== Description
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fedora hosts both Fedora content and some non-Fedora content. Our
|
||
|
|
resources are finite and as such we have to have some policy around when
|
||
|
|
to remove old content. This SOP describes the test to remove content.
|
||
|
|
The spirit of this SOP is to allow more people to host content and give
|
||
|
|
it a try, prove that it's useful. If it's not popular or useful, it will
|
||
|
|
get removed. Also out of date or expired content will be removed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=== What hosting options are available
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Aside from the hosting at https://pagure.io/ we have a series of mirrors
|
||
|
|
we're allowing people to use. They are located at:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* http://archive.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/ - For archives of
|
||
|
|
historical Fedora releases
|
||
|
|
* http://secondary.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/ - For
|
||
|
|
secondary architectures
|
||
|
|
* http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/ - For misc content / catchall
|
||
|
|
* http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/ - For torrent hosting
|
||
|
|
* http://spins.fedoraproject.org/ - For official Fedora Spins hosting,
|
||
|
|
mirrored somewhat
|
||
|
|
* http://download.fedoraproject.com/pub/ - For official Fedora Releases,
|
||
|
|
mirrored widely
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=== Who can host? What can be hosted?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Any official Fedora content can hosted and made available for mirroring.
|
||
|
|
Official content is determined by the Council by virtue of allowing
|
||
|
|
people to use the Fedora trademark. People representing these teams will
|
||
|
|
be allowed to host.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=== Non Official Hosting
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
People wanting to host unofficial bits may request approval for hosting.
|
||
|
|
Create a ticket at https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/ explaining
|
||
|
|
what and why Fedora should host it. Such will be reviewed by the Fedora
|
||
|
|
Infrastructure team.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Requests for non-official hosting that may conflict with existing Fedora
|
||
|
|
policies will be escalated to the Council for approval.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=== Licensing
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Anything hosted with Fedora must come with a Free software license that
|
||
|
|
is approved by Fedora. See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing for
|
||
|
|
more.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
== Requesting Space
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Make sure you have a Fedora account
|
||
|
|
-https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/
|
||
|
|
* Ensure you have signed the Fedora Project Contributor Agreement (FPCA)
|
||
|
|
* Submit a hosting request -https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/
|
||
|
|
** Include who you are, and any group you are working with (e.g. a SIG)
|
||
|
|
** Include Space requirements
|
||
|
|
** Include an estimate of the number of downloads expected (if you can).
|
||
|
|
** Include the nature of the bits you want to host.
|
||
|
|
* Apply for group hosted-content
|
||
|
|
-https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/group/view/hosted-content
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
== Using Space
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A dedicated namespace in the mirror will be assigned to you. It will be
|
||
|
|
your responsibility to upload content, remove old content, stay within
|
||
|
|
your quota, etc. If you have any questions or concerns about this please
|
||
|
|
let us know. Generally you will use rsync. For example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
....
|
||
|
|
rsync -av --progress ./my.iso secondary01.fedoraproject.org:/srv/pub/alt/mySpace/
|
||
|
|
....
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[IMPORTANT]
|
||
|
|
====
|
||
|
|
None of our mirrored content is backed up. Ensure that you keep backups
|
||
|
|
of your content.

== Content Pruning / Purging / Removal
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The following guidelines / tests will be used to determine whether or
|
||
|
|
not to remove content from the mirror.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=== Expired / Old Content
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If content meets any of the following criteria it may be removed:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Content that has reached the end of life (is no longer receiving
|
||
|
|
updates).
|
||
|
|
* Pre-release content that has been superceded.
|
||
|
|
* EOL releases that have been moved to archives.
|
||
|
|
* N-2 or greater releases. If more than 3 versions of a piece of content
|
||
|
|
are on the mirror, the oldest may be removed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=== Limited Use Content
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If content meets any of the following criteria it may be removed:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Content with exceedingly limited seeders or downloaders, with little
|
||
|
|
prospect of increasing those numbers and which is older then 1 year.
|
||
|
|
* Content such as videos or audio which are several years old.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=== Catch All Removal
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fedora reserves the right to remove any content for any reason at any
|
||
|
|
time. We'll do our best to host things but sometimes we'll need space or
|
||
|
|
just need to remove stuff for legal or policy reasons.
