By mirroring the new site in SVN, it is possible to have all mirrors updated on a continual basis. It doesn't need to be frequent, daily should be fine and maybe once the new content is in, even weekly. (Except near release time when the mirrors should really check for news updates more frequently.) Just set up a cron job and tweak it close to release time. i.e. updates are a 'pull' model, we can't push updates to the mirrors. All mirrors will carry all translations but individual mirrors may need extra locales installed to get some translations to work. With enough mirrors, those who don't have sufficient access to install locales may be able to redirect to one that does carry the requested translation. > I believe this is hosted by > planetmirror (the source mirror link is also broken, and its a > planetmirror link). (It doesn't have to stay at planetmirror - if you've got access to planetmirror or some other hosting space, checkout a copy from svn.) ;-) I may keep the demo site as a uk/en_GB mirror - the EU mirror does update, (it's carrying the 1.9.0 announcement) but there's no harm in having another mirror. (The EU mirror, for some reason, isn't currently displaying the link back to the US or AU sites but that will change once the mirror moves to updating via svn.) The EU mirror is using the 'at' subdomain (Austria). Derek: Would it be useful to direct www.uk.gnucash.org to the demo site at http://gnucash.neil.williamsleesmill.me.uk/ ? I could tweak the existing virtual host at this end if the DNS was to point to the correct IP. Or would '.gb.' be preferable? (i.e. do we go by DNS TLD country codes or translation country codes - probably TLD -> uk?) > Does anyone have any contact with whoever set this up on planetmirror? Not needed. If there is no-one from this list or the user list who has access to the old link, just make a new mirror somewhere else where someone does have access. There's no limit to the number of mirrors. > Can we poke them to see if they can get it updating again? Or remove > it.... If it's not updated, it'll be redirected just as soon as there is a replacement.
