I have set up a local instance of mirrorbrain on my development machine which is running as download.localvm.sugarlabs.org . Peter Pöml the lead developer from mirrorbrain has offer to review my installation notes on Monday Bernie, If you could set up a vm running ubuntu 9.04 (or what ever sunjammer is running ) I belive that we can have download.testing.sugarlabs.org running by tomorrow evening. Mirrorbrain might not be the correct answer for sugarlabs.

But wouldn't this be a duplication of what services like Cacheboy and Mirrorbrain already do? I don't see roundrobin as a solution. (details below) CacheBoy would be the solution if: - one or more for could join cacheboy - if/when cacheboy is open source Since the mirror do have delta's in the path Mirrorbrain would the current solution.

It would not solve it. http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/snapshots/3/SoaS3-200908182110.iso http://download2.sugarlabs.org/soas/snapshots/3/SoaS3-200908182110.iso http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/software/sugarlabs/soas/snapshots/3/SoaS3-200908182110.iso http://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/Sugar/soas/snapshots/3/SoaS3-200908182110.iso http://sugarlabs.cdn.cacheboy.net/soas/snapshots/3/SoaS3-200908182110.iso so 3 out of 5 match, it does not look very promising when grow to more mirrors. Thats why I like the CacheBoy solution. cheers, Marten -- this email is sent from my mainframe. http://martenvijn.nlSugar on a Stick http://bsd.wifisoft.org/nek/The Network Event Kit http://opencommunitycamp.org 26th Jul - 2nd August ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

I've set up a small Ubuntu 9.04 VM for you to start testing. You should be able to log in as dfarn...@mirrorbrain.sugarlabs.org . You have sudo with no password. Mirrorbrain might not be the correct answer for sugarlabs. But at it would give us a starting point. Indeed.
