openresty.org/package/ contains unaccessible file

[ZenithalHourlyRate]

Hi, we are downstream mirror of openresty. We use lftp to sync https://openresty.org/package/ to our site, the script could be found here.

Recently all the mirror sites using this script failed to sync from you. After investigation, it turned out that you have put unaccessible files under package directory, more specifically, all these excluded file below

lftp "https://openresty.org/package/" -e "mirror --verbose --skip-noaccess -P 5 --delete --only-newer --exclude=centos/7/2 --exclude=oracle/7/2 --exclude=rhel/7/2 --exclude=centos/7Client/2 --exclude=centos/7Server/2 --exclude=centos/8/8 --exclude=rocky/8/8 --exclude=alinux/2/2 --exclude=alinux/2.1903/2 --exclude=alinux/3/8; bye"

The problem is that 25 days ago (13-May-2022) you created a unaccessible file named 8 in https://openresty.org/package/centos/8/. Later a file named 2 was also created in https://openresty.org/package/centos/7/ on 25-May-2022.

Could you please remove these unnecessary files?

Also, we note that many directories are just symbol links, could you provide rsync service such that we can sync these symbol links instead of duplicating them for each directory. In that way we can save disk spaces (currently the whole openresty takes ~45G)

Also, you could use mirror site to distribute your software, like adding these mirror sites in openresty.org and redirecting traffics to them. We have also provided a redirection service for some mirror sites in https://mirrors.cernet.edu.cn/openresty so you could use it.

@ZenithalHourlyRate , thanks for the report, this should be a wrong soft link, we have removed it.

@agentzh Is it okay for us to provide rsync services as proposed?

Confirmed. Now our syncing service works correctly.

Close this issue as it has been fixed.

But still waiting on this. If rsync was provided this new issue could be avoided.
