+title: US Mirror Retirement
+layout: post
+---
+
+The alpha.us.repo.voidlinux.org mirror has been retired.  Users should
+switch to https://repo-us.voidlinux.org for continued service out of
+the central US.  As part of the switch the US tier one mirror has
+gained TLS, and is running on a more reliable host.
+
+All contributors with in-flight PRs should rebase to ensure that the
+latest URL is reflected in your branch's CI configuration.
