I am going to release the 6.1 tree to the msync machines (eu-msync.centos.org, us-msync.centos.org, msync.centos.org) as well as msync-dvd.centos.org Both the msync machines and the msync-dvd machines have geoip capability, so they will pick a machine that is on or close to your continent for syncing. The targets are "rsync <your_options> msync.centos.org::CentOS/" (or eu-msync, us-msync if you prefer ... though the system should give you the correct one with just msync as well) ... OR ... "rsync <your_options> msync-dvd.centos.org::CentOS-incdvd/". The msync-dvd machines will require that your mirror has been added to the list to be authorized. I will monitor the centos-mirrors list and try to add anyone who is not on there that wants to be ... BUT, for 6.1, there is no difference in the trees. The msync tree and the msync-dvd trees both have the DVDs in the tree. Initially, while we get the tree pushed, I am going to have the permissions on the 6.1 directory set to 700 ... this is to prevent access on our mirrors while we get some external machines synced. I will, after we get several dozen external mirrors synced, flip the permissions to 755 and a subsequent rsync by you will also change your permissions. Obviously, you control your external servers and you can offer the tree early after you get it in place ... but remember that our mirror list generator will show your trees as active as it finds them, so you may get significant traffic if you open your tree early (before other machines get online). If you have any questions, let me know. Thanks, Johnny Hughes -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
