Critical Failure in Repository Server (EU)
Due to a maintenance issue, we forgot to renew our EU repository server, causing it to be taken offline.
We have urgently fixed the auto redirection service (os-repo-auto.ewe.moe) to exclude the affected repository. If you've selected the EU repository (os-repo-lu.ewe.moe) manually, please switch to another mirror.
Taken that the server also serves as the main rsync source (os-repo-rsync.ewe.moe), mirror maintainers should switch to the backup rsync service (os-repo-rsync-bak.ewe.moe) during the downtime.
We expect to restore the service in the next few days, sorry for the inconvenience.
