Hi,
while I am still struggling with that host (well, small technicialities,
nothing major), I'd like to start a discussion on how to convert our
mirror table to the layout which is needed for mirrormanager.
You can find a description of the table at
http://oerks.de/~ralph/mirrordb.txt - that probably is easier to look at
than trying to get out a version via mail which doesn't break for
everyone :)
Let me explain that table (and let me explain the fields we probably
still need and which we don't need anymore, afaics).
Name: Is our primary key - so every mirror has to have a unique name in
our DB
location-major: That's the continent
locmajidx: numerical representation of the continent
location-minor: Country (or in the case of US and Canada: State)
http,ftp,rsync: The URLs the mirror is at
speed: Used for the representation on the mirrorlist at www.centos.org.
Mostly T1 anyway, not needed anymore, I guess.
bandwidth: Actual bandwidth. Not needed.
status: set by mirror-status (at least Dead, Disabled is for manual
intervention)
state: more detailed state
contact-name: Name of the person running the mirror. Internal use for us.
contact-tel: I cannot remember calling a mirroradmin :)
contact-email: Our second unique field. I guess that will be used for login
comments: Free form, normally the request mail sent to the list. Nice to
have, but not needed.
access*: Not used
Type: We only have direct mirrors.
restructured: That must have happened before 2006 :)
centostext: What to add to the mirror URLs (so mostly unused)
url: The URL to the sponsor's website
info_note, notes_private,infoblock,graphic_url: Not used.
centos*: Which versions does the mirror carry?
arch_all: Yes, if not, then:
arches: Free form - only used for the mirror list on www
dvd-iso: Does it carry them (always yes since 6)
dvd*: The versions (6 is set to yes always)
dvd-iso-host,rsync-dvd-host: No idea. Not used
cc: The TLD the mirror is in. Actually used for generating
mirrorlists.txt for that country
continent: Used for the mirrorlist on www
centos_code,priority: Not used
use-in-mirror-list: Used: We don't really put 10Mbit-machines in EU or
US or CA into the mirrorlist.txt which is handed out via yum
I guess we can drop many of those when going over to mirrormanager. But:
What I don't see on the Fedora pages is a list of all the mirrors (by
country/continent/whatever) - I know that this is one thing we actually
do need and want.
All the other location data probably aren't needed anymore, afaics.
Anything I actually overlooked?

hi guys,
were starting to seed 6.2 internally, hoping to open to public mirrors
in the next few days. Keep an eye on that.
Also, 6.0 is going to be completely moved over to vault.c.o, so you will
notice a drop in mirror size.

Hi,
We have setup a CentOS mirror.
We have 100MB of available bandwidth
The server is located from āVietnamā in a city named āHCMā.
Mirrors services are available by :
- http : http://mirror.fpt-telecom.fpt.net/centos/
The name of the organization is āFPT Telecomā, web site available at www.fpt.vn<http://www.fpt.vn>
Thanks and Best Regards
Hi,
This is a somewhat minor question, borne more of a curiosity. I
noticed that my mirror, https://centos.alteeve.com, doesn't show up on
the (Canadian) mirror list. In fact, none from Ontario, Canada are. Any
idea why?
As an aside, congrats to all for getting 6.1 out! :)
Thanks

Erm, that is an answer to what?
This is in response to needing a primary email contact for the mirror, sorry I didn't copy you previous response.

I need the mail address for the people responsible for that mirror (as
that will also be the username for when we switch to MirrorManager).
