Failing links in XEmacs mirror site on ftp.us.xemacs.org

[Don Sizemore]

  Hi Adrian,

  Yes, we at ibiblio would prefer that you link only to 
mirrors.ibiblio.org.  On the files missing -- someone added xemacs-21.4 to 
our rsync exclude patterns(!) which affected the stable symlink.  I'm 
removing it, and re-syncing now.  Our current excludes are:

Attic/
incoming/
old-beta/
private/
xemacs-19.*
xemacs-20.*
xemacs-21.1/

  Feel free to point ftp.us.xemacs.org to mirrors.ibiblio.org - as your 
pages state, the hours between midnight and 4 a.m. (or even 8 a.m.) EST 
would be best for us.

  Please check behind me - can I help do anything else on this end?

  Donald at ibiblio

|I am writing to you on behalf of the XEmacs project.
|
|First of all, thank you for mirroring our project!
|
|Can you please provide guidance how we should consolidate the XEmacs website's links to mirrors
|ibiblio.org
|formerly sunsite.unc.edu
|formerly metalab.unc.edu
|
|Should we remove the latter two mirrors from our listing and just keep
|http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/
|
|In that case we should probably delegate
|ftt.us.xemacs.org to mirrors.ibiblio.org as well.
|
|It's currently still pointing to ftp.sunsite.utk.edu.
|
|(Please forward this email if the contact address for your site has
|changed and please send me the new email address.  Thanks!)
|
|Please do subscribe to our low-volume xemacs-mirrors mailing list at
|http://lists.xemacs.org/lists/listinfo/xemacs-mirrors, if you have not
|done so already.
|
|At least some of the links to your site are failing.
|
|As of our latest testing, the links listed below were found to fail.
|
|Could you please send us a short reply towards resolution of these
|failures, most importantly if we (XEmacs project) need to update our
|links, whether/when you will be able to resolve the failure, or
|whether you have discontinued mirroring us.
|
|Don't hesitate to ask mailto:webmaster at xemacs.org for help, if there
|are any doubts about the mirroring instructions at
|http://www.xemacs.org/Download/how-to-mirror-ftp.html and/or
|http://www.xemacs.org/Download/how-to-mirror-web.html. We should be
|able to improve them acordingly.
