Folks,
Are you seeking a volunteer or volunteers to replace the individual who no
longer can maintain the Fink mirrors?
If so, what are the criteria/requirements - both for the person and the
necessary system(s) - for such a volunteer? I am tentatively interested.
Thank You,

I’d say email fink-core@lists.sourceforge.net and ask. There aren’t any
specific technical requirements.
Knowledge of how administer the machine(s) to handle problems is important.

Apologies for the typoe - that should say "technical info", not "technical

Dear Mr. Hansen,
Thanks for the technical issue - I'm afraid my question was unclear.
Rephrasing - What sort of requirements might apply to the person
volunteering, and whom
should he/she contact to volunteer?
Thanks, -g

We’ve normally used Debian boxes, which could well be virtual
rather than
physical machines (and that would
probably make our lives easier). I’m not 100% about the resources
that are
needed, though, since I was never
actually involved in that part of the process.
Our mirrors use http for tarball and binary distribution, rsync,
and git. I’m
not sure how good the
documentation is, but the scripts are stored at
https://github.com/fink/scripts/tree/master/selfupdate-mirror
.
I spin up virtual machines pretty regularly at my job, but
unfortunately we audit
traffic fairly heavily and
we don’t have a lot of storage headroom.
Best,
Alex

Dear Mr. Hansen,
I'm taking the liberty of e-mailing you off-list; I hope that's OK.
Are you seeking a volunteer or volunteers to be the replacement "one
person...to handle things" vis-a-vis distribution mirrors? If so,
what
sort of requirements might apply? I am tenatively interested.
Best,
