Hello, Here is a summary of news about Debian mirrors, for those who do not follow the various Debian mailing-lists or IRC#debian-mirrors. No archive update/push within the next days ------------------------------------------- FTPMasters work currently on the code that manages the Debian archive, and disabled updates for some days [1]. As a consequence, you will no longer see push triggers or packages updates for the next days. So don't worry, everything should return to normal operation within this week-end (31st Oct/1rd Nov). [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-infrastructure-announce/2009/10/msg00003.html Volatile master --------------- The volatile master previously referred volatile.debian.(net|org) is now only available at volatile-master.debian.org, through rsync for the moment. For mirror that *pull* volatile archive, check whether your "standard archive" upstream provides volatile, if so please ask them for a push, and tell us your new volatile upstream at mirrors@d.o. In any case, please select an upstream mirror close to you if possible (for example your ftp.CC.d.o) from [2]. Don't expect volatile-master.debian.org to be publicly opened at mid term. [2] http://www.debian.org/volatile/volatile-mirrors New and official mirrors ------------------------ We have now official Debian mirrors [3] in : - New Caledonia: ftp.nc.debian.org - Thailand: ftp.th.debian.org - Bosnia & Herzegovina: ftp.ba.debian.org - Ukraine: ftp.ua.debian.org and some other new mirrors around the globe. Many thanks to all the admins of Debian mirrors for the resources offered to Debian users. [3] http://www.debian.org/mirrors/official Status of mirrors ----------------- Unfortunately, we have to remove some others mirrors from the list from time to time, because of freshness or accessibility issues. That's why we remind all mirrors' admins that they *should* : - use the recommended tool ftpsync: http://debian.org/mirror/ftpmirror#how - avoid drop/close architectures or access protocol (moreover without prior notification) - read the errors logs mailed by ftpsync - for ISOs, do not perform manual updates, but *automatic* either pushed or pulled. The web page giving the status of mirrors [4] is updated twice a day, and gives a rough (but true) status. A specific page checks the status of ISO/CDImage mirrors [5].
