Our (pi-apps) automation frequently discovers broken raspbian mirrors
https://github.com/Botspot/pi-apps/acti ... step:7:874
https://github.com/Botspot/pi-apps/acti ... step:7:865
https://github.com/Botspot/pi-apps/acti ... step:7:868
This mirror currently 404's from the automation (github actions servers) and my home location (USA) both at the time of posting.
Why is http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/ mirrorbrain resolving to this address?
Additionally, what is the root repository that http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/ mirrorbrain is mirroring? Is it https://archive.raspbian.org/ directly or is there another public raspberypi.org/com domain that does not use mirrorbrain?
It seems to me that mirrorbrain is flawed by design (when it comes to robustness) allowing up to 24 hours of failures before removal. You should instead be using mirrorcache. A writeup of the benefits can be seen here https://opensuse.github.io/MirrorCache/mb_compare/ . Additionally, it seems VERY bad to me to be reliant on 11+ year old abandoned software (mirrorbrain hasn't had a release since 2014 and hasn't had a commit since 2015) while mirrorcache is actively maintained (by openSUSE nonetheless!).
