[No need to CC me, I'm subscribed. Keeping the other CCs since I don't know about their subscription status.] Hi ARAKI Yasuhiro wrote: > I announce I start cdn.debian.net. You could have announced work on this before, we could have joined forces! :-) But I wonder, how do you guys deal with partial mirrors (in terms of provided archs)? Do you support only full mirrors? You don't have any architecture information, so I assume you can only use mirrors which could provide all archs, right? > This CDN checks your hosts DNS query to retrive your national location. > - If your located country has Debian Mirror, return this mirror site IP address. > - If your located continent has Debian Mirror, return this mirror site IP address. I don't think this is a good logic for many situations. For instance: Brazil is in South America, but it doesn't have good links to any other South American country. You'd most probably get better results from a North American mirror instead of any other South American mirror outside Brazil. I think this situation might occur too often in other countries. > - If CDN can not find your location, return one of Japan mirror. > - This CDN checks debian rsync mirror process. If mirror site is mirroring, CDN hides this site. This is a good idea. I had intended to plug this information into my solution as well, though I'm not sure about hiding current mirroring sites... Though I couldn't find where you get this info from, and how. Is it in the SVN you supplied? Furthermore, why don't you guys use the info from the Mirrors.masterlist[0] file to generate your country/continent information? This way you can work closely with the mirror-admins to keep your info up-to-date. Cheers -- Leo "costela" Antunes [insert a witty retort here]
