Subject: A call for kernel.org mirrors
Date: 16 Dec 1998 02:16:18 GMT

Hi everyone,

I know it is late, but I have been very occupied with some other
concerns; some of which are kernel.org related.

I would like to set up an "official mirror" system for kernel.org.
"Official" means a set of mirrors that are willing to:

1. Have a contact person on file;
2. Allow public access;
3. Update their mirror via rsync or FTP at least daily (privileged
   access will be provided to participating hosts);
4. Mirror all of /pub/linux and /pub/software (either .gz or .bz2
   files may be excluded at your option); 
4. Participate in a

	ftp://ftp.<locality>.mirrors.kernel.org/kernel.org/
	http://www.<locality>.mirrors.kernel.org/kernel.org/

   uniform URL (via roundrobin CNAME DNS) scheme.  The exact spec for
   the uniform URL is not set in stone at this point, but probably
   will be in the next few days.

If you are interested in participating, please subscribe to the
<mirrors@linux.kernel.org> mailing list; the goal is to have this
system operational by the time 2.2 hits the wire.

Sincerely,

	-hpa
