Anyone who wants to. If you mean who compiles the setup.exe binaries that are on the mirrors, that would be the maintainers (currently Max Bowser and myself, although Igor helps so much he's a de facto maintainer.) As to the location of the source, please read <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-10/msg01019.html>. Since you are the second person who has asked this in the last week I have to wonder if there is something about the website that's unclear. Is there any wording that could be made more clear to answer what I would hope would be a simple question of "where is the source"? > I am interested in an option to prob all the servers and disable the ones > that are > currently off line. Maybe even do a traceroute and sort by number of hops. This, however is going to be rather fruitless. The list of mirrors is already checked frequently (at least daily) by automatic infrastructure on the cygwin.com machine, and any mirror that is offline or is more than 24 hours out of sync is automatically removed from the mirrors.lst file. So barring a local connectivity problem, if it's in the mirrors.lst file (which is the same data as presented <http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html>) then it's guaranteed to be fresh and online. > Or at least export the list so that a seperate utility could be used to pick > a server. <http://cygwin.com/mirrors.lst> should be trivial to process with sed/awk/perl/etc. Brian -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
