Re: Correct contact address?

2016-01-16 Thread Carsten Otto
Dear OpenBSD admins,

it seems www@ is nonexisting, and misc@ is a list I need to subscribe to
(or at least acknowledge my own mail). This is not exactly what is what
I have in mind for a contact address that might also be used in case of
mirror emergencies. Do you have a more suitable contact address?

Best regards,
Carsten

Correct contact address?

2016-01-16 Thread Carsten Otto
Dear OpenBSD admins,

I'm an administrator of ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de, and your project is
mirrored by us.

Right now I'm preparing a clean list of projects and corresponding
contact addresses, so that we can get into touch with you more easily.

As there are a few upcoming changes, news, and questions from our side,
please make sure to **confirm/update your contact address(es)** used for
this mail, also shown below. Another mail with more actual content will
be sent around next week or so.

  w...@openbsd.org
  misc@openbsd.org

A short "OK" response would be great, and we'd be happy to update the
contact information where necessary.

Thank you very much,
Carsten

Thank you for the information regarding what to mirror and what not.

Our mirror now excludes the releases before 4.5 (so 4.5, 4.6 and 4.7 are
mirrored). Furthermore, the cvs/ and distfiles/ directories are not
mirrored. We do, however, mirror snapshots/.

Feel free to add our mirror to your list (and to the users: feel free to
use it!).

rsync://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/openbsd/

http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/pub/OpenBSD/
ftp://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/pub/OpenBSD/

Contact information: f...@halifax.rwth-aachen.de
rsync source: ftp.eu.openbsd.org
update interval: 6 hours
connection speed: 2 GBit/sec (will be extended to 10 GBit/sec soon)
hosting: RWTH Aachen University, Germany

Dear all,

I did write to www@ initially and got no response. Furthermore, someone
in some IRC channel told me _this_ list is the appropriate place for
this matter. Without proper information on the mirror site it is not
that obvious how to talk about mirror stuff.

It seems there is a lot of discussion about problems that seem not to
appear with other projects. I do not want to take part in these
discussions. Therefore I offer the following solution (which is a
solution from my point of view, yours may differ):

 - I offer as much storage as you want (in reasonable limits), the
   current size of about 800 GByte is fine with me.
 - Clarify what data should be mirror by _my_ mirror (your choice!).
 - If possible, focus on data that is useful. We offer the mirror to
   help people download data they need, not as an archive solution for
   data which is not needed by the users.
 - Tell me where I can get this data using rsync (preferably fast).

I will await your answers in this matter. Until then the content at
http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/openbsd/ (and all the other addresses)
remains as it is right now.

new mirror: ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de

2010-05-26 Thread Carsten Otto
Dear OpenBSD team,

we offer a new mirror for your project, hosted at RWTH Aachen University
in Germany:

http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/openbsd/
ftp://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/openbsd/
rsync://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/openbsd/

Of course, we also offer OpenBSD at these addresses, as requested:
http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/pub/OpenBSD/
ftp://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/pub/OpenBSD/

The mirror is offering everything we could find and we consider to also
provide access to your "distfiles" in the near future.

We currently offer 2 GBit/sec and will this extend to 10 GBit/sec soon.

I still do not have all the data the project offers and do not know
where to sync from. Sadly, the mirrors on
http://www.openbsd.org/ftp.html#rsync do not offer the same data set
(and all of them are quite slow). Could you give me access to a
 - complete
 - fast
 - primary?
mirror? If you have ACLs, please add 137.226.34.42.

More information can be found at http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de
