Mirror daryl.dostech.ca down forever?
Hi,
same "500 Can't connect to daryl.dostech.ca:80 (connect: timeout)" problem
for me as for many others, seeing the mailing archive.
But I don't understand whether this is a temporary failure or not.
My MIRRORED.BY file is:
# test mirror: zone, cached via Coral
#http://buildbot.spamassassin.org.nyud.net:8090/updatestage/
http://daryl.dostech.ca/sa-update/asf/ weight=5
http://www.sa-update.pccc.com/ weight=5
I tried to manually run 'sa-update --refreshmirrors', but the file remained
the same. What could I do? Should I modify manually the file?
Delete the 'daryl.dostech.ca' line? Alter the 'weight' value?
Thank in advance

Seems all is OK again: my last nightly cron job exit successfully.
Thank you!

in THEORY, if you have at least ONE working mirror, it will pull a new
MIRRORED.BY each time, so you should not be blocked unless all mirrors
are down.
I don't think you need to run --refreshmirrors, unless sa-update fails.
I have a script that if it sees rc=4, it pulls a new GPG key, or rc=2,
erases MIRRORED.BY and then runs sa-update again.
(if sa-update can't find MIRRORED.BY, it automatically pulls a new one)
and, if sa-update RUNS, it pulls a new MIRRORED.BY.
so, if you want to manually tweak things (not really necessary unless
you really want to save the timeout on a broken mirror), you edit
MIRRORED.BY JUST BEFORE calling sa-update.
be careful: daryl will be up and running soon, and if you edit them
out, and the other mirror(s) are down, ..
just saying, that the only time you will get a total failure is when all
mirrors are down, and tweaking the file won't help anyway.
be patient.. it takes a little time to set up, test, QA and make sure
any new mirror is up and running before adding it to the rotation.
