Hey Everybody, |
2 |
|

The Open Source Lab currently provides the master distfiles mirror for |
4 |
the Gentoo Linux project. We've recently completed an upgrade to our |
5 |
network and mirror infrastructure that allow us to split rsync services out |
6 |
from our general mirror (ftp, http, etc). This will allow us to avoid |
7 |
problems with users competing with mirrors in the future. |
8 |
|

In talking with the Gentoo infrastructure team it seems like it makes |
10 |
sense to have folks pointing at an gentoo.org address. To that end, we |
11 |
are proposing that folks please point at masterdistfiles.gentoo.org to |
12 |
sync with distfiles. Use the same credentials as before with |
13 |
rsync.osuosl.org and ftp.oregonstate.edu. |
14 |
|
15 |
I will be moving the rsync.osuosl.org name to the new machine very soon |
16 |
so most of you will not have to change anything (although you should |
17 |
point at masterdistfiles.gentoo.org if you can). We will be disabling |
18 |
rsync access to ftp.oregonstate.edu|ftp.osuosl.org in the coming days so |
19 |
if you sync to that address it will FAIL. We'll leave a dummy rsync up |
20 |
in place with a modified MOTD to explain to folks what has changed. |
21 |
|
22 |
Let me know if you have any questions/comments/concerns, |
23 |
|
24 |
Scott :-) |
