Dear nl($num).php.net mirror maintainers! We have a new NL mirror candidate, who has set up a mirror site for PHP.net at http://php.mirror.trueserver.nl/ . We have a dilemma now that as this candidate says, their server is faster for local requests then the ones already present. As we have a policy to only accept mirrors in countries where we have only one mirror, and NL already has three, a decision need to be made. As I cannot test the mirror speeds from here, and all the three existing mirrors have quite new PHP setups, and they are up to date, I cannot find any reason to replace any of your mirrors. However the new candidate seems to be promising (even as he promises to set up htdig for us :). So the question is if someone gives up his mirror site for the new candidate, or not? I myself beleive that it is the best for our users to have the best mirror sites possible. They can measure the quality of a mirror with some factors: - up to date - fast - quick I would not like to add nl4.php.net, it seems a bit too much for me. We have that two mirrors per country rule for some reasons. We would like to make our rsync server accessible for mirrors, so it is not doable to increase the number of mirrors indefinitely. BWT I have included the candidate in this letters recipient list (he is marcmes (at) nedlinux.nl). Regards, Goba [one webmaster@php.net]
