Hi all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Today we added tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org (rsync4.prefix.freens.org) as |
| 4 |
rsync mirror to our rsync slaves. Since this machine is located in the |
| 5 |
US, it will most probably be a faster sync box for the USians under us. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
You can specifically select it by adding the following to your |
| 8 |
etc/make.conf: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
RSYNC="rsync://rsync.us.prefix.freens.org/gentoo-portage-prefix" |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
If America is further away from you, and you prefer to keep on using the |
| 13 |
European mirrors rsync2 and rsync3 (both located in Germany), you can |
| 14 |
add this instead: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
RSYNC="rsync://rsync.eu.prefix.freens.org/gentoo-portage-prefix" |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
The default rsync.prefix.freens.org will randomly point to any of the |
| 19 |
nodes. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Remember that the master rsync mirror (rsync1) regenerates every 10 |
| 22 |
minutes, while the slaves sync up every 15 minutes. Hence changes made |
| 23 |
in the tree can sometimes take a few minutes to catch up. |
