Which brings me to something ive been thinking about for awhile a dns system for mirrors setup master mirror and have mirrors mirror from there or just go from cuurent master sites but get them to be consitent with what they mirror where i have a domain for it fedoramirror.net im in Australia so i could go with a tree like this server au.fedoramirror.net /pub/fedora/core/<version>/RPMS/<arch> /pub/fedora/core/<version>/SRPMS/ /pub/fedora/extras/<version>/RPMS/<arch> /pub/fedora/extras/<version>/SRPMS/ /pub/fedora/legacy/<version>/RPMS/<arch> /pub/fedora/legacy/<version>/SRPMS/ /pub/fedora/addons/freshrpms/<version>/RPMS/<arch> /pub/fedora/addons/freshrpms/<version>/SRPMS/ /pub/fedora/addons/livna/<version>/RPMS/<arch> /pub/fedora/addons/livna/<version>/SRPMS/ /pub/fedora/addons/dag/<version>/RPMS/<arch> /pub/fedora/addons/dag/<version>/SRPMS/ something like that say theres a mirror in boston we could provide dns of ma.us.fedoramirror.net that way users would be able to use a consistent naming scheme mirrors could leave off addons or parts of addons or extras or legacy as they wanted but prefferablly they would have all the rpms and maybe srpms. well its an idea Dennis p.s ill have to propose this in a few other places as well but please email me your ideas. -- fedora-legacy-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legacy-list
