If I understand correctly, we know it, but we afraid about the possibility of similar situation and threat of ftp-master.FreeBSD.org = RIP :-), about unnecessary pushing too big load on ftp-master. Somebody wants to be decent. :-) > We'll put the bits up on there, wait some 12-24 hours before making the > public announcement (to allow some amount of mirror propagation to take > place) and then send out the announcement. Ok, 12 hours is our new rule like 1 hour update rule for CVS. So I'm changing my rsync update times to every 6 hours for FreeBSD and every 2 hours for CERT subtree. Feel free to say "Hey all, no, setup all your mirrors in a different way". (Note it could not be so strange because I update CVS subtrees locally (once a day).) > There won't be any one person taking charge of all the mirrors, the > mirrors will have to rely on their individual admins to keep things > straight. Is it possible at least to warn us on freebsd-hubs about upcoming big changes like "4.4-RELEASE with all the packages is ready on the ftp-master, so it is good time to check status of your mirrors" or "10 GB of new data are on ftp-master and there are no plans to remove the older stuff, so it is good time to run for bigger disk"? ;-) I have 75 GB disk, so is it sufficient for the near future or do I have to do something to get bigger disk space? It seems that there are no any afraids about disk space again. > > o list of sites who will have a complete 4.4 distribution for inclusion > > when press releases are made and for inclusion on any web pages and > > pointers. Maybe it is possible to create some script which will scan rsync & cvsup logs on the ftp-master and determine itself when and which mirrors are done its work and further maybe it is possible to display this list when anybody try to do finger @ftp-master.FreeBSD.org :-) ... isn't anybody in Paris right now to welcome FreeBSD 4.4 together? :-) -- Rudolf Cejka (cejkar@dcse.fee.vutbr.cz; http://www.fee.vutbr.cz/~cejkar) Brno University of Technology, Faculty of El.
