Requirements

The following are the draft requirements for an official gNewSense archive mirror:

1. At least a 10Mbit uplink (preferably 100Mbit+)
2. Must be able to handle http://*.gnewsense.org/gnewsense/*
3. Must update regulary (still uncertain, at least daily)

Note that serving the ISOs is optional.

The apache vhost config for this is:

 <Vhost *:80>
 ServerName some.dns.name
 ServerAlias *.gnewsense.org
 DocumentRoot /path/to/docroot
 </Vhost> 

CD mirrors

1. At least a 10Mbit uplink (preferably 100Mbit+)
2. Must update daily
3. Only required to have the latest release and tarball

Details

Our rysnc server is rsync://rsync.archive.gnewsense.org/gnewsense

The CD images are located at rsync://rsync.archive.gnewsense.org/gnewsense/gnewsense/cdimage

Structure

Our current mirror structure is similar to Ubuntu. Users' sources.list will contain lines like http://XX.archive.gnewsense.org and http://XX.security.gnewsense.org where XX is a country code.

All repositry mirrors will be given a CNAME under archive.gnewsense.org which the XX.archive will then point to.
