The site is ftp://ftp.alternative-pc.com/pub/FreeBSD/ The site works very well and is on a OC12 backbone. It is currently updating 4 times a day, but I can up that if recomended. I am currently mirroring XFree86 CERT branches distfiles doc localdists releases tools updates FreeBSD-current FreeBSD-stable And all CVS material The machine is a dual 500 with 36gb of RAID 0 10,000 RPM drives and 448mb of ram. It runs sweet and is a nice mirror (biased opinion) If you would recomend mirroring other dirs let me know. I am also running a CVSup Mirror and the WWW mirror is in the works as I type. The CVSup Mirror is at cvsup.alternative-pc.com. There are still 16gb of unused space, any recomendations appreciated.

here's "my" idea of mirroring procedures. it is far from complete or authoritative but it should help you get started. first, work out how long you plan to be a mirror for - there's not a lot of point in being a mirror for 3 months normally. contact the freebsd people to advise them you would like to become an official mirror. also CC this to the `hostmaster' for XX.freebsd.org in your country - e.g whoever looks after uk.freebsd.org, so you can be added as a ftpX.uk.freebsd.org. if you don't have any freebsd yet, it is better to talk to the other local mirrors in the UK and seed your archive from them first to avoid putting load on the master freebsd server and transatlantic links. you'll also find it's much faster seeding from a mirror in your region assuming your networking makes this possible. determine how much you plan to mirror - you might need to break it up into smaller chunks - when i was trying to use `mirror' and the whole freebsd archive it started chewing > 80M of memory to build up the file lists. determine your mirror tool at this point - there are a number of them now that might be suitable. mirror.pl (2.9) written by lee mcloughlin (oops if i didn't spell that right) is still the most popular and considered the "reference mirror tool" that uses ftp. you can also look at rsync to mirror with, but be aware the master freebsd server doesn't support rsync, so you will always be mirroring from a 2nd tier mirror (hopefully sunsite.org.uk?) in your country - not always a bad thing. if you decide you'd also like to be a mirror of the website, you will need to install CVSup and use it to suck down the latest tree of the web site. once you've done all this planning - you should just be able to start mirroring. you can then announce it once complete to a number of places. if you are in a hurry, i advise doing a smaller mirror breakup - it's more work, but you get going faster to be useful, e.g mirror all the releases, then mirror the package trees, then mirror everything else. hope this helps. -jason To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hubs" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hubs Tue Aug 29 9:21: 8 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-hubs@freebsd.org Received: from intrinsic.kellogg.nwu.edu (intrinsic.kellogg.nwu.edu [129.105.197.204]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 69A0237B423 for ; Tue, 29 Aug 2000 09:21:07 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (jason@localhost) by intrinsic.kellogg.nwu.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id LAA00363 for ; Tue, 29 Aug 2000 11:29:57 -0500 (CDT) (envelope-from jason@intrinsic.kellogg.nwu.edu) Date: Tue, 29 Aug 2000 11:29:56 -0500 (CDT) From: "Jason D.

I have already setup my mirror and it is running good. Just from little tidbits I have snipped from e-mails flying around, I have caught that 50gb is recomended and that it is your responsibility to figure out how to set it all up. I work in a place where we mirror the NetBSD and OpenBSD distributions and I just can't figure out why it is such a problem to get a free mirror running also. Basicaly, here are the requirements I have gathered. My mirror is at happyland.alternative-pc.com 50gb A perminent machine build your mirror get it listed yourself through hostmaster@freebsd.org I hope this helps, scotth@netreach.net ****I wonder if someone actualy reads this list that has any power to get mirrors listed???**** -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-hubs@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-hubs@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Jason D.

That's basically since this list is mainly that of people running mirrors, not of people responsible for entering them into DNS. Your best bet is to contact the administrator of your country's domain (like, for Germany, it would be hostmaster@de.freebsd.org, i think the US domains are maintained by hostmaster@freebsd.org). -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
