Re: [fink-core] Criteria (both man and machine) for a replacement for the mirror volunteer? Re: [Fink-users] Is Fink alive? (fwd)

2019-03-16 Thread Justin Hallett 
Just to be clear, the master mirror is still 100% functional, the DNS zone has 
been removed and we are trying to restore it.

That being said more mirrors are always welcome and in the fink git there is a 
scripts repo, it contains everything to mirror and run bindists and distfiles 
mirrors.

Sorry for the delay in passing this on.  I’ve been in a major crunch at work 
for a couple of weeks and list moderation fell by the wayside.

[fink-core] Criteria (both man and machine) for a replacement for the mirror volunteer? Re: [Fink-users] Is Fink alive? (fwd)

2019-03-16 Thread Glenn Forbes Fleming Larratt 

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.

  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

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

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.

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,
