I've added that to my working tree now. Append '&netblock=0' to disable the netblock code. > Could we possible filter by protocol (http/ftp, rsync)? Uhh, hmm. Could we, yes. If a host serves both http and ftp right now, mm only returns the http URLs (faster setup time). To change that would be somewhat difficult, we'd have to know a lot more data at client lookup time than I currently keep track of in the mirrorlist_cache. > I'm not sure this one is still current, but formerly I had to move > around directories because some mirror I was syncing from did not use > the exact same full tree the master mirror was; if it is still current, > could that be flagged and filtered on-request by mirror-manager? They only need to have sub-trees (e.g. everything below pub/fedora/linux) the same. They can put that sub-tree anywhere they want as long as they tell mm about it. If they put things willy-nilly, then yes, mm won't find it. Thanks, Matt -- Matt Domsch Linux Technology Strategist, Dell Office of the CTO linux.dell.com & www.dell.com/linux
