Hej, MirrorCache is a redirector service which redirects download requests to a closest mirror for a user. It is used so far in openSUSE and internal SUSE infrastructure. E.g. mirrorcache.opensuse.org
Are you interested in setting up such a service for packman? So e.g. when a request comes from Czech Republic to links2linux.de/download/%1 , it will be automatically redirected to http://mirror.karneval.cz/pub/linux/packman/%1 (assuming that the mirror has the file), etc. MirrorCache also honors http/https protocols, can provide metalinks, monitors state of mirrors, provides download statistics and has additional plans for reports and new features. I can assist in setting up the environment and the best effort support, granting that you provide hosting and ssh access. For a pilot it will need like 4-8G machine with openSUSE(*) and 20-40G disk. Preferably it should have access to the original files on disk or through nfs, but it is not required. 1 CPU should be enough, but depending on traffic and amount of files - it may need 2 in future. Let me know what you think, Regards, Andrii Nikitin _______________________________________________ Packman mailing list [email protected] https://lists.links2linux.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/packman
