>>> GNU ELPA used to provide rsync service at rsync://elpa.gnu.org/elpa/,
>>> however there seems to be a problem since 2020-12-26 that rsync fails to
>>> establish connection:
>>>
>>> $ rsync --list-only rsync://elpa.gnu.org/elpa/
>>> @ERROR: chroot failed
>>> rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at
>>> main.c(1653) [Receiver=3.1.0]
>>>
>>> Could you please check the status of rsync deamon?

The problem was introduced when we moved things around for the
introduction of the NonGNU archive.

I believe I have fixed it, so you can now use rsync://elpa.gnu.org/elpa
again, and more generally rsync://elpa.gnu.org/{elpa,nongnu}{,-devel}

Thanks for telling us about it,


        Stefan
