Summary: Set up mirroring for JBoss Tools update-sites
Key: JBIDE-12708
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-12708
Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
Issue Type: Enhancement
Components: Build/Releng
Reporter: Mickael Istria
Assignee: Nick Boldt
Fix For: LATER
download.jboss.org is very far away from Europe. I guess it's the same for Asia and
Africa.
We should think about mirroring our sites (p2 allow it without too much difficulty) to
provide a better installation experience to users all around the world.

Good to know

If you're talking about a european mirror that's PUBLIC... well, that's
another story. Maybe we could host something in an openshift cloud instance?

Yes, I'm speaking of a public mirror as a reaction of a message on a French forum in
which one a user complains installation is very slow for him.

------------------------------------
Until we have a mirror of download.jboss.org in Europe, the best way to install JBT is to
fetch most of the content from existing mirrors:
a) download Eclipse Juno JEE bundle from the nearest Eclipse mirror
b) download JBT update site zip from the nearest sourceforge mirror
That way only the 3rd party stuff not included in those two zips needs to be pulled from
download.jboss.org or download.eclipse.org, making the experience faster.

Assigning back to [~mickael_istria]. You might want to talk to [~adietish] or
[~maxandersen] about setting this up in a public-facing openshift cloud server instance
somewhere in Europe.

----------------------------------------
We should use a mechanism similar to what Eclipse.org does for releases: a single URL, and
then p2 looks for mirrors.

------------------------------------
Yecch. Eclipse Mirrors are stupid-slow thru p2. It's why I usually disable the
'check all sites' box when doing Help > Install, or else disable all the
eclipse.org sites in the list to avoid the hugely slow metadata crawl that happens w/
eclipse.org and its mirrors.
A cron job to rsync to another server, then have you point at that server would be more
efficient.
Because... if you're in Europe, you don't want metadata pointing you back at the
US. If you're in the US or Canada, you don't want metadata pointing you at
European or Asian mirrors.

----------------------------------------
But that would mean telling people to select a mirror URL for a download site. That's
not easy to communicate on several possible URLs and say users "Choose your favorite
one".
The good thing with p2 mirroring is that use doesn't have to choose a mirror, p2 does
it for him.

----------------------------------------
[~maxandersen] Told that we could rely on Akamai for mirroring. Akamai is currently
disabled on jbosstools folder at download.jboss.org, but we could think of using it on the
releases folder.
