Description Marja Van Waes 2017-01-19 10:14:49 CET

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #14717 +++
Current summary of that report: mirror size is twice the size mentioned by mirror.readme

* According to our mirror.readme, the expected mirror size is around 700GB, but
  twice that size is already needed

  In bug 14717 it is suggested to move no longer supported versions to an "old"
  directory, which mirrors won't need to have.

Apart from that:

* the list of tier 1 mirrors needs to be updated.
* imho, it would be nice to add:
  
  Check http://mirrors.mageia.org/ for the bandwidth of those servers
  Check http://mirrors.mageia.org/status for their current status

  after:
> These servers synchronise the tree directly from the Mageia rsync server.

* there are some typos (e.g. "Theses servers synchronises")

* to the instruction:
> The tree must be synchronized at least every 2 hours.
  a similar line for tier 1 mirrors may need to be added
  (on IRC pterjan told the maintainer of a new tier 1 mirror to sync at least
  once an hour and - iirc - preferably twice... more tier 1 mirrors doing that
  would be really great).

Btw, I can edit that file, I just pushed some typo fixes.

I'm willing to the changes suggested above, if you agree!

Thanks, will do later today

I hope I won't forget (again) to add this bug in the commit message.

    Typofix (mga#20140). The previous mirror.readme edits today were for that bug report, too. Sorry

I think everything was updated in mirror.readme that needed to be updated.

Closing.

Feel free to reopen if needed.
