Mirror cleanup

Hi guys,

I was intending to cleanup all the mirror sites. Anyone object if I
delete every mirror that hasn't sync'd in, say, the last 3 months?

Regards, Dave

probably inform mirror maintainer first and give them several days

Are you just deleting the ones that don't synch up or are you planning on
resequencing the remaining mirrors ?

I'm deleting those that clearly haven't sync'ed for a long time.
Renumbering is a whole different problem, because most have vhosts setup
for a specific hostname - only the newer ones are *.postgresql.org. I
forgot about that when I rehashed Vince's old code and we lost most of
the mirrors for a few days a couple of years back :-(

I'm also looking at rewriting the sync detection system to give much
better control over out of date or broken mirrors. I expect to be able
to add email warnings to tell admins (and us) that there is a problem,
and be able to detect broken ftp paths and vhost configs.

Regards, Dave.
