Hi, I believe a centos-mirror-announce list would solve some of the issues. People interested in providing help can continue to follow centos-mirrors(c-m) list, wheras those who want to be informed of only important updates can follow c-m-announce list. The status quo can continue for new mirrors/status updates in c-m list. As a suggestion, Fedora's mirror management sytem is great, it gives the mirror administrators control over all aspects of the mirror from a web interface. You can consider switching to it, if there is enough manpower. - Gokdeniz Karadag Karanbir Singh demis ki:: > hi, > > This has now been raised a few times, and I think its important to talk > about : request for an centos-mirror-announce list, so mirror admins can > only monitor that. > > I think its important to not have an announce only list for the mirrors, > and have a place like this list so issues important to the mirror admins > can be discussed here.
