I think it's too complicated and difficult to maintain. I have a plan to re-organize ftp mirror listing in the handbook to one like http://www.redhat.com/download/mirror.html. This will be generated from XML file which contains: o hostname (URL) o geographical location o administration team mail address o responsible person mail address o mirror content class (e.g. full-mirror, release-mirror,...) The idea about mirror content class is in discussion at hubs@, not yet concreted. But classification by specific arch only may be possible. I think this XML will be put on the handbook directory, but if it will be useful for other software like sysinstall, should I put it on other place in src/? -- Jun Kuriyama <kuriyama@imgsrc.co.jp> // IMG SRC, Inc. <kuriyama@FreeBSD.org> // FreeBSD Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hubs" in the body of the message
