>From my understanding of Justin's email... The ASF is not looking for people to mirror the apache web sites so change your rsync script to point fo apache-dist as this is specific to the distributions directory on the apache server.Then under distributions you can either all or or ignore the following drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 30 2002 CVS -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 532 May 30 2002 HEADER.html drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Nov 28 19:23 ant drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Sep 12 11:11 apr drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Oct 20 10:47 httpd drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 5 2001 jakarta drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 5 2001 java drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 21 16:37 perl drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 20 2001 tcl drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Dec 6 07:25 xml The above is a directory copy+paste from my local mirror which currently reflects everything in the apache-dist module.

Iknow that apache-dist serves all distribution files, etc.. But just out of curiosity.. what purpose does apache-site module serve now?? B/c so far I noticed that apache-site module also downloads all of distribution files.. Is apache-site module now deprecated, or does it still maintain something, but just the web site only?

Just a heads-up to all of the mirror maintainers that we're starting to see some adoption by the Jakarta and XML ASF projects into placing their files in the apache-dist rsync module. Previously, you may have rsynced from jakarta-site or other modules. We're going to try to consolidate what we want our mirrors to offer under the apache-dist module. This should ease the configuration burden on mirrors. (As a point of policy, we're not going to want mirrors of the actual websites for the forseeable future.) Therefore, you may start to see some large rsync jobs coming your way soon as each project moves their files over. Furthermore, we're going to be encouraging more use of the mirrors on our web sites. This will take some time to complete the transition, but hopefully, we're starting to see real progress. Our goal is to offload as much of the download traffic as we can to your sites. If this is going to be a problem, let us know and we'll remove you from our mirrors listing. We realize that we haven't been efficiently using our mirrors in the past, but we're going to be asking more of your sites now. Of course, we hope you will continue to act as official ASF mirrors. And, thanks for helping us out! Also, I've been informed that there are some mirrors that are not picking up these recent changes. You should now have a ant directory in your local mirror. If you do not have that directory, please check up on your rsync processes. If you need further assistance, reply to this list and we can help you out. Thanks! -- justin
