Thread: Migrating the download server




Migrating the download server

Hello all,

I have mentioned some time ago that we are experiencing
problems with
the new download.java.net server:

Here's the thread
https://sip-comm
unicator.dev.java.net/servlets/BrowseList?list=dev&by=th
read&from=885986

According to the replies I received from Sun, it appears
that it won't
be possible to make things better on download.java.net so
we've decided
to look for another place to store our downloads.

I am very pleased to announce that the team from the Centre
Réseau et
Communication (Network and Communication Center) at the
Louis Pasteur
University have graciously accepted to host our downloads.
The
communications center has excellent connectivity in both
IPv4 and IPv6
so this is a great opportunity.

The machine that has been made available to us is now
reachable at
download.sip-communicator.org (right now in IPv4 only but
IPv6 should be
coming soon).

I've tried to update all package building scripts and make
them upload
to the new location but it would be nice if package
maintainers could
also have a look and make sure that everything is working as
expected.

Incidentally, I imagine that most people using our debian
repository
don't bother going to the download site that often so they
might ignore
the migration. Is anyone aware of a way to make apt-get
alert the user
that the repository has been moved elsewhere instead of
simply blurting
out an error message?

Cheers
Emil
