archive has URL differences MDBF-285

rpm solution - MDBF-297

As discussed with greenman and dbart, netcologne.de is a better candidate than archive.mariadb.org because we have bad IO performance on archive.mariadb.org (SSHFS storage based on Hetzner Storage Box).

An access for dbart has been created on the archive.mariadb.org machine, this way he can quicker and easier:

• synchronise archive.mariadb.org with hasky.askmonty.org ;
• upload from archive.mariadb.org to netcologne.de.

I'll ask corp (slack engineering team and any interested person) to test the new mirror.mariadb.org system MDBF-297.

I think tturenko would probably be interested in incorporating the new mirror.mariadb.org system into his testing.

dbart is there anything else that I can do to finish this task? I believe that we are now able to test this for the next release with netcologne?

note - MDBF-388 - galera appears to be not on these mirrors.

It is and MDBF-388 should be fixed since yesterday.
https://mirror.mariadb.org/mariadb-10.6.7/repo/debian/pool/main/g/galera-4/

Or am I missing something?

I was somehow expecting galera at the top level beside the major branch versions on the mirror.

https://rpm.mariadb.org/10.9/centos74-amd64 missing per build. Others probably ok.

Yes that was the change.
Quoting Elena:
> For galera, right, this repo was intentionally disabled recently, to check who is still using it and thus hopefully screams when it stops working. It hasn't been maintained for a long time and thus shouldn't be used.
> Depending on what you want to use in your tests, you can take either the last released galera package from the server release repos, or the last built package from hasky or from where you yourself build/store them.

For 10.9, true, not sure why packages are not present but it's probably related to the new release model. In that case, we should keep this in mind and make BB not generate false positive.

https://rpm.mariadb.org/10.9/centos74-amd64 missing per build. Others probably ok.

10.9.0 was a bintar-only release (as are all 10.x.0 releases in the new release model), so no packages or repositories for them. Packages and repositories show up for 10.x.1+.

Ok thanks for the clarification, so this is definitively something to take in consideration in the BB upgrade/install scripts.

I have created MDBF-398 to track this.

We now have 2 primary mirrors:

• ftp.osuosl.org::mariadb
• mirror.netcologne.de::mariadb

I have also implemented a check that will alert us if those mirror are not in sync.
