New CPAN master mirror

Hi everyone,

First: Thank you for mirroring CPAN!

# Big CPAN update

This is the first post to this mailing list in over half a decade.  =
We've been dusting off a bit and have just released the first phase of =
some big upgrades (we think) to CPAN.   You might already have seen, if =
not go to your CPAN mirror or to http://www.cpan.org/   :-)

# Master mirror change

Another change that's important to all of you is that the CPAN master =
mirror has changed. We have a new "how to mirror" page at =
http://www.cpan.org/misc/how-to-mirror.html

If you are currently mirroring from rsync.nic.funet.fi or (in =
particular) from ftp.funet.fi, please change your mirror source to be =
rsync://cpan-rsync.perl.org/CPAN/ -- let us know at [email protected] when =
you've changed the mirror source so we can update the MIRRORED.BY file.

# Tier 1 mirrors wanted!

Other related news: cpan-rsync.perl.org will soon be a "distributed tier =
1 mirror" -- and we need tier 1 rsync mirrors!   Rather than use plain =
rsync, we'll use our new "instant mirroring" system that allows a mirror =
to be up-to-date within 30 seconds of a file being uploaded to PAUSE =
with very little overhead.

If you want to help be a tier 1 mirror, please see the wiki page on the =
"instant mirroring" test: =
https://github.com/perlorg/cpanorg/wiki/Instant-update-mirroring -- send =
me an email off-list to get an rsync username/password for the "tier 0 =
master mirror" if you are going to setup a tier 1 rsync mirror.
