Dear openSUSE Mirror Hosts,

Thank you for your continued hosting of openSUSE Mirrors.

While recently resolving an issue with rsync.opensuse.org we realised that a significant number of you are
using rsync.opensuse.org as your content source.

rsync.opensuse.org is meant to be a publicly available mirror host, but as registered hosts on this mailing
list, you are entitled to use stage.opensuse.org, our dedicated mirror host for you.

This server not only provides access to pre-release content, but is the authoritative source for all openSUSE
content, including rsync.opensuse.org.

As registered mirrors, please configure your sync cronjobs to use stage.opensuse.org instead of
rsync.opensuse.org.

This is particularly important for mirrors hosting openSUSE Tumbleweed (formerly known as Factory) which has a
higher rate of change.

While I'm mentioning Tumbleweed, if you are hosting a Tumbleweed mirror, please consider ensuring your sync
cronjobs run more often than once every 24 hours.

Also, if you are not running a Tumbleweed mirror, please consider altering your configuration to do so.
Tumbleweed is more and more a key offering of the openSUSE Project and we really could benefit from more
Tumbleweed mirrors.

Compared to the "opensuse-full" module the addition of Tumbleweed will take approximately 60GB more disk space
with an estimated rate of change of ~5GB per day (with a 'worst-case' rate of change being 60GB which occurs
once or twice a year).

You can achieve this by altering your sync cronjob to use the "opensuse-full-with-factory" rsync module.

This request is part of an ongoing program of improvements including increased bandwidth for
stage.opensuse.org expected on 1st March (doubling) & 1st June (4x more, 8x current)
If you are experiencing problems with stage.opensuse.org performance, please let us know, especially after the
above dates.
Your ongoing feedback & support will help us shape and tune these improvements as we go forward.

Seems a mail from Philip was lost

the mirror is successfully synced and the cron job is running - so the server is kept in sync

The server can thus be enabled in MB (rsync is also allowed to the server, so MB can validate the content)

Hi, i allowed you to sync from stage.opensuse.org

if you have run the syncs please ping us, so we can enter you to the
mirrorbrain list.

Thank you, the initial sync is completed and our cronjob is now active.

Can we test if the files wich are not yet public also don't show up on
our mirror?

Kind regards,
Philipp

Hi,

I'm wondering if there are any problems with our mirror as it seems to be not yet published on http://mirrors.opensuse.org/

Kind regards,
Philipp
