DSA would like to move dillon to another ganeti cluster with no local
mirror. It seems that the d-i scripts use /srv/mirrors, at least the
following crontab entry:

55 */4 * * * cd $DI; mr -q up ; cd $DI/scripts/testing-summary; ./gen-summary /srv/mirrors/debian > $WWW/testing-summary.html ; ~/bin/push-www

Can you please confirm that /srv/mirrors is still used? Does it need a
full mirror or a partial mirror without pool/?

Hi,

and thanks for the report.

Aurelien Jarno <aurel32@debian.org> (2019-10-26):
(network mirror support is what I use when I run this script locally),
and that seems fine.

Fixed in git, and deployed in the crontab:
https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/d-i/commit/369054e0d3fdc7e9ef7e4987a4adaf191b4569c0

The dose checks used to need access to mirrors, but they seem to have
been commented out by mistake:
https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/d-i/commit/3d25abea44bb9122ee404394f6e84d67aa874b31

Those checks need access to Packages files. When re-enabling them,
we can probably move to fetching those files from the network as well.


Adding Holger to copy for awareness, but it doesn't look like we have
more things depending on mirrors; so we can probably consider
everything's good unless Holger knows about anything else?


Cheers,

Hi,

So, nothing I am aware of.
