On Wednesday we put yum.puppetlabs.com and apt.puppetlabs.com behind the CloudFront CDN in order to accelerate downloads for overseas users. Both repositories have historically been served from the Linode Fremont datacenter, and download performance from Australia and Asia in particular are dramatically faster with the CDN than without.
One side effect is that we no longer support rsync. Other tools like mrepo, reposync, and apt-mirror can sync to your local mirror via HTTP. Since you'll be accessing cached content from a local CloudFront edge location, HTTP mirroring should be very fast for most users. -- Daniel Dreier Technical Operations Engineer GPG: BA4379FD -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
