Well, it is now February already. |

I will go through the backlog of mirror requests and start adding new |
| 21 |
mirrors again. It is only myself in this effort so please be patient :) |
| 22 |
|

Some outstanding issues remain: |
| 24 |
- New deployment of mirrorstats.gentoo.org has been delayed. I will send |
| 25 |
out an announcement here and on planet.gentoo.org when we get that deployed |
| 26 |
fully. |
| 27 |
- "Missing timestamp.chk" issue which was reported on this mailing list. I |
| 28 |
will try to track that down soon. We have already looked at it and the |
| 29 |
issue is non-obvious. Time to dig deeper. |
| 30 |
- IPv6 rotations. Expect more communication soon regarding how to better |
| 31 |
serve you and our end users. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
On the positive note, I did get a new gentoo-portage rsync mirrors listing |
| 34 |
available online at: http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/mirrors-rsync.xml - It |
| 35 |
has all the mirrors listed, but there is still some formatting changes I |
| 36 |
want to make. Eventually, we will put this link on the main gentoo.org |
| 37 |
website too. |

Thanks again for all of your hardware & bandwidth donations! |
