Our servers that host the repos at mxrepo.com (Salt Lake City) went down last nite and they have not come back up. We have escalated a support ticket and hopefully this will be resolved soon. We’ve been with this service for a long time and we are surprised at how long its taking for the servers to come back up. This is not a DDOS attack, nor a domain name registration problem, its a problem with the hosting service.

As of this writing, our other mx-controlled mirrors remain up and running (la.mxrepo.com, it.mxrepo.com, nl.mxrepo.com) as well as the regular third-party mirrors (mx-repo-manager for the current list).

The notice indicates that the Salt Lake City repository host is experiencing a hosting-service outage, not a DNS, domain, or DDoS issue.

Until it is restored, users should avoid repeatedly retrying the unavailable mirror and use the listed working mirrors or an up-to-date third-party mirror configuration. Package metadata and mirror integrity should still be verified through the normal repository-signing and checksum mechanisms.

mxrepo.com is back up and running

mxrepo.com should be coming back up. Its working for many folks now, but it might depend on how fast DNS propagates.

This address has historically been referred to as “Salt Lake City”. However, the location information shown in mx-repo-manager will shortly be changed to reflect “Eastern US”, as the server is no longer located in Salt Lake City.

The issues all stem with a problem with the actual server setup at the hosting company. Our domain name was unaffected. The various XX.mxrepo.com subdomains are hosted elsewhere and were unaffected, although it did interfere with our to actually get new packages into the repo.

There are some procedures we need to update manually on our end as the new setup is on physically different machines, but hopefully we will be 100% back on track shortly.

Please report any issues with the new setup in the forum.
