Alpine Linux :alpine:

We've learned that the packages for most architectures for the edge branch are missing on our mirrors. We are investigating the issue and give an update once we know more.

We understand what happened (bad rsync invocation), but do not have a root cause yet, we are still investigating.

In the mean time, we are uploading the packages to the mirrors again, so we expect them to be available in a couple of hours.

All repositories have been restored again on our tier 1 infrastructure since 5.45 UTC this morning, third-party mirrors may still be catching up.

We have hardened our build scripts against to what we believe was the issue.

A more detailed write-up will follow.

@alpinelinux Just saw the disk usage for my mirror drop from 2.88TB to 2.66TB at 11:55 Pacific, so 80 minutes ago.

@alpinelinux thanks for looking into this and keeping us updated ❤️

@alpinelinux thank you all on the Alpine team for handling the situation so well and keeping us in the loop! 💙

@alpinelinux ye old null variable strikes again.... Thanks for the detailed write up!
