Time to cull the usage on mirrors again, but leave the files on ftp.m.o.

I'm proposing we remove all the ** lines from the mirrors. Sound OK ?

I went ahead and removed these ones. The two betas have already been switched to ftp://ftp.m.o on http://www.seamonkey-project.org, and the latter two will still work from download.m.o using MoCo mirrors (if anyone should hit them). Still interested in cleaning up the other releases, but acting now because we're at 108G and will need space for SeaMonkey 2.2 final this week.

I'm not sure about 5.0b2, but the other Thunderbird ones look ok to remove from the mirrors.
I'm wondering why we are leaving 2.0.0.24 on the mirrors...?

Added these to the exclude list:
4582	thunderbird/releases/3.0.11       ** leaving update/win32
4752	thunderbird/releases/3.1.10       **
628	thunderbird/releases/3.3a3        **
4516	thunderbird/releases/5.0b1        **
0	thunderbird/releases/latest-3.0   **

There are still about 100k requests for 2.0.0.24 complete mars every weekday, almost all for windows. Slightly larger number for 3.0.11.

Removed Check Now for the releases in comment #3, and turned it back on for the update products for 3.0.11.

Comment 5

Added SeaMonkey 2.0.14, 2.1, 2.2b1, 2.2b2, 2.2b3 to the exclude list; will wait a couple of days for most of the mirrors to action that before fixing Check Now in bouncer.

Callek says (on IRC),
 for SeaMonkey, until you hear differently, you can feel safe doing "leave one 
 major release, and latest beta on mirrors, all else can be dropped"

We have dm-download02 to keep download.m.o links working, so there's no need to wait for the SeaMonkey website to be updated to use ftp.m.o.

[John Hopkins (:jhopkins)]

As it turns out, we DO need Thunderbird 3.1.10 on the mirrors, since we never shipped 2.0.0.24->3.1.11 major updates.

Comment 7

[Nick Thomas [:nthomas] (UTC+12)]

I've set Check Now back to true on the Thunderbird-3.1.10-Complete product, which means we check the mirrors every 5 minutes. We now have several mirrors providing coverage now.

I think the daily job that checks all products must have failed, leaving us without mirror coverage.

Check Now has been cleaned up, along with 2.3b1. (In the meantime bug 674517 has permanently removed any betas from the mirrors for Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, Firefox, and Fennec.)

The mozilla-releases module is at 80G right now.
