Re: Bad Link in Cygwin Mirrors Page--changed but why rsync dropped?


L Anderson wrote:

On the Cygwin mirrors page "http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html";, under "North America: Palo Alto", the link locations are as follows:



Now: "locations were as follows:"


    ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/
    http://mirrors.kernel.org/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/
    rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/


Now: The http and rsync links have been removed.


Question: Why are the rsync links disappearing as Cygwin mirrors; especially since using rsync to mirror Cygwin is cleaner than fussing with either ftp or http?


Thanks,


L Anderson

The ftp and http links both work but the rsync link gives a rsync error because "sources.redhat.com" has been changed to "sourceware". Changing the rsync link to either of:

    rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/
or
    rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin/

works as does changing them all to:

    ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin/
    http://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin/
    rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin/
