This issue is a bit more complex. Currently we suggest the users the closest mirror to them. deb.mariadb.org and rpm.mariadb.org use only the mirrors that can be verified using Rsync and FTP however a lot of our mirrors don't have these enabled. Therefore we would reduce the list of mirrors we offer the users. I am afraid some people will have difficulty in downloading the files because of low speeds or perhaps issue with connection.

I suggest this issue be discussed in Finland at the Staff Meeting because I don't have a good solution for this.
I have also spoken with Faustin about this and again we decided to bring it up at the staff meeting.

This wasn't discussed at the staff meeting. Andreia to arrange a meeting with Faustin and Daniel to discuss.

To activate this, we need to make sure that mirror.mariadb.org is not a SPOF (which is the case ATM).

Options are :

• RRDNS with a clone (but it would increase load on our mirrors because of more scan);
• High-availability using redis-sentinel, see https://github.com/etix/mirrorbits.
