| Hello,
|
|   I am sending this here, as It seems that there is not any better

|
|   One Cygwin user warned me that when using our mirror, he got a
| warning telling him that our mirror is not anymore on the Cygwin
| official mirror list.
|
|   Taken from this page (http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html) I read
| the following:
|
| "If you are a mirror site administrator and your site was previously
| listed but has dropped off that means that the automatic software has
| determined that you are not up-to-date. Your site will be re-added
| automatically when you become current. There is no need to contact
| anyone about this."
|
|
|   According to my logs, my Cygwin mirror never has been out of date
| (I checked up to the 21st of June) and as been updated since twice a
| day without any problems.  So can someone please tell me why my mirror
| was dropped, and why It wasn't readded automatically?
|
|   By the way, my mirror is still listed on the official mirror page.
|
|   Also, It would be very useful for all mirror if this script would
| automatically email the faulty mirror sysadmin each time a problem
| is detected.  That would helps a lot to detect and fix problems soon
| after they happens.

If they scroll down the list they will see your mirror listed twice.
They just need to select the second entry.  Don't ask me why but I had
this happen for my own mirror.
