Hola all. |
2 |
The beast mirror stats xml page now lives at |
3 |
http://dev.gentoo.org/distfile-mirroring/failure.xml |
4 |
rather then my devspace. The page will get overhauled to be a bit |
5 |
better looking, and proper xml whenever I get the chance. |

Aside from that, devs- if you have a files that you need kept on the |
8 |
mirrors, despite no ebuild claiming it from the tree (freebsd's files |
9 |
for gentoo-bsd is a perfect example), add the filename to |
10 |
/space/distfiles-whitelist/current , which is a symlink to the current |
11 |
month (2005-04 is the current link fex). |
12 |
|
13 |
So... what does the date mean? It means the file will be on the |
14 |
mirrors for 6 months, and then no longer whitelisted. Sorry, no |
15 |
indefinite whitelisting (it'll bloat the mirror). If you have files |
16 |
whitelisted that you don't need on the mirrors anymore, just remove |
17 |
any matching entry from /mnt/distfiles-whitelist/ files, and it'll be |
18 |
removed w/in a week. |
19 |
|
20 |
If your 6 month's are almost up, re-add the files to the current |
21 |
month, and you'll have 6 more months. Note, you best have a good |
22 |
reason for doing this, indefinitely whitelisting files _will_ catch my |
23 |
attention :) |

25 |
I've added in the freebsd files I knew of for the bsd crew; please |
26 |
follow the format I've used in the file- |
27 |
|
28 |
# who added it (eg: who's responsible) |
29 |
# what they're for, when they're expected to be removed |
30 |
file1 |
31 |
file2 |
32 |
file3 |
33 |
|
34 |
|
35 |
If a line doesn't start with #, it's consider a file name. One file |
36 |
per line. After adding an entry to the file, it's your responsibility |
37 |
to ensure the file isn't listed for deletion (eg, check back in 24 |
38 |
hours). I'll add a section for "these files are whitelisted" in the |
39 |
next day or so. |

41 |
If you have any questions, nows the time to ask. |
