Hello,
the pacman-mirrorlist team decided to remove http mirrors from the
default mirrorlist. see: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/
packaging/packages/pacman-mirrorlist/-/merge_requests/6
They use a script that queries: https://archlinux.org/mirrorlist/?
country=all.
After their change we figured out, that our server ftp.tu-chemnitz.de
was removed from the default pacman-mirrorlist like other servers.
I verified all changes and figured out, that 50 http-mirrors also
offers https but the information on the website seems to be outdated.
So, my question: how can we update the mirror details?
best regards
Hi,
there are several reasons to this:
1. Arch mirrorlist team forgot to add it when submitted
2. The person submitting it forgot or did not want to include it
3. Later implemented and not communicated to Arch mirrorlist team
For now, we do not automatically add https if it is on the server but
not offered to the list via submission. If HTTPS breaks on their end and
they get emails from us that they should fix it, it does not make sense
really. We could ask them instead to add them if we can enable them,
that could be an option. If you wish for us to add your as https let us
know. Just to note, people will still fetch your mirror via reflector
tool if they do not filter out https. Unsure if its by default on archiso.
Regards,
Arun
