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.)
Hi all,
Anybody know if there's going to be a mirror in or near Australia at all? The mirrors are all quite far away from me here...
Thanks,
Pete
