Um, oops. Fat fingered the template I was using. It should be: HTTP: http://mirror.teljet.net/centos -D Am 26.01.11 18:08, schrieb David Storandt: > I'd like to add our new mirror to the list... > > http://mirror.teljet.net > Available over both IPv4 and IPv6. > > Contact: TelJet Support <support(a)teljet.net> > > Versions: All > Architectures: All > HTTP: http://mirror.team-cymru.org/CentOS/ Um?

Set up New Mirror
by support＠bluethundercomputers.net 01 Feb '11

01 Feb '11

To whom it may concern: I set up a mirror for centos but I am not sure if I did it right. the address is http://mirror.bluethundercomputers.net/centos I set up cron to update every 4 hours dont know if this is to much or not. Or should I set it to every 6 hours instead?? The cron I set is: rsync -aqzH --delete us-msync.centos.org::CentOS /home/bluethun/public_html/mirror/centos I did put the files in there but some of them are empty along with it only going up to centos 3. Is this all I had to do and the system will update over time?? Did I miss a step?? Any help you can give I would be greatful. Also how do I set it up to be ftp and rsyc?? I want it to be listed in the mirror list thanks again. Jeffrey Palladino http://bluethundercomputers.net

It does not, but it could have been worded better, and in fact I believe the wording was updated. Also, the wording essentially has no real effect. First, that section applies only to the Fedora system as a whole. Paragraph 1 of the Fedora license states that each piece may be distributed under the GPL or other applicable license. So each package is still GPL, just the ISOs, basically, are export restricted, according to the Fedora license. In section 5 of GPL v3 you'll find: Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate. Under section 5, Fedora could use any license they wish for the aggregate (ISO) without violating the GPL. For that reason, it doesn't violate the GPL, since the GPL says they can license the ISO any way they wish, so long as each package is GPL. As far as the actual effect, recall that the GPL, like any license, is only the AUTHOR giving you THEIR permission to do certain things. That doesn't imply that the GOVERNMENT also gives THEIR permission. So while the GPL license may not restrict export, US law may in some cases. Neither Fedora nor anyone else can give you permission to violate the law, so those export restrictions are in place no matter what Fedora says. In reality, if you violate the law and the license by exporting an ISO, Fedora isn't going to come after you. They are just covering their butts legally by not being clear that they are not giving you permission to violate the law. US law says that they can't indirectly export it, by giving it to you and telling you that you can export it. It may have been better to word it as a warning rather than a restriction, simply warning the user that exporting certain packages may be illegal. In any event, paragraph 1 of the Fedora license does all that's necesary under the GPL when it grants you a GPL license, using these words: This agreement does not limit User's rights under, or grant User rights that supersede, the license terms of any particular component. -- Ray Morris support(a)bettercgi.com Strongbox - The next generation in site security: http://www.bettercgi.com/strongbox/ Throttlebox - Intelligent Bandwidth Control http://www.bettercgi.com/throttlebox/ Strongbox / Throttlebox affiliate program: http://www.bettercgi.com/affiliates/user/register.php

CentOS 4.8 mirrors problem?
by Marius Ardelean 27 Jan '11

27 Jan '11

Hi, I have problem to update the kernel for CentOS 4.8. Please have a look at the message from yum: Error Downloading Packages: kernel - 2.6.9-89.35.1.EL.i686: failure: RPMS/kernel-2.6.9-89.35.1.EL.i686.rpm from update: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try. Seems all the mirrors have this problem regarding this kernel. Regards Marius Ardelean Administrator of lnx.apollo-hw.ro

If we send you all iranian traffic, do you think the connections > will be good enough to also install large packages? There is no mirror in Iran. So all Iranian users are using external mirrors from other countries such as US, Europa. So there is no difference for them. Connection speed is good enough to install large packages. Is it possible for you to add our mirror to both middle east and European lists. This server can handle it. Thank you very much. Openmirror Team
