Hi all,

As soon we'll have a kind of infrastructure and making the distribution
will start we'll need a way to distribute it.
So to be ready as soon as possible I start here a discuss about the
mirror management and will make some suggestion.

Nothing is done at time, so feel free to comment.

1) The mirror content:
- distribution
 - devel one
 - stable one
Idk if this is of any interest to you guys, but at Unity Linux we have a devel server central to everything that syncs with ibiblio thru a series of scripts. Then we have ~20 other sites that rsync with ibiblio on a regular basis. Ibiblio is a great mirror to use b/c by default there are already several other sites mirroring it.

Then we have a mirror monitoring system that reports the status of the mirrors.

+1 to ibiblio. 

Does anyone have a contact with ibiblio?

I used to know some guys in there, a few years ago. I still have a shell account in there.   

So if we have no current contacts, I can try to find someone at ibiblio. 

Salut,
Sinner
