Developers, Can anyone assist this person? Are there any other mirrors of the MinGW website? I am guessing that apart from the htdocs they would need to run some of the cron jobs. As for the wiki it doesn't seem very practical to mirror it, and even if it is possible it would be read-only.

I guess we don't want to discourage anyone from providing a mirror. What to we need to do, to allow this to happen? Regards, Keith. |

Hey, > I guess we don't want to discourage anyone from providing a mirror. > What to we need to do, to allow this to happen? I would assume it would just be mirroring the HTML content, images and scripts. Since SourceForge hosts the downloads and the source data for the scripts, mirroring it would be a non-starter.

I have written a separate e-mail to Liu Yue to offer help in Chinese. And I guess that he wants to mirror at least the binaries also. BTW, owing to job switch I have unsubscribed from the MinGW users list. However, I will remain here. If I find enough time, I will join the users list again.

I understand that pressure of work can force one to curtail such activities, but I hope we will be able to welcome you back, before too long. Best regards, Keith. |

Even the job switch itself is largely due to another big change in my personal life: I shall be a father of twins in a month. So I really need to spend more and earn more for my family. Since I have not worked in the new company (Intel) yet, I do not know the policy regarding Open Source mailing lists yet. However, I am afraid at least I will soon be unable to spend much time after work on the computer :-). Thanks for your encouragement. I shall return. ;-) Best regards, Yongwei |

He also wants to use rsync. I told him the problems with the wiki and with the links to the main Sourceforge site. And anybody knows how to sync the files under http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/ easily? Best regards, Yongwei |

After some discussion, he realized the technical difficulties behind --- he thought the site could be easily mirrored with rsync. And his initiative started because his access to http://www.mingw.org/ is slow (while I cannot access it at all; and both of us can visit http://mingw.sourceforge.net/ quickly --- he had not known the latter before I told him), and he read the following information in the download page: http://mingw.sourceforge.net/download.shtml#hdr3 (BTW, the `mirror' listed there does not seem to work.) And now he is willing to mirror only the download, which I think is quite feasible. Do you know of easy ways (e.g., somewhere to rsync)? Best regards, Yongwei |

The DB would need to be exported so that it could be imported. Would be work for someone to provide the file. Earnie |
