Folks,

Are you seeking a volunteer or volunteers to replace the individual who no 
longer can maintain the Fink mirrors?

If so, what are the criteria/requirements - both for the person and the 
necessary system(s) - for such a volunteer? I am tentatively interested.

Thank You,

I’d say email [email protected] and ask.  There aren’t any specific technical requirements.
 Knowledge of how administer the machine(s) to handle problems is important.

Apologies for the typoe - that should say "technical info", not "technical issue".

       Dear Mr. Hansen,

       Thanks for the technical issue - I'm afraid my question was unclear.

       Rephrasing - What sort of requirements might apply to the person volunteering, and whom
       should he/she contact to volunteer?

       Thanks, -g

             We’ve normally used Debian boxes, which could well be virtual rather than
             physical machines (and that would
             probably make our lives easier).  I’m not 100% about the resources that are
             needed, though, since I was never
             actually involved in that part of the process.
              
             Our mirrors use http for tarball and binary distribution, rsync, and git.  I’m
             not sure how good the
             documentation is, but the scripts are stored at
             https://github.com/fink/scripts/tree/master/selfupdate-mirror
             .
              
             I spin up virtual machines pretty regularly at my job, but unfortunately we audit
             traffic fairly heavily and
             we don’t have a lot of storage headroom.
              
             Best,

             Dear Mr. Hansen,
              
             I'm taking the liberty of e-mailing you off-list; I hope that's OK.
              
             Are you seeking a volunteer or volunteers to be the replacement "one
             person...to handle things" vis-a-vis distribution mirrors? If so, what
             sort of requirements might apply? I am tenatively interested.
              
             Best,
