pkgs.repoforge.org is DOWN

The repo & all the mirrors are presently inaccessible. The Centos wiki has flagged repoforge as a dead project. Any plans of reversing this? Too much important software here to lose it.

@wa7qzr mirrors are up and accessible. They were just 'too' old, see repoforge/mirrorlist#3 repoforge/mirrorlist#3. Trying to reach @dagwieers to get info on pkgs.

Any update when the site is going to be working?

@davidhrbac - this issue is still not fixed - 72 hours now - could you pls. provide any update?

Okay. Thanks for the info. Still failing here but I'll give it a few more
days to settle down. Then, maybe I'll mirror my own repo :-)

@ccrajarshi updated the script to allow 30 days old mirrors. Trying to reach @dagwieers. If I fail I'm going to redesign the mirror infra and create a new master server. Time to step in again...

[dagwieers]

The Hetzner infrastructure is inaccessible, and will probably be decommissioned. RPMforge is a dead project for several years now and I don't see a purpose in keeping up appearance that it is not. It's been dying since EPEL became the one true repository for RHEL and CentOS.

@dagwieers are you serious about shutting the repoforge down? Can you give us access to repoforge.org domain? There's a lot of people still relying on repoforge. I could keep it a little bit longer on our infrastructure. I will not be online next five days, travelling...

[davidhrbac]

I have created a new master mirror site. The url is http://repository.it4i.cz/mirrors/repoforge/.

[chris001]

@davidhrbac Should individual linux servers, not mirrors, use that link directly (assuming not...) or is there some other CDN type of link which uses DNS city state country to dynamically perform geographical localization to redirect to the mirror which is geographically closest?

[davidhrbac]

@chris001 This should be a new master. So the mirrors should be using this as the master not the end-users. You have to use the mirror-list which is generated. Now a little bit outdated but there are no updates on RPMS anyway...

@hectoralicea pick one of the mirrors - http://mirror-status.repoforge.org/
