Request to mirror Termux-Pacman repos (reopenings)

[Maxython]

COSI-Lab/go-mirror#65

[carykees98]

Apologies that we never got to adding Termux-Pacman to the other repo, we were in the process of rewriting the software and hadn't been looking at new issues. We are currently experiencing issues with syncing over rsync, however as soon as those issues are resolved we will start mirroring Termux-Pacman.

Thank you for the request!

Hi @Maxython,
Sorry this has taken so long. I have queued termux-pacman up to sync on our testing environment and assuming there are no issues I'll deploy it to our public mirror. In the meantime do you have a logo for the project you would like us to display, and how often would you like us to update our mirrored copy? Thanks!

termux-pacman is now being synced 4x per day at mirror.clarkson.edu/termux-pacman/ over http(s) and rsync

Hello @aHalliday13, thanks for the ping.

do you have a logo for the project you would like us to display

The classic logo of the Termux-Pacman project:

how often would you like us to update our mirrored copy

It's desirable (at a minimum) for your mirror to update 1-2 times a day. However, if for technical reasons you have to maintain a long update interval, but your updates are stable, then this "requirement" is no longer valid. I'm not too strict on this topic; the most important thing is that your mirror copies the actual database signatures.

Excellent, thank you very much.

As the maintainer of Termux-Pacman, I have one question: would you mind if I included your mirror by default in pacman's mirrorlist so that it could be used immediately after updating the mirrorlist?

[aHalliday13]

You can absolutely add us to the mirrorlist. Unless there's anything else may I close this issue as resolved? Thanks!

I forgot to ask about contacts: could you tell me which email should be used to notify you about technical work in the Termux-Pacman rsync service (or about other important news that may affect mirroring)?

Thanks again, the issue can be closed as resolved.

No problem, you can put mirroradmin@clarkson.edu as the contact email
