https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/operations/Infrastructure says N/A in the Maintainers column ⇒ I would ask weasel (Cc Lunar, who helps a bit on the rsync side IIRC). phobos has left the Tor project. >> Minor implementation detail: last time I checked carefully, only one >> of the two mirrors behind this hostname was serving our stuff, which >> is why (last time I checked) only one of those was in our round-robin >> pool of HTTP mirrors.

The title of that ticket doesn't reflect what I wrote above, so I wonder if I conveyed what I meant clearly enough: it's not about "how many servers are behind archive.torproject.org" (that is trivially answered by a DNS query), but about whether all of them _actually serve our stuff_. >> sajolida wrote (13 Jan 2016 11:55:33 GMT) : >>> Now I see that anonym reported #10915: "Consider publishing torrents for >>> betas and RCs" which would work great to solve the basic download >>> verification problem.

I would have said that it's about checking what needs to be done, coordinating it and making it happen :) I've had a look to help with the 1st part. Our release process doc already makes us generate a Torrent and its detached signature, even for RC:s (check for yourself: the "Generate the OpenPGP signatures and Torrents" seems to have no condition attached). It also makes us seed this Torrent unconditionally. So what needs to be done is: * in the "Update the website and Git repository" section: don't skip the Torrent publication steps when preparing a RC; also deal with cleaning RC:s' Torrent files later; indeed anonym or I would be the best placed to do that, although bertagaz should be able to do it too * on our call for testing (non-existing yet) "template": link to the Torrent, its signature, and the corresponding documentation; I guess that you (sajolida) would be better placed to handle it. _______________________________________________ Tails-dev mailing list Tails-dev@boum.org https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-dev To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to tails-dev-unsubscr...@boum.org.
