The boost downloads are hosted on an additional site
archives.boost.io
which is a Fastly CDN.brorigin1.cpp.al
andbrorigin2.cpp.al
are the origin servers. After runningpublish-release.py
upload a list of new files to "/tmp/boostarchivesinfo/filelist.txt". This informs the origin servers that they should download the new files from jfrog, or wherever they are available. The files would be downloaded anyway, but it's on a 1-day schedule, so the purpose of this feature is to speed up the process.
