[openstack-qa] opendev.org mirrors
Hi folks, On US-based servers, a DevStack deploy takes 15 minutes. When deploying it from Brazil (where I live) however, it takes more than an hour. Examining the stack.sh logs, git_timed appears to be the culprit. I'm using a 250 Mbps connection. Do opendev.org mirrors exist for other regions other than the US? If not, has this been discussed yet? I believe this is more of a financial discussion othet than technical, but I'm curious if other users have raised this question before. I'm not sure if openstack-qa is the most appropriate flag. If not, please feel free to correct. Thanks!

Is this only the first time you install DevStack, or is that how long it takes to update an existing DevStack install? It shouldn't be cloning every time.

Technically yes, though not for everything hosted in the OpenDev collaboratory, but many projects (including OpenStack) do continuously replicate all their branches and tags to GitHub. -- Jeremy Stanley

You can use the GIT_BASE variable to override the Git hosting service used for cloning repositories. So you could try setting GIT_BASE=https://github.com in local.conf, it might be faster for you.
Thanks Jeremy and Pierre! Will try following that advice. DevStack is facing some issues related to an Apache update right now but I'll try again with the GitHub mirrors as soon as it's fixed.
