i'm looking for the newest image file and http://dl.metrix.net/support/dist/
seems to be down. did i miss a notice on this? is there another
location that i can get the newest img? thanks for the distro, i've
found it to be excellent.

Yes the site is down and should be back up within the week. The
location that the files are hosted at is in the process of a rebuild
after having some issue in the last month. Be patient and it will be
back soon. If there is someone willing to host a mirror this can be
prevented in the future.

understood. thanks. do you have any bandwidth usage history? min, max,
and avg should be sufficient. i may be able to put my hands on some
mirror locations.

thanks again

What do you require for/from a mirror site?

Here is the thing, I found out there is no known usage stats
available. The site admin is willing to do rsync to the mirrors. Now I
need to speak with him about how to do the name resolutions if it
should be mirror.pyramid.metrix.net or pyramid.yoursite.net or
purchase pyramid-linux.com and name the mirrors mirror1.pyramid-
linux.com

Any input?

i have a couple of options available to me, each w/ its own set of
considerations. i'm the sysadmin for the university of mississippi
fieldstation and as such have direct access to servers under the
baysprings.olemiss.edu domain. it would be trivial to setup
pyramid.baysprings.olemiss.edu. the issue w/ that solution is that all
my boxes are all here, at the fieldstation, which is out in the middle
of nowhere w/ only a t1's worth of bandwidth. i have no problem w/
giving up the bandwidth, its just not going to be the fastest mirror.
the second option is to go talk to the nice folks at the CS department
and see if they are willing to host a mirror. they have lots of
bandwidth but i'll have to rely on their admin to set the mirror up.

if a t1 will be sufficient, i'd prefer to host it out here so i don't
have to call in any favors. as far as the naming/dns goes, the 2nd
option is preferrable. the university is ticky about non olemiss.edu
domain names pointing to ole miss ip space.

Hello,

Ialto is currently hosting an Eclipse mirror (http://eclipse.ialto.org, http & ftp protocols, server: Intel Core 2 Duo T7200, 3Gb RAM, 2x500GB HD Raid, 100Mb/s bw, about 5-6 Tb output / month, daily update with Rsync).

I can add a Pyramid subdomain (ex. http://pyramid.ialto.org, ialto being visible in the url) if you are interested in having a mirror hosted in France.

Best regards,

I realize I'm replying to a rather old thread, but I just did a git-
svn clone of the Pyramid SVN tree, using the following:

git svn clone http://pyramid.metrix.net/svn/Pyramid/ -T dist -b
branches -t tags

I also pulled the PXE tree, which only seems to have a few revisions.

When gc'd into one pack file, the .git directory with all the history
is 35 megs. Not bad. It should be pretty simple for someone to put
it up on github or repo.or.cz, or the like. I'll leave that for the
people in charge of the project to actually do, though.

Thanks for Pyramid, by the way. It's very useful for me.
