Hello, I'm assigning this to java@ since the majority of mirror://apache/ ebuilds are in dev-java/. Feel free to reassign as appropriate. Approximately 25 of 250 mirrors in the 'apache' mirror group in profiles/thirdpartymirrors file appear to be invalid/dead. These were checked as part of an analysis of all third party mirror lists. The dead mirrors should probably be removed, and there may be a more up to date mirror list upstream that can be used. Here is a status of all 'apache' mirrors: good: http://www.eu.apache.org/dist/ good: http://www.us.apache.org/dist/ good: http://mirrors.dcarsat.com.ar/apache/ good: http://apache.xfree.com.ar/ good:

Still need to check for an upstream list so leaving the bug open.
Created attachment 367208 [details, diff] apache-mirror-cleanup.patch I've attached a patch to totally replace this mirror list, based on the current upstream list here: http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi I've omitted the 'picotopia' mirror, as it appears to be dead. All other mirrors are good. This new list is much shorter than what we have now, but I think it's best if we stick to upstream's official mirror list... and 44 mirrors is still plenty.
Fixed here https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/profiles/thirdpartymirrors?id=3a0f002e60985f59c364f1d849383b2114fbf119
