- Document the mechanism in CHANGES
- Add www/tivoka (a JSON-RPC client/server library in PHP) which
uses the GitHub mechanism
Approved by: beat (portmgr) after exp-run
results; to compensate for this and previous removals, and to obtain a better
geographical spread, add the Sunsite mirrors in Oviedo, Paris, and Stellenbosch
(found via http://ibiblio.org/pub/linux/MIRRORS.html )
- the edisontel Sunsite mirror has been giving consistent 404
responses locally and in the distilator results;
- the transact and softlayer Sourceforge mirrors have been giving
consistent NXDOMAIN responses locally and in the distilator results,
and were removed 15 months ago from version 40 of the official
Sourceforge mirror list at:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/Mirrors
and hence MASTER_SITE_GCC. It is delivering corrupted tarballs for
at least one snapshot of GCC, and a different one for every download.

This should help portscout bot in detection of new version on CPAN while author
of module is changed. CPAN:macro require author's CPAN-name and this change
allow to fallback try try look by module name.

http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/ :
"Please do not use the old names ftp-linux.cc.gatech.edu,
www.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu, ftp.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu or
rsync.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu as they are now deprecated and may cease to
exist. The supported names for GTlib services are
www.gtlib.gatech.edu, ftp.gtlib.gatech.edu and
rsync.gtlib.gatech.edu."
Restore a corrected version of the GTlib GNOME mirror that was removed
in revision 1.563. This leaves only one outdated GTlib entry, in
MASTER_SITE_SUSE:
ftp://ftp-linux.cc.gatech.edu/pub/suse/suse/%SUBDIR%/
This should probably be changed to:
ftp://ftp.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/opensuse/distribution/ ...
but it is currently unused. Leave the other GTlib Linux mirrors for
reference during possible future Linux updates, even though some of
the older directories they point to have since been emptied and their
contents moved to separate archives, as on some other Linux mirrors.
- Remove the USC GNU mirror, which has been only sparsely updated
since Jan. 2011 -- according to distilator results it is missing 141
(about 40%) of the GNU distfiles. Replace it with the nearby
kernel.org GNU mirror.
