Thanks!

I'm trying to work out if there's a sensible way of renaming the mirror
in the mirror list that doesn't result in you disappearing off the
published list for 10-14 days (as new mirrors start with a low
"score"). I'm tempted to add a new entry for the new name, let that
make its way on to the published list and then remove the older entry.

Makes sense to me to double list it for a while.

The mirror listing currently includes:

Alias: churchill.acc.umu.se

but I'm not sure if churchill is still relevant here.

No, this was the old push trigger / updating host, taken over by poincare:

We'll presumably also want to change the mirror push to ftp.acc.umu.se
/ poincare.acc.umu.se to use the new name, which will also imply
changing the rsync username that you use to pull updates. That needs a
bit of investigation / checking in order to avoid breaking your updates
if we can't do a synchronised cut-over.

The poincare.acc.umu.se is currently having their primary name in the .acc.umu.se domain, and since it is not "a web site" or otherwise public-facing there is a lot less pressure to do anything about the domain name. I suggest keeping it as poincare.acc.umu.se for now, and we'll maybe get back to it in a few years. It is the host that does all the updates, taking ssh triggers and running cron jobs.
