Sorry if I wade +</I>><i> through these negative arguments, but these beyond-the-enthusiast-user +</I>><i> spotlights count. +</I> +You can't compare this setup with anything related to Mageia. Mageia +does not ask to become a consultant to Switch and Mageia does not ask +for any fees. Furthermore "bad administrative response" is one of +those things about Mandriva that Mageia will avoid by all means. It +was caused by lack of manpower of a commercial company, something +which is totally different at Mageia. + +><i> I think that, when the stable release approaches, a small campaign to +</I>><i> rectify these prejudices would be an excellent thing. +</I> +Time to rectify those prejudices is now, at any time at any place (not +only with mirror providers but in general). + +><i> But I think that on the long-run there are lessons to be learned from the +</I>><i> discussion with Switch - mirrors for a stable Mageia should be preferably +</I>><i> hosted at professionally run mirror sites (who make the kind of +</I>><i> consideration I quoted above), university solutions should come as +</I>><i> additional icing. In case of a second round of discussion on how to organise +</I>><i> Mageia mirrors, it might be a good idea to have that discussion with some +</I>><i> participation from the mirror sites. +</I> +I can not confirm nor agree to this. As Oliver wrote, 2 universities +already set up a mirror for Mageia and when looking around worldwide +who is hosting a Mandriva mirror you will notice that educational +institutions (aka universities) are the majority. + +Using MirrorBrain may or may not be an improvement (I can't judge +this) but IMHO it should not be a criterium to mirror or not. + +Of course, if Switch wants it that way then it is up to the Mageia +sysadmins to decide what is the better way - implementing MirrorBrain +to please Switch or not implement it and forget about Switch - not +speaking about other advantages/disadvantages which may come with +Mirrorbrain. + +-- +wobo +</PRE> + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="003943.html">[Mageia-discuss] Mirror +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="003942.html">[Mageia-discuss] Mirror +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#3941">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#3941">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#3941">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#3941">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">More information about the Mageia-discuss +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
