Is there a way to exclude this mirror from emerge --sync?

For fixing the DNS rotation, you will need to wait until infra reacts to bug 511754.
In the meantime, you can set SYNC in make.conf to a known good server, or to some DNS rotation that does not include heanet.ie
| make.conf: | | SYNC="rsync://rsync.se.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage/" |

I use "esearch" and esync which gives me /var/log/emerge-sync.log.
This gives me the mirror name.
I immediately ctrl C HEA.net.

Thanks for the link. I'll vote for that bug.

I could of course do that; the Swedish mirror is also the closest to home for me. But the idea of mirror rotation is basically sound, and should provide a good load balancing. Picking one particular mirror defeats that purpose. But I'd like to be able to set up a list of blacklisted mirrors for portage to read before syncing.

So do I. But I'd prefer a means to totally avoid it.

rsync.se.gentoo.org is not a single mirror, it is also a DNS rotation. (Although the list is shorter than rsync.gentoo.org)
| Code: | $ nslookup rsync.se.gentoo.org
Name: rsync.se.gentoo.org
Address 1: 140.211.166.189 bobolink.gentoo.osuosl.org
Address 2: 81.91.253.252
Address 3: 91.186.30.235 boobie.gentoo.org
Address 4: 176.28.50.119 quetzal.gentoo.org
Address 5: 2a01:488:67:1000:b01c:3277:0:1 quetzal.gentoo.org
Address 6: 2a01:90:200:10::1a |
EDIT: Actually, I was wrong, it is exactly the same as rsync.gentoo.org right now. I remember it used to be differently. |

Nice! I've updated my make.conf and expect never to get stuck in the Dublin Tar Pit again

Interesting. Some DNS like rsync.se.gentoo.org resolve to the same hosts as rsync.gentoo.org. Others like rsync.no.gentoo.org are equal to rsync.europe.gentoo.org, and the likes of rsync.bg.gentoo.org equal to rsync.asia.gentoo.org.
rsync.{at,cz,de,fi,fr,gr,nl,pl,pt,uk}.gentoo.org and possibly others have a list of local rsync mirrors.
rsync.es.gentoo.org seems to show the french mirrors. |
