<PRE>Le mercredi 03 novembre 2010 à 19:47 +0100, Olivier Thauvin a écrit :
><i> Hi,
</I>><i>
</I>><i> I wrote an application to register mirrors which is currently here:
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/mageia-mirrors/">http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/mageia-mirrors/</A>
</I>><i>
</I>><i> I hadn't the time to really check mirror brain, I just had a quick look,
</I>><i> so don't ask.
</I>
Have you check mirror manager
( <A HREF="https://fedorahosted.org/mirrormanager/">https://fedorahosted.org/mirrormanager/</A> ) :)
><i> In all case the goal of my application is to allow everyone to register
</I>><i> a new mirror, and provide a list usuable by urpmi.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> It is time to write the part of code responsible of the list build.
</I>><i> So come some questions.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> First let me explain the current mandriva process:
</I>><i>
</I>><i> 1) At time we have an /etc/product.id given by
</I>><i> mandriva-release-Free-2011.0-0.1mdv2011.0
</I>><i> On my system it contains:
</I>><i> vendor=Mandriva,distribution=Mandriva Linux,type=Basic,version=2011.0,branch=Devel,release=1,arch=x86_64,product=Free
</I>><i>
</I>><i>
</I>><i> 2) The base URL list is hardcoded in urpmi:
</I>><i> "<A HREF="https://api.mandriva.com/mirrors/$product_type.$product_version.$arch.list">https://api.mandriva.com/mirrors/$product_type.$product_version.$arch.list</A>"
</I>><i> On my system the correct url is:
</I>><i> <A HREF="https://api.mandriva.com/mirrors/basic.cooker.x86_64.list">https://api.mandriva.com/mirrors/basic.cooker.x86_64.list</A>
</I>><i>
</I>><i> 3) The list look like:
</I>><i> continent=EU,zone=DE,country=Germany,latitude=51.97,longitude=7.63,version=2011.0,arch=x86_64,type=distrib,url=<A HREF="rsync://ftp.join.uni-muenster.de/mandrakelinux/devel/2011.0/x86_64">rsync://ftp.join.uni-muenster.de/mandrakelinux/devel/2011.0/x86_64</A>
</I>><i> continent=EU,zone=DE,country=Germany,latitude=51.97,longitude=7.63,version=2011.0,arch=x86_64,type=updates,url=<A HREF="rsync://ftp.join.uni-muenster.de/mandrakelinux/devel/2011.0/x86_64">rsync://ftp.join.uni-muenster.de/mandrakelinux/devel/2011.0/x86_64</A>
</I>
I would add the AS number, as this would allow urpmi to take a mirror
that is really near from a network point of view.
><i> So, question and my own POV about this:
</I>><i> 1) /etc/product.id
</I>><i> * I don't like this file, I think it is redundant with
</I>><i> /etc/mandriva-release
</I>><i> * Why "basic" and not "Free" since it is the "product" flag ? Dunno
</I>><i> * Notice "cooker" does not appear in this file
</I>><i>
</I>><i> 2) The url
</I>><i> * I suggest to use <A HREF="http://mirror.mageia.org/api/,">http://mirror.mageia.org/api/,</A> other proposal
</I>><i> welcome (need some review with sys admin)
</I>><i> * Obviously the valid list version is 'cooker' not 2011
</I>><i> * it is harcoded in urpmi
</I>
Could I suggest to not hardcode it anymore, and maybe place it in a file
outside of urpmi ( so a distribution could override it more easily if
needed ).
><i> 3) The content
</I>><i> * tags seems be optional
</I>><i> * mirror point to 2011 not cooker (a symlink at time)
</I>
Well, it depend if we want to let people go on cooker by default or not.
><i> * I can produce same output as I have same information
</I>><i> * Do we need specific line for update since now distribution include
</I>><i> everything
</I>><i> * Do we keep this format ?
</I>
The format seems fine for me.
