox2mike> jlsn: we all work on our free time, so things take time. Please stop asking, 
                  there will be an update to the bug when there is an update
15:45 < jlsn> happy easter to you too mike :)
15:52 < astinus> jlsn: you fail, anyway
15:52 < astinus> Sun, 23 Mar 2008 08:08:11 +0000
15:52 < astinus> its now 15:52 GMT
15:52 < astinus> which means its not syncing every four hours.
15:52 ~~~ astinus chuckles
16:01 < jlsn> astinus: you ever get laid? why are you hating? im just trying to help out with a new 
              mirror and im told 'you fail' ? nice attitude.
16:01 < jlsn> *sigh*. fail. lol, it looks like you guys got a hater on board, we might as well go 
              mirror freebsd or something. You dont need a new mirror anyway.
16:01 ||| jlsn i=phreek@PROMETHEUS.ASGARD.SC has left #gentoo-mirrors "Leaving"
16:02 < astinus> wow, someone doesn't take tongue-in-cheek very well


The new mirror is appreciated, but please bear in mind up until 2-3 weeks ago the wait time to be added was *months* -- we're a volunteer effort, we cannot move heaven and earth and make things happen in ~24 hours usually.

Plus if there's no laughter and comedy, where's the motivation?

I'll resolve this as LATER: if you do decide to keep mirroring Gentoo Linux then please make sure it's syncing every four hours -- using something like 'rsync.de.gentoo.org' is a good bet as they're pretty fast and up-to-date.

Kind Regards,
Alex

hi,
if you like to you can check it again, i wasn't syncing the portage tree, just the distfiles,releases,snapshots,exp. stuff. i added a /gentoo-portage directory and /gentoo where its syncing the portage tree now and the rest of the things. Also providing rsync access to them.

My apologies for flipping out earlier.

Thanks
Juan

This is not a critical issue. And you'll have to wait, since there are other mirrors before yours, until some weeks ago there was some bugs from august.

Please note that i can't do anything, i'm just telling you that you'll have to wait a lot.

Time on the server:   Mon, 31 Mar 2008 08:08:09 +0000
Time when I checked:  Mon Mar 31 14:44:19 BST 2008

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/source_mirrors.xml << suggests that mirrors must be updated every four hours -- please could you check your cron jobs for me?

The problem before wasn't that you don't have gentoo-portage, rather that the mirror is not syncing every 4 hours as required; if you want to mirror gentoo-portage too that'd be fantastic, that needs to sync every 30 minutes though!

Okay, this one definitely needs fixing.

and this one is rsync1.us having a bad hair day :)

Drop a note when you've had a chance to look at the first issue and I'll perform a couple more timestamp.chk verifications before adding you.

Alex,
Hi, thanks for checking out the server. I'm using rsync.de.gentoo.org for gentoo-portage and distro.ibiblio.org for gentoo tree. I believe i've fixed the cron jobs to run as required for both sync's. Please run some more checks and let me know.

Regards,
Juan

Thanks
