I think the most important missed fact is, just how unreliable is PyPI
currently? Does anyone know?
Exactly my point, right now, since the code is not completely clear
and not tested we don't really know what's supposed to worked and how.
It's really a problem when the only way you have to know if
something goes wrong is when your users start complaining...
Is there any Nagios monitoring in place or is there the need to have
some external reliability monitoring in place?
I can set up a Nagios machine to check the HTTP status of PyPi. Also,
if the earlier described path of PyPi mirroring my the community is
chosen I can happily have a server serving PyPi packages in the
Netherlands.
I don't think this means what you seem to think it means. If you
replace
a single point of failure with N points of failure, your overall
reliability goes down, not up, since there are now more things to go
wrong. Assuming that they're independent points of failure, that means
your total number of failures will increase by a factor of N.
This is why we should work on the heart the problem problem, pypi
itself and why it's down sometime.
Nobody know exactly what happen, maybe it's not a performance
problems.
As you said, we may have the same problem in the future on all
mirroring nodes ...
Yes, there should be some more investigative work be done on the
reason of the apparent unreliability.
