mirror at wisc.edu

mirror at wisc.edu

[John G. Heim]

My friend in the Division of Info Technology here at the University of 
Wisconsin has agreed to add speakup to his mirror. He says he's downloading 
stuff right now.  He also said he emailed the folks at speakup.org to make 
sure it's okay.

At any rate, it was easy to get someone to agree to mirror the speakup 
files.  So I hope it's okay with the speakup folks.

The address for the mirror is mirror.services.wisc.edu. That's a slightly 
different address than the one I gave earlier. We actually have 2 mirrors 
administered by 2 different groups.

I can let the list know of the complete URL when it's completely ready. But 
I'm sure there will be a link to it on the home page so if you go to 
http://mirror.services.wisc.edu tomorrow or the next day, you'll probably 
be able to find it.

This is fabulous news. Has no one actually commented on this in the past
week since you posted? Somehow that doesn't seem right.

I see Speakup at this site grouped under 'distributions,' which sounds
appropriate to me! <grin> It sems there's a lot still missing, but once
fully mirrored it should prove fairly easy to maintain.

Can you tickle these folks again? The mirroring process did not
complete. It died on Oct 16 and has not restarted (judging by what I can
see by going to the address).

The fact of the matter is that getting a copy of the Speakup tree is a
task that requires some patience and oversight. If it were not for this
fact, we wouldn't be looking for a mirror in the first place.
Fortunately, maintaining the mirror should prove much easier, once the
initial copy is obtained and verified.

I got an email from the admin at wisc.edu and they said the mirror was 
taking forever.

Of course it's taking forever. Did anyone expect differently?

The problem is that the mirroring process died on Oct 16 and has not
been restarted. I just checked.
