Subject: moving maven repository to mirrors.ibiblio.org
Hello,
I was wondering if someone on the Maven group could contact me? I'd
like to move the maven and maven2 repositories to mirrors.ibiblio.org.
This should provide better response for you as mirrors' load is typically
very low, and should help balance out the traffic on our web cluster.
mirrors.ibiblio.org offers http, ftp, and rsync as you are accustomed to
using now, and http redirects should(?) make this transparent for http
users. I think we'll have to use a small text file to point ftp users to
the new location. I would like to do this with as little imposition as
possible to you, the Maven group, and your users, but your archive is VERY
popular, and really does belong on our mirrors server.
What say you?
p.s. http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-mirror-settings.html
lists ibiblio.org as the primary repository, which is fine, but ibiblio
also hosts ftp.ggi-project.org (or at least, their DNS still points to
ibiblio) and ibiblio.net. You may want to remove them from your mirror
list?
thank you, 919.962.5646 w

|Is mirrors.ibiblio.org balancing the load on the mirrors?
I should have phrased that differently, sorry. Maven is one of the most
heavily-used sites in our web cluster, while mirrors.ibiblio.org is under-
utilized, and as a file repository, the ibiblio Maven archive really
belongs there. mirrors.ibiblio.org is not load-balanced, no. It's just a
stand-alone box.
|Will you leave www.ibiblio.org/maven and www.ibiblio.org/maven2 as
|redirects to the new location?
Yes, and we will be happy to leave the data in place for several months.
My primary goal is to drive the bulk of the traffic to the mirror server.
|We need to check for maven1 users that still point there, but for
|maven2 is fine as they already use repo1.maven.org as central
It looks like we'll need to update the RewriteBase in your .htaccess
file, or we could do some additional redirecting in the Apache conf file.
I'd rather do the former, unless you've got one .htaccess file you push
out to all of your repositories?

I have updated the scripts. So we now use mirrors.ibiblio.org and
have you copied our keys over?

I will take a look and let you know. Ideally we would like to mirror
this content and not have to burden the mirror providers with having
to change much if anything.

Updated.

Starting with the next release of Maven 1.x we will be able to
control the default repositories and their use from Maven itself.
Folks should not have to update any configuration.

Hi Carlos,
I've copied the maven and maven2 repositories into their new locations
on mirrors.ibiblio.org, and have created rsync modules on that server.
We'll leave the old content in their old locations for a while. I think
we need three things to happen:
1) The maven folks (Brett?) update their 4-hourly rsync script to update
/export/mirrors/maven and /export/mirrors/maven2 instead of /public/html
2) do we need to update the .htaccess files, which expect a RewriteBase
of /maven, which will become /pub/mirrors/maven on mirrors.ibiblio.org.
Or we could simply throw a symlink on mirrors.ibiblio if you have one
.htaccess file that you push out to all of your mirrors?
3) We need to update this page to point to the new location:
http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-mirror-settings.html
(note that ggi-project.org and ibiblio.net are both on ibiblio.org)
3.5) Maybe send out a note to some of the Maven lists noting the change
in repositories? Or is that overkill

Hi, some questions
Is mirrors.ibiblio.org balancing the load on the mirrors?
Will you leave www.ibiblio.org/maven and www.ibiblio.org/maven2 as
redirects to the new location?
We need to check for maven1 users that still point there, but for
maven2 is fine as they already use repo1.maven.org as central
Thanks
