Hi all, I have a wish, but I'm not sure if it was already in Yum. In my office network, HTTP is always allowed, but FTP was blocked. When I use fastestmirror plugin, there will be ftp mirror included, and it cause long delay when determining the fastest mirror for this site, because the connection is blocked, and have to wait until it timeout. I would like to have a setting in Yum that I can say exclude_protocol="ftp" or include_protocol="http" where fastestmirror plugin will only try to determine the fastest mirror based on the protocol that was served. I'm not a programmer, so I cannot contribute my code. But I really wish someone out there can implement the feature.
mirrormanager and yum will sort mirrors so that http is first. so you can kinda already get what you want. and this plugin http://skvidal.fedorapeople.org/misc/prune-by-regex.py will let you prune out mirrors by a regex -sv _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum
