|
|   Can It be the user fault if there was 2 entries for my mirror, and
| that only the second one worked without a warning?  As reported,
| setup.exe showed 2 entries for my mirror, so technically my mirror was
| on both lists.
|
|   I've found similar discussions on cygwin-apps, so you can move the
| discussion there if you want.  Personnally, except finding the exact
| Cygwin version used, I think there is little more I can do, and It seems
| to me to be a bug either on the client or with the mechanism that list
| the valid mirrors that found a way to list my mirror twice.
|
|   Whether mirrors-lst showed 2 entries or not at any time is still
| unconfirmed.

Hmm... interestingly enough I noticed my mirror (among several others)
have been removed from the list.  My mirror continues to do automated
daily updates so I have sent an email to sourcemaster to get re-added
and requested a response if there is an issue with it.  I had no emails
prior to today saying that it would be removed or why it would be.  I
also provided a new email address to be listed.  I do remember an email
being sent to update it but it was not to remove the entry.
