Обсуждение: FTP/Mirror selection
In the interests of getting some decent stats for the 8.0 release, the 1 week release delay allowed me time to finish the code I previously promised Josh to track all downloads through all mirrors. The result can be seen at http://wwwmaster.postgresql.org/ftp/ and is already linked from the live site. Please take a minute to give it a whirl so we can catch any hidden bugs before the 8.0 release (if there is anything major, the old system can be easily reinstated, and is in fact still linked from the main download page as an alternative option). There are two minor outstanding issues: 1) It doesn't mirror too well just yet so is all running on wwwmaster. Eventually I just want the final mirror selection pages and counters on wwwmaster. 2) The sub navigation menu doesn't display, per my email last night. If anyone can tell me what I've done wrong (or haven't done at all), I'd appreciate it. Just for interest, the first non-test download logged was RC5 of the win32 PostgreSQL installer, from ftp.gr.postgresql.org by someone in the Philipines??!! (assuming the ip2country database is correct). Regards, Dave

Looks good, but I think it would be even better to show the date of the file as well. So you can see how long ago it was updated. Both for releases ("how new is this") and for the snapshots ("have they updated yet"). Also, any chance to pull up the contents of the .message file when going into a directory? (again, see the .dev directory) //Magnus

This is *way* cool. How do I see the counts? > 1) It doesn't mirror too well just yet so is all running on wwwmaster. > Eventually I just want the final mirror selection pages and counters on > wwwmaster. Won't this be a performance-killer around major releases? Speaking of which, I thought that wwwmaster was moving to one of Gavin's machines and off your personal machine.

How do I see the counts? Each download is logged in the master database for the website. Some php reports in the admin area would be nice eventually, however in the meantime I can give you db access if you like? Would you prefer a shell account, or SSL direct to the DB server? > > 1) It doesn't mirror too well just yet so is all running on > wwwmaster. > > Eventually I just want the final mirror selection pages and > counters on > > wwwmaster. > > Won't this be a performance-killer around major releases? Shouldn't be a major problem. The code just reads directories and generates pages from them. The server is a lightly loaded P4 3GHz with 2GB of RAM, so it should be good for a fair few hits. > Speaking of which, I thought that wwwmaster was moving to one > of Gavin's > machines and off your personal machine. No? Yes, if I can persuade Marc to read my emails, one of which from the beginning of the month asked him to move svr2 across so I could get started on that. You might have seen my post to the list pointing to 3 separate messages he seems not to have got recently, all of which are non-trivial imho. :-( Regards, Dave.
