[cross-project-issues-dev] Should the Ganymede update sites have mirrors

["Nick Boldt" <codeslave@xxxxxxxxxx>]

As we come into the home stretch and more and more people start adopting Ganymede, should there be a mirrorsURL in the site.xml file so that people can select a mirror?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<site pack200="true" digestURL="http://download.eclipse.org/releases/ganymede/">

vs.  

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<site pack200="true" digestURL="http://download.eclipse.org/releases/ganymede/" mirrorsURL="http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/releases/ganymede/site.xml&amp;format=xml">

I'd say yes, but given I'm in Canada and fairly close to the Eclipse servers in Ottawa, I'll leave it to someone further afield to open a bug if they agree. I'd also suggest having the same mirrorsURL for the staging site, eg:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<site pack200="true"
digestURL="http://download.eclipse.org/releases/ganymede/staging/"
mirrorsURL="http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/releases/ganymede/staging/site.xml&amp;format=xml">

Cheers,

Nick
