-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Proximus/Skynet/Belgacom mirror malfunction warning [was: Please verify FTP sync service] Date: Wed, 06 Apr 2016 01:40:02 +0200 From: Bart Champagne <b...@mirror.as35701.net> To: mirr...@debian.org Mail on request of cnote, regarding the bad sync status of the Skynet (now Belgacom/Proximus) Debian mirror. My logs specifically matter for the ISO images, as Belgacom/Skynet/Proximus grabs them from the mirror I'm hosting (ftp.be.debian.org <ftp://ftp.be.debian.org/> ), but I'm worried for the general health of their mirror as well. Last successful sync in 2015: 2015/09/07 16:00:01 [12846] connect from mirror005.isp.belgacom.be (195.238.1.7) 2015/09/07 16:00:01 [12846] rsync on debian-cd/ from mirror005.isp.belgacom.be (195.238.1.7) 2015/09/07 16:00:01 [12846] building file list 2015/09/07 16:00:01 [12846] sent 86868 bytes received 425 bytes total size 164482160580 Their next sync happened right when the Jessie 8.2 ISO files were being regenerated: 2015/09/07 18:00:01 [12935] connect from mirror005.isp.belgacom.be (195.238.1.7) 2015/09/07 18:00:01 [12935] rsync on debian-cd/ from mirror005.isp.belgacom.be (195.238.1.7) 2015/09/07 18:00:01 [12935] building file list 2015/09/07 19:22:55 [12935] file has vanished: "/8.2.0/armel/iso-cd/debian-update-8.1.0-armel-CD-1.iso" (in debian-cd) 2015/09/07 19:22:55 [12935] file has vanished: "/8.2.0/armel/iso-cd/debian-update-8.1.0-armel-CD-2.iso" (in debian-cd) etc...

Their cdimage (and entire contents of http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/) seems to have vanished recently too. No idea what their plan or update strategy is but I guess they're silently dropping it. I have no grudge against them, but I'd call their mirror "tainted" at best. If they don't reply to inquiries, I'd suggest to drop 'em as a listed mirror as many installs probably try to update using this out-of-sync mirror. Bart Below the message I sent the mirror admin on September 8, 2015. I had sent them an e-mail on 29/04/2014 as well, asking if they couldn't generate the iso's locally - never got a reply but I did get a Read Receipt. > Date: Tue, 08 Sep 2015 13:38:55 +0200 > To: f...@skynet.be, marc.sauv...@belgacom.be > From: Bart Champagne <b...@mirror.as35701.net> > Subject: Please verify FTP sync service > > Hello, > > As of the latest release of Debian iso files yesterday evening, rsync > from mirror005.isp.belgacom.be (195.238.1.7) throws an error on the > iso files : > > 2015/09/08 10:00:01 [27990] rsync on debian-cd/ from > mirror005.isp.belgacom.be (195.238.1.7) > 2015/09/08 10:00:01 [27990] building file list > 2015/09/08 10:02:01 [27990] rsync: read error: Connection reset by > peer (104) > 2015/09/08 10:02:01 [27990] rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) > at io.c(785) [sender=3.1.1] > > Furthermore, it seems that mirror008.isp.belgacom.be (195.238.1.6) > stopped sync'ing on 26/08/2015 - I'm not sure if this is by design or not. > > Can you check if everything is working correctly at your side ? > > Kind regards, > Bart Champagne > > P.S.
