</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Hi,
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; 
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; I wrote an application to register mirrors which is currently here:
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; <A HREF="http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/mageia-mirrors/">http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/mageia-mirrors/</A>
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; 
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; I hadn't the time to really check mirror brain, I just had a quick look,
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; so don't ask.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Have you check mirror manager
</I>&gt;<i> ( <A HREF="https://fedorahosted.org/mirrormanager/">https://fedorahosted.org/mirrormanager/</A> ) :)
</I>

Misc, have seen this rabbit, have you seen it, go, run after it !

&gt;<i> &gt; 3) The list look like:
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; 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>&gt;<i> &gt; 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>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> I would add the AS number, as this would allow urpmi to take a mirror
</I>&gt;<i> that is really near from a network point of view.
</I>
My software fetch IP address, so it can find AS number as soon we a way
to find them.

&gt;<i> &gt;   * it is harcoded in urpmi
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Could I suggest to not hardcode it anymore, and maybe place it in a file
</I>&gt;<i> outside of urpmi ( so a distribution could override it more easily if
</I>&gt;<i> needed ).
</I>
I agree.

&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; 3) The content
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;   * tags seems be optional
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;   * mirror point to 2011 not cooker (a symlink at time)
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Well, it depend if we want to let people go on cooker by default or not.
</I>
This URL is used by urpmi on cooker system, so people using cooker are
aware about how it works (at least I hope).

&gt;<i> &gt;   * I can produce same output as I have same information
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;   * Do we need specific line for update since now distribution include
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;     everything
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;   * Do we keep this format ?
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> The format seems fine for me.
</I>
I think there is some problem, for instance, what happend if a country
name contains a ',' ?

But beside this little disadvantages I don't see myself the need to
change it.
