@ -46,16 +46,17 @@ When a mirror is proposed on the mailing list, it is manually
added in a mirror list in the PyPI application after it
has been checked to be compliant with the mirroring rules.
The mirror list is handled by a DNS entry for this hostname:
The mirror list is provided as a list of host names of the
form
mirrors.pypi.python.org
X.pypi.python.org
When a mirror is added into the DNS, it becomes an official
IP for `mirrors.pypi.python.org`, and requests will be sent
to the given IP. Therefore the mirror maintainer should not
change the IP provided. If the IP has to change for any reason,
the mirror maintainer has to send a mail to catalog-SIG at least
one week before the change so the DNS entry can be changed on time.
The values of X are the sequence a,b,c,...,aa,ab,...
a.pypi.python.org is the master server; the mirrors start
with b. A CNAME record last.pypi.python.org points to the
last host name. Mirror operators should use a static address,
and report planned changes to that address in advance to
catalog-sig.
The new mirror also appears at `http://pypi.python.org/mirrors`
which is a human-readable page that gives the list of mirrors.
