<PRE>2011/5/22 Juergen Harms &lt;<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">Juergen.Harms at unige.ch</A>&gt;:
&gt;<i> There appears to be a large number of users who are not satisfied with the
</I>&gt;<i> Mandriva way of mirror selection (count me in). But this should not
</I>&gt;<i> automatically be interpreted to &quot;Mageia needs easyurpm&quot;. Why not submit the
</I>&gt;<i> &quot;standard&quot; mirror selection offered by Mageia to an evolution that takes the
</I>&gt;<i> opinions expressed into account? - and really make things like easyurpm
</I>&gt;<i> unnecessary? Mageia is a community distro!
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Question - what is more difficult: come to a common opinion on a solution
</I>&gt;<i> where everybody is happy, or do the corresponding implementation???
</I>
Of course, as I said, I'd be happy if such additional 3rd party
applications would not be necessary.

I've also listed the requirements: :
- a filter option to select only mirrors with tainted repos for those
who want to use them (a MUST HAVE)
- urpmi/rpmdrake being able to check the selected mirror for
availability and uptodate status before using the mirror (a MUST HAVE)
- ability of urpmi/rpmdrake to switch to another mirror if the
availability and/or uptodate status is not given (a MUST HAVE)
- option to switch the mirror during a session if connection speed is
too slow (compared to other known mirrors) (a NICE TO HAVE)
