something is wrong with cygwin's mirror checker

something is wrong with cygwin's mirror checker

[Christopher Faylor]

I don't know why but the mirror checker is screwed up.  The last email I
got from the system said that the mirrors were in good shape but
http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html tells another story.

Just a heads up.  I'm investigating.

Problem identified and (I hope) fixed.  It will take a few hours for
the system to correct itself so mirrors will be scarce until that
happens.

This list has recovered a bit but is still very sparse.

It is probably just a coincidence, but my usual mirror,
<ftp://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/pub/cygwin/>, has disappeared, not just from
<http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html>, but when accessed directly with Firefox,
not setup.  Usually it is very reliable.  I doubt that there's anything
that you can do, but I wonder if anl.gov cannot find something that it is
looking for at the cygwin/sourceware end and that that has contributed to
this problem at anl.gov and at least some of the other mirrors.

Best wishes,

- Barry
