[ubuntu-mythtv] We're almost ready for RC

[Mito Tranin]

I was talking with you and setup rsync to pull on us-ca2.cdimages last night
via irc, and did a total resync at that point.  I also have it setup to run
daily at midnight (GMT -8).  I do not have the --delete option in place,
however.

My opinion though, is that there should never be a delete option in an
open-source distribution mirror.  If it's been released, it should be there.
I have never liked it when I went to download a file for a previous release,
and it's no longer there because it's not the current version.  If it's
released, let it stay released.

Also, it's already getting pretty messy in the mirror directory, and due to
the spelling changes in the releases, they are already not in chronological
order due to alphabetical sorting.  This isn't a huge deal, but I still
think it'd be nice to put in some directory structure into the mirror
layout.  Just something simple, like a dir for the major version numbers,
and a dir inside of there with the platform, with the files inside of there.
Then have another dir in the root that contains a simlink to all 4 "current"
files (ie mythbuntu-current-amd64.iso points to
mythbuntu-7.10-rc-amd64.iso).

This way, the "current" dir is always nice and clean, only containing one
symlink for each current file, the others are organized.

Thoughts?
Mike

Folks,

It's been a long stressful week across the board.  We're about ready to go
live
with our RC to announce on Friday.

We now have both a push and a pull method in place.  If your mirror isn't
setup
yet for either, please respond and lets get you on one of them.

As far as I know the only ones setup already are

push:
us-az.cdimages
us-mi.cdimages

pull:
osuosl.cdimages

n/a:
uk.cdimages (This is the master distribution site)

So remaining we need to get everyone else setup.  From my count off the top
of
my head that means we need:

cdimages.
uz-tx.cdimages
us-ca.cdimages
us-ca2.cdimages

Sorry if I missed anyone, but anyone else that we have, get things setup
still!

For those of you that want to be pushed to, get me or ben dailey the
details.
For those of you that want to pull, here is the rsync info:

rsync -rtlpvH uk.cdimages.mythbuntu.org::www/ /data/ftp/.2/mythbuntu/

No need to sync more than once a day.  Images won't be changing more than a
few
times a month, but the dates aren't in stone yet.

Kind Regards,
