In the common case, any specific piece of software being installed has not changed in the past day (or even past week), and so collecting from a nearby location (in terms of network topology) is preferable. If a set of packages must be up to date, that repository should not be distributed in such a way as to allow delays (e.g. security.ubuntu.com). If an individual must have the latest set of packages, adding a more frequently updated mirror as a secondary source is a possible local solution, such that most packages are taken from the local archive, and out-of-date packages are taken from a more updated (but less close) archive. -- Emmet HIKORY -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
cn.archive.ubuntu.com severely outdated
Hi, I am the mirror administrator of cn.archive.ubuntu.com from Shanghai Linux User Group. Below is the email conversation between us and it can be a bit follow-up on wenzhuo's post. Regarding the upstream mirror source, we found planetmirror which is located in Australia is a quite a good source to rsync from and we've switched the debian mirror source (on the same server) to it. Our server located in Shanghai (data center of China Telecom) can go up to 5MByte/s during non-rush hours. Jim === The cron daemon on the mirror server had a problem some time few days back and we were not aware of that until around Oct 6. The crond issue caused mirror sync suspended during that period. We've had crond back online immediately. The issue about freshness status on the Launchpad.net has been there for a while since when we registered on Launchpad. So seems just a coincidence. I've sent an email to ubuntu mirror admin asking about it. Thanks a lot for your help and info.

The ubuntu archive on our server should always contain the latest copy, it syncs from ubuntu master mirror 6 times per day(every 4 hours). It seems for some reason the launchpad cannot detect the freshness of files on our site. I'll send an email to Ubuntu mirror admin for further check. Actually, it was indeed about a week behind. I noticed this issue because my gutsy installation had not seen any updates for about a week. After changing all occourances of cn.archive.ubuntu.com in sources.list to archive.ubuntu.com, the update manager prompted that there were 406 updates. Wenzhuo Thanks and I will keep you updated.

cn.archive.ubuntu.com severely outdated
Having noticed that the update manager of my Gutsy installation had not seen any updates for about one week, I changed the occurrences of cn.archive.ubuntu.com in sources.list to archive.ubuntu.com. After checking again, the Update Manager prompted that there are 406 updates. This means that cn.archive.ubuntu.com has been outdated for about one week. Is there any mechanism on the part of the ubuntu project to make sure the country level mirrors are updated timely?
