There will be multiple mirrors, yes. Already mirroring are bytekeeper.as28747.net and bach.hpc2n.umu.se I already got asked by some others here from europe and from asia. (No, i havent lost your mails, you get the answer tomorrow. :) ) They will be added Wednesday evening (my time :) ) but yes, there will be different mirrors. As many as possible. :) We intend to do the following: Have 3 or 4 primary mirror sync directly from amd64.d.n, and let others sync from them. As one of the machines directly syncing is a very powerful one (both with bandwith and cpu) this one will take most of them. And we close amd64.d.n for direct access to have a fast and timely push to our mirrors. That should be the best for our users, fetching the stuff from a local mirror and not a machine that would get overloaded with everyone fetching from it centrally. :) One difference to debian is in this setup: We run our "dinstall" hourly, so we have more and smaller (well, one arch :) ) pushes. More will come with a general announcement in the next days, we are still cleaning some places here and there. :) Oh, we will also provide a mirrors.txt, so users can choose their mirrors to match their location. :) (And as always: More mirrors are always good, so just mail me if you want to be a mirror and get pushes whenever there are changes.) -- bye Joerg <madduck> and yes, the ftpmasters are not the most clueful people -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
