The only problem I have with updating the original mirror lists is that the mirrors are not always out of sync. sometimes they're only out of sync for a day or so. So fixing them would mean having to put back the broken mirror later if it suddenly resynchronized. Now, if I got the time I wouldn't mind putting all the mirror results in a little database and tracking them over time. so that mirrors that are in sync the majority of the time don't get checked as often or some such thing. > >From their website I didn't think they have a reasonable free version. > The Fedora Extras package mentions a 97% accurate database for the > free version which does sound ok to me. 97% is much better than what we had before :) > Let's see if .cgi holds up or if e.g. we can use the timezone setting > or other items to start with sane defaults. the code is checked into /cvs/fedora/check-mirrors if you want to see if there are other ways of doing it. -sv -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
