Hi!

I am trying to follow the instructions on 
https://wiki.openmandriva.org/en/Mirroring in order to announce our 
new OpenMandriva mirror, but the workshop team contact link 
http://ml.openmandriva.org/listinfo.cgi does not seem to be working.

After a bit of searching I found this email address/list that might be 
reaching the correct people, if not please pass this on to the correct 
place.

Anyhow:

Academic Computer Club, Umeå University, Sweden, hereby announces the 
intent to provide a mirror of OpenMandriva.

ftp.acc.umu.se enjoys 20 Gbps dedicated connectivity through SUNET, 
providing good connectivity to Sweden and also the rest of the Nordics 
and most of Europe via NORDUnet peering.

We pull twice daily from
rsync://mirror.yandex.ru/openmandriva/


* HTTP base URL:

http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/openmandriva.org/

* FTP:

Yes, but do not publish a clickable link. The cluster is highly 
optimised for http, users requiring ftp can usually figure it out due 
to the host name.

* rsync base URL:

rsync://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/openmandriva.org/

* Contact email
ftp-adm at acc.umu.se


*NOTE*

ftp.acc.umu.se is an alias pointing to the available frontends at the 
time. When using MirrorBrain you might have to explicitly tell it to 
NOT resolve the ftp.acc.umu.se name into components, or problems will 
ensue when we change the setup.

*NOTE2*

Our setup uses HTTP redirects to offload requests to specific offload 
hosts, the mirror status checking mechanism needs to allow redirects 
and not treat them as errors. It is also important to NOT cache the 
URLs resulting from the redirects, end users should always be served 
the ftp.acc.umu.se host name.


On behalf of the ftp.acc.umu.se admins,


/Nikke
