Continued maintenance of Mirrorbrain
Added by bcooksley@kde.org over 3 years ago.

Description
Good morning SUSE Admins,
We (at KDE) currently operate two Mirrorbrain instances for our
download.kde.org and files.kde.org networks and have been concerned for a
while now about the maintenance state of the Mirrorbrain project.
From our understanding, sometime in the past year you've adopted the
project and have done a substantial amount of work updating it and
generally fixing things up.
Would it be possible for you to share some of the details on this?
Many thanks,
Ben Cooksley

Thanks for those details.
Based on what I can see it looks like you've done quite a bit of work on improving Mirrorbrain already.
Does this include switching over the the legacy GeoIP to the new MMDB format? From what I can see you're still using geoiplookup and friends...
It looks like your packages for the current branch you run at the moment at least depend on mod_maxminddb.
(We had part of our Mirrorbrain installation break recently due to a mirror moving to an IP range that the old GeoIP.dat file we were still using didn't have an entry for)

Hi Ben,
I switched our instance (download.o.o) over to the new maxmind format quite a while back, June last year. See https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/50633
It's only a matter of using the maxmind apache module and mapping some variables. I think Darix changed that setup later though.
Thanks for confirming that - I expected the Apache side of it to be pretty straight forward.
Did you also update the Mirrorbrain tooling, which shells out to geoiplookup (and associated friends such as geoiplookup_continent)? (You can see those calls in /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mb/geoip.py)

Nope, I didn't touch any of that, but it looks like the latest mirrorbrain package (mirrorbrain-tools-2.19.3-lp152.12.1.x86_64) did.

Hi there - and a Happy and Healthy 2022!
I'm currently closing old tickets which did not see much change.
If the main concern still exists and should be handled, please re-open by just replying to this Email.
Thanks in advance,
Lars
