Hello, I'm a student from Federal University of Pará, we have been using a private Gentoo and rsync mirror, and now we'd like to provide this service for the community.

The addresses are:

Full mirror:
http://gentoo.laps.ufpa.br

rsync mirror:
rsync://gentoo.laps.ufpa.br/gentoo-portage

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
