Strong mirrors with a good bandwidth, that sync often and offer rsync to others themselves, can sync the files via the staging tree, some days or hours before they are made available to the general public, and thus help us with the first download wave after the announcement. This helps us to distribute the load before the release day by distributing files in two waves. While the public one is open for anyone interested and comes without any access restrictions, the staging tree is open only for specific IP addresses. We currently offer three rsync sources: the public, staging and the push tree. The only requirement is to keep the directory structure and hierarchy intact. MirrorBrain will automatically detect which files your mirror offers, and redirect users accordingly. Note that you can mirror only parts of the tree or only individual files and directories, by specifically including or excluding them via rsync. This includes up to three releases and one release candidate or beta, plus the DVD ISO, plus the portable version, plus the source code. At the moment, we use our own build, based on the original one with some patches.Īt time of this writing, a full sync of the LibreOffice contents require 60GiB of disk space. The Document Foundation uses MirrorBrain, which many of you may already be familiar with.
