Is it so hard to set > up virtual hosts on ftp servers? Regardless of virtualhosts, I think that ftp.postgresql.org's own FTP server should be structured like /pub/PostgreSQL/v7.4.1... That's how our mirror is setup and I believe that's the cleanest way to have more than one mirror in the same server. This is also a good practice, since not all (including ours) ftp daemons support virtual hosts. If we had all directories directly after /pub, there would be more than 30 subdirectories, all mixed up: NetBSD, PostgreSQL, etc. Thus, setting our mirror just like PostgreSQL's, without virtualhost, would be very confusing for our clients. I agree that every mirror should use the same directory structure, but asking everyone to place everything directly after /pub or setting up virtualhosts doesn't seem to be plausible, mainly because there're a lot of mirrors out there. So I think that the easiest (and cleanest) way is to change postgresql's ftp to /pub/postgresql, asking new and current mirrors to adopt that approach. It's much easier than asking for virtualhosts. Not just because I wouldn't have to change my setup :) but also because many projects with mirrors do that successfully. Or, at least a /pub/postgresql link to the actual mirror directory could be used... []s Ricardo.
