Hi Adam,

Thanks for the review. Both points are now addressed.

INFO_MAINTAINER was simply never set in our ftpsync.conf, so ftpsync did
not emit the line at all. It is set now, along with the other optional
fields:

  Maintainer: Max <[email protected]>
  Sponsor: iHost <https://ihost.md/>
  Country: MD
  Location: Chisinau
  Throughput: 10Gb

> We recommend mirrors not sync directly from service aliases such as

Agreed, and changed. We now sync from ftp.uni-sofia.bg, the site
currently backing ftp.bg.debian.org, so the trace reports the real
upstream:

  Upstream-mirror: ftp.uni-sofia.bg

Both changes are live and a full ftpsync run has completed since, so the
current trace file should pass your checks:

  http://mirror.ihost.md/debian/project/trace/mirror.ihost.md

For reference, the mirror details are unchanged from the original
submission:

  Site:          mirror.ihost.md
  HTTP:          http://mirror.ihost.md/debian/
  HTTPS:         https://mirror.ihost.md/debian/
  rsync:         rsync://mirror.ihost.md/debian
  Architectures: amd64 arm64 source
  Country:       MD (Moldova)
  Location:      Chisinau, AS43588
  Bandwidth:     10 Gbit/s
  Updates:       ftpsync, 4x daily
  Contact:       [email protected]

This is currently the only up-to-date Debian mirror in Moldova.

Two things we would be glad to hear your opinion on, but which should
not hold up this submission:

1. We also mirror debian-cd on the same host and would be happy to be
   listed for it:
     http://mirror.ihost.md/debian-cd/
     rsync://mirror.ihost.md/debian-cd
   Should that go through this bug, or separately to
   [email protected]?

2. If the mirror team ever finds it useful, we would be willing to pull
   from one of the syncproxies instead: the host sits on a 10 Gbit/s
   port and we already let other sites mirror from us over rsync. We are
   equally happy to remain a leaf mirror pulling from ftp.uni-sofia.bg
   if that is preferred.

Our automated checks noticed some issues with your setup:

o The trace file at
  http://mirror.ihost.md/debian/project/trace/mirror.ihost.md
  is missing some required information.

  We expect at least the Maintainer and Upstream-mirror values to be
  filled in, and your trace file is missing one or both of them.

o We recommend mirrors not sync directly from service aliases such as
  ftp.<CC>.debian.org (only HTTP is guaranteed to be available at
  ftp.<CC> sites).  Maybe change your config to sync from
  the site currently backing the ftp.<CC>.debian.org service you sync
  from?


Regards,

Adam
