Description stx123 2002-01-16 21:16:21 UTC 
To support the establishment of Sun/CollabNet external mirrors we need the 
appropriate mechanism.
AFAIK usage of rsync over ssh2 from master to mirror is in discussion (push).
I can think of rsync over ssh2 from mirror also (pull), which is preferred by 
some mirrors.
Comment 1 lsuarezpotts 2002-01-21 18:26:50 UTC 
I already filed issue # 1 on the extranet, but will continue with this one.
We would like:
1. pull rsync from a central location (sf1.mirror, say)
2. no ssh2 required; md5sums should be adequate.

best,
Louis

> 2. no ssh2 required; md5sums should be adequate.
rsync is able to asure data integrity by "--checksum".

I've submitted an internal issue (PCN7649) for our operations team. 
I'm still working on what we have to do internally and what the
timeframe might be.

Changing this to a TASK.
Comment 5 Unknown 2002-02-21 00:58:13 UTC 
Louis and I met with the instantiation engineer and the operations
engineer this afternoon, and we've come up with a plan for
implementing this.  Louis needs to get some info from each of the
volunteer mirrors (incl. IP address of the mirror), and then we'll
turn this over to operations for implementation.
Comment 6 Unknown 2002-03-12 18:48:21 UTC 
We've sent the list to the operations group.
Comment 7 Unknown 2002-03-15 16:29:15 UTC 
I've heard from louis and the operations folks that the new mirror
system is now functioning.
Comment 8 stx123 2002-04-17 15:34:51 UTC 
Indeed, it is. Thanks
