Mirror Checker
This mirror status checker determines whether CSC mirror is up-to-date with upstream.
How To Run
A configuration file may be provided through standard input. Without a configuration file, execute python main.py
. By default, all the available distributions will be checked. With a configuration file, execute python main.py < name_of_config_file.in
, for example, python main.py < example.in
. In this case, only the distributions listed in the configuration file will be checked.
Resources
if we can just view their repo online, we only have to remember the link for their repo and then check the latest timestamp in their repo the same way we check ours
even if the date relies on a specific file in their repo, we can still find the right link for it
to find repos of the mirrored projects to check, just search "projectName mirrors"
checker information
not done: NetBSD: http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/ has public repo, no timestamp, web directory hard to loop through, no mirror tracker opensuse: http://download.opensuse.org/ check Update.repo files in folders inside the update folder puppylinux: https://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/ check the ISO files in the folders starting with puppy
done: almalinux alpine apache archlinux centos ceph CPAN CRAN: https://cran.r-project.org/mirmon_report.html has a mirror tracker csclub: for now, this is the upstream itself, so it needs not to be checked CTAN: https://www.ctan.org/mirrors/mirmon has a mirror tracker Cygwin damnsmalllinux: http://distro.ibiblio.org/damnsmall/ not checking this, since it's abandoned debian debian-backports: this is a legacy thing, no longer have to check debian-cd debian-multimedia debian-ports debian-security debian-volatile: this is a legacy thing, no longer have to check eclipse emacsconf: for now, this is the upstream itself, so it needs not to be checked fedora freeBSD gentoo-distfiles gentoo-portage gnome GNU gutenberg ipfire kde kde-applicationdata kernel linuxmint: https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/linuxmint/ candidate for brute force looping linuxmint-packages: https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/linuxmint-packages/ Checking the timestamp of either the Release file or the Packages file should suffice. macPorts: only distfiles has public repo, no timestamp, too large to loop through, comparing ports.tar.gz in distfiles manjaro mxlinux mxlinux-iso: this one seems out of sync on the official tracker for 134 days, which is weird mysql: http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/mysql/ nongnu: http://download.savannah.nongnu.org/releases/ https://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/Mirmon/ http://download.savannah.gnu.org/mirmon/savannah/ openbsd parabola: https://repo.parabola.nu/ https://www.parabola.nu/mirrors/status/ pkgsrc qtproject: https://download.qt.io/ racket: https://mirror.racket-lang.org/installers/ no public repo, no timestamp, no mirror status tracker make sure that we have the latest version number under racket-installers raspberry pi: https://archive.raspberrypi.org/ Checking the timestamp of either the Release file or the Packages file should suffice. raspbian: http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/ snapshotindex.txt is most likely a timestamp, tho i'm not sure. also i think our mirror is completely outdated, it's not listed on official mirror list sagemath: same source tarballs as them (the sage-*.tar.gz files under 'Source Code') salt stack: checking the "Latest release" text under the 'About' header scientific: https://scientificlinux.org/downloads/sl-mirrors/ not checking this one since it's abandoned slackware: https://mirrors.slackware.com/mirrorlist/ https://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware/ checking using the last updated date here, don't know if it's entirely accurate tdf: https://download.documentfoundation.org/ trisquel: https://trisquel.info/mirmon/index.html out of date website!? please recheck this!!! ubuntu: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+mirror/mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca-archive ubuntu-ports: http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ checks the file anonster.canonical.com, which appears to be a timestamp (check it to make sure!!!) ubuntu-ports-releases: https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ has public repo, no timestamp, no status tracker, brute force looped it ubuntu-releases: https://releases.ubuntu.com/ vlc: http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/ x.org: https://www.x.org/releases/ check all of the files under each directory under /x.org/individual/, and make sure that we have all of the files which the upstream has Xiph: https://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/xiph/releases/ loop through each directory in xiph/releases/ and trying to compare the timestamp of the checksum files xubuntu-releases: https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/ candidate for brute force looping since it has few folders
