Bug #11055 is done, so there you go. I’ll handle the fallout of my email to mirror operators when it comes to 1. allocating unique hostnames; 2. taking note of their answers; 3. adjusting the doc as needed. So basically what you need to do is to check in our mirrors.mdwn if they all provided a unique URL prefix (last column in the list of mirrors), ping them again in a week and again until we have enough updated mirrors to do the switch to the new setup.

So, all active mirrors but 5 now have a unique URI, 5 of our spare mirrors also have a unique URI, and on top of that we have another mirror that we can enable only once we’ve switched to the new setup. In short, if we switched to the new setup right now, we would have one more mirror than previously. Which means that this ticket is not really blocking anything anymore, and we can go ahead :) I’ll reflect that in Redmine-speak right now.

Still, please ping the remaining mirrors at least once or twice in a week or two, because our goal (and success metrics!) here is to have more mirrors in the end.

Given I handled the rest of the communication process, maybe it makes sense that I lead it to its end. If you prefer doing it yourself, just take it back :)

I think it makes sense to let you do the remaining bits of work indeed. If you don’t want to, please give the ticket back to me :)

Sent one last ping to the remaining 4 (2 active + 2 spare) mirrors that still haven’t adjusted to the new setup. Then I’ll give up, because mirror operators being unresponsive is a problem in itself.
