TL;DR: All source mirrors need to confirm/update the distfile fetch URL |
2 |
for mirroring, to rsync://masterdistfiles.gentoo.org/gentoo/ |

Hi, |

|

Recently the USSG group at Indiana University discontinued their rsync |
7 |
mirror, they have provided service for many years, but had to |
8 |
discontinue it. Their mirror was specifically the initial mirror covered |
9 |
in the Source mirror documentation, and then as mirrors joined, you were |
10 |
provided with the private URL & credentials. |
11 |
|
12 |
The Gentoo mirrorstats page shows that multiple mirrors stopped updating |
13 |
around the same time (2020/01/22). I count 7 distinct mirrors right now, |
14 |
and I'll be further following up with them. |
15 |
|
16 |
OSUOSL has adjusted configuration on their mirror to no longer require |
17 |
authentication, and the documentation has been updated to reflect that, |
18 |
however now we need all mirrors to ensure their configuration is |
19 |
updated. |

24 |
The updated rsync fetch URL for all source mirrors is |
25 |
rsync://masterdistfiles.gentoo.org/gentoo/ |
26 |
|
27 |
P.S. As a further reminder, could all mirrors please ensure that they |
28 |
have HTTPS enabled and serving correctly for their URLs. |
