- Each user is member of a group
- Each group can have multiple servers (this is useful for cases like rackspace/gwdg with 3 mirrors)
- Each group can only modify/query their own servers
- Each user can query the public information about every other mirror (the stuff we show on mirrors.opensuse.org)
- They can add new mirrors
- They can remove their mirrors
- They can disable/enable their mirror
- They can edit the various URLs assigned to their mirror (FTP, HTTP, RSYNC)
- They can set the priority of their mirror
- This has to be carefully monitored, a bad mirror might set themselves a very high priority but is actually degrading the service for openSUSE users.
- They can edit the limitations for their mirrors. This includes:
- Limit to network/AS/country/region
- Allow serving other countries
- They should be able to see the log of the last scan of their mirror
- They should be get notifications in case we see errors with their mirror
- It might a good idea to add arbitrator hosts outside of our network to avoid
issues where only our connection to them is bad.
- I think the arbitrator becomes more important when we start notifying people... disabling a mirror for a few minutes in case of a problem is one thing ... spamming users with false alarms another.
