How to Become a Mozdev Mirror

We need help distributing the software developed on mozdev.org. If you have access to a well-connected site in some part of the world we need your support.

It's easy to become a mirror site. We only have the following requirements:

• Allocate at least 10 GB to the mirror.
• Carry the complete folder, with no "local" changes in your http document root.
• Make sure your mime.types file is properly configured.
• Check for updates every day, preferably at least four times a day. Every hour would even be better.
• Look at the region list and note which areas you are willing to serve (or as a global default)
• Subscribe to the mailing list for mirror maintainers.
• Send an mail to the list letting us know your the following:
  1. mirror location
  2. supported protocols (http, ftp, rsync)
  3. contact address for the mirror
  4. supported regions (and/or global default)
  5. how frequently you sync

The download repository is available via anonymous rsync. Try this command:

rsync --delete -Lprtvz rsync.mozdev.org::mozdev /path/to/local/mirror

Don't hesitate to email the list if you have any questions or suggestions.
