The distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr mirror has not been synced for 5 days. Please someone contact them. This is pretty urgent as many mirrors depend on this specific mirror.
Everybody can contact the server admin. The contact adress is directly on the front page!

Blog and forum, and discuss ml posts should go out explaining that the problem. People should be warned to check https://mirrors.mageia.org/status for a mirror that is syncing. Once they pick one to use, they can remove their current sources with "urpmi.removemedia -a" (as root) and then add a specific mirror https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Installing_and_removing_software#Adding_a_specific_Media_Mirror

It would be good if the various Mageia tools that update packages (e.g. mgaapplet, rpmdrake) were able to detect if a repository is out of date. Maybe the tools could look for a TIMESTAMP file in the repositories that is updated daily even if there are no new package updates, and warn the user if the repository is too out-of-date. The warning message could suggest using another up-to-date mirror, possibly with some usability features like showing a list of up-to-date mirrors and a button to use the selected mirrors.

This is a too frequent problem for this important functionality. More than once a year more than one mirror have some problem. There was a proposal Bug 27623 - Fallback mirrors

since the mirror of free seems to resist, a temporarily solution is to add to /etc/yum.repos.d/mageia-x86_64.repo the uncommented line: baseurl=http://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/mageia.org/distrib/9/x86_64/media/core/<release, updates>/ and the same for nonfree, tainted, i586 ... where the line above must be adapted to the different cases it works well as long as the free mirror will be functional
compare to ubuntu mirrors: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors
There are a lot of open bugs on that topic: https://bugs.mageia.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=mirror We need more permanent solution. Like the one in bug 17400 or similar.

we have to many mirrors using distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr as master (and it is not the first time it failed) how can we prevent mirrors syncing from out of date mirrors or switching to a working one? can mirrorbrain provide a sync link for a protocol too, so it chooses an update mirror for sync? btw ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de uses "distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr" too as a source - the status page is not correct. Thankfully we were not hit by xz-issue, as many would not get our updates at the moment.
I wonder if we not have again an issue like the ibiblio.org https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30089#c28 ?
I don't understand: some mirrors, as https://mageia.c3sl.ufpr.br/ and some others, are marked as being out of use since 2024-04-02 at 9:28 p.m.; it's impossible, since today, april, 3rd at 1:00 p.m. Paris time, they were green thank for explanation

When a mirror shows "Less than 2 days old", it does NOT mean it's been 12 to 48 hours since it last synced. The status is based on the age of the last package that was synced, not when the last check for updates occurred. If a repo has no updates for 12 hours, and then an update is built, then all mirrors immediately become orange in status as the date/time of the hdlist and package files that it has are at least 12 hours old. It will turn green again as soon as the mirror syncs that repo again. It works this way because the status page uses the date/time of the files on the mirrors. It does NOT check the log on the main server to see when a mirror last checked for updates. Using the log on the main server would only be possible for the tier 1 mirrors. As the logs on the tier 1 mirrors are not accessible, it can not be done that way for other mirrors. For simplicity, the status of all mirrors is based on the age of the hdlist files on the mirror.

it looks like the server started syncing again. https://mirrors.mageia.org/status it is not up-to-date yet
it seems that coffee-jussieu.ipsl out of synch again
where is gone the distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr mirror? it no loger appear in the list of mageia's mirrors
distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr is back and green
