Thank you each for volunteering to help with managing Fedora's list of mirror servers. You have all been added to the email alias 'mirror-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx', which is how you are getting this email. First, please send me your Fedora Account System username, as presumably the email address stored in the FAS for you is where you want these mails to go. Second, I recommend you subscribe to the relatively low volume fedora-infrastructure-list@xxxxxxxxxx , which is where all the interesting Infrastructure discussion happens. (http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-infrastructure-list). This includes outage notices, freeze changes, and the like. Third, we are always happy to have more mirrors, provided they have sufficient capacity to really be of benefit. In the US and Europe, we don't really need more mirrors. Rest of the world, we definitely do. Requests will come to the mirror-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx address, and will need a response. Be sure to "reply to all". I'll append my template. Be sure to copy ftp+fedora@xxxxxxxxxx and mirror-admin on your reply, so everyone sees it, and so the rsync ACL on the master download servers will get updated. Rule of thumb: new mirrors with >= 1Gbit pipes, or in countries not already well-served (such as India, China, or anything in South America or South Africa) should be approved. Mirrors on DSL/Cable modem lines in the US or Europe, thanks, but no. Private mirrors should be directed to pull from a listed public mirror. When approved, you should then approve their subscriptions to mirror-list and mirror-list-d. There's a password required to moderate that list. Not sure how best to handle that aspect... Fourth, the MirrorManager code itself. https://fedorahosted.org/mirrormanager/wiki/WikiStart has instructions, and a list of items known needing love is at https://fedorahosted.org/mirrormanager/wiki/HelpWanted. I cut my python teeth writing this code, and it's had a few reviews, but there are probably ways to make it better. The TG controller pieces are really pretty hokey - nothing as nice as the bodhi code is. If you've got other ideas, by all means, please let us know. Thanks, Matt -- Matt Domsch Linux Technology Strategist, Dell Office of the CTO linux.dell.com & www.dell.com/linux Public Mirror Acceptance Template We would be pleased to have you as a public mirror. Thank you for your contribution to Fedora! Please see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/Mirroring for guidance, and register your mirror in Mirrormanager at https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mirrormanager. By doing so, you will appear on the mirror list for Fedora 7 and future automatically. Most mirrors should rsync from one of the Tier 1 mirrors listed at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/Mirroring or from another mirror close network-wise listed on http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/. Thanks again, Matt Fedora Mirror Wrangler _______________________________________________ Fedora-infrastructure-list mailing list Fedora-infrastructure-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-infrastructure-list
