Hi Guys,
Firstly, my apologies to Tim, Slavek, Michele and Francois as I sent them a direct email regarding this problem because I thought the mailing list was down but in fact, it was my mail server blocking list messages because the Reverse DNS check failed for 'mail.pearsoncomputing.net'.
Reverse DNS looks fine here (subdomain should not matter): 192.119.205.242 pearsoncomputing.net
Hi Tim,
Thanks for getting back to me.
I've been getting hammered by spam so tried a few things, rDNS checks being one of them. Unfortunately, the mail server checks the rDNS for the host (mail.pearsoncomputing.net), the domain alone is not sufficient ( See results from 'mxtoolbox.com' - Your Reverse DNS Record (PTR) is not a valid host name. According to email sending best practices, a PTR Record should be a valid host name. If the PTR Record is not a valid hostname, there is a likelihood that you will experience email delivery issues with anti-spam services.)
I added an exception for pearsoncomputing.net but the rDNS check was rejecting other valid mail too so I've removed it.
The TDE servers are still in a bad physical location for Internet access, on top of residing in the United States where high speed Internet access is typically much harder to obtain than the rest of the world. Relocation is still being worked on with tentative scheduling for the middle of 2016.
Understood.
Slavek has a (plain HTTP) mirror here: http://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/
Thanks, I read this message in the archive before I started receiving list messages and I've started to clone Slávek's mirror. Though he did mention in his reply about a complication regarding the submodules.
Alternatively you can download the complete release tarball for R14.0.2; it contains the GIT SCM files such that you should only need to switch back to the master branch and pull (relatively small) updates from the master server: https://trinitydesktop.org/releases/R14.0.2/
I don't see any SCM files in the monolithic tar ball.
Hope this helps!
It does, very much, thanks.
Regards, Mike.
