Re: " Kevin: Can we confirm that the infrastructure is up to the
download challenge? (DavidW: Blocking bug open against intermittent problems.
Operational issues with bandwidth need to be raised to Eclipse Webmasters in
advance; see AI below.) "
Denis has has been working on the bandwidth and
infrastructure issues for quite a while now. He is well aware of Callisto.
The Eclipse Foundation is working with our ISP to increase our bandwidth
from its current 60Mbps to 300Mbps. There will also be multiple machines
dedicated to downloads.
But how any of us can presume to predict whether even
300mbps is enough beats the heck outta me. There also has to be a recognition
that the Foundation does not have unlimited resources. Bandwidth is not free.
That's why the 24 hours to populate the mirrors is going to be absolutely key to
our success.
Is the bug DavidW is referring to 128350? If
so, there is no indication in the bug that it is "blocking". We are not aware of
any infra bugs which are blocking Callisto. If there is one, could someone
please let us know ASAP?
