As of yesterday, code.dlang.org now points to a more powerful dedicated
server that can host the DUB registry without the danger of freezing due
to excessive swapping - this is what happened on the 26th last month [1].
In addition to that, the server that previously hosted the registry is
now used to run an official mirror, reachable at codemirror.dlang.org.
This will be configured as a built-in fallback server starting with DMD
2.091.0/DUB 1.12.0 and, at least in theory, will lead to an uptime of
virtually 100%.
To make use of the mirror today, it is also possible to configure it in
DUB's settings.json as a custom registry:
{
"registryUrls": ["https://codemirror.dlang.org/";]
}
settings.json is found/needs to be created in %APPDATA%\dub\ on Windows
and in ~/.dub/ on all other systems. The custom entry should be removed
once DUB 1.12.0 is used, to avoid redundant requests in certain situations.
