How does this look for a step in the right direction?
Looks good to me. I use a similar approach for the server stats page. Do you think it would be possible to store those data in the mirrorlist package somehow?
Can you point me to the page you are talking about?
And what do you mean by storing it in the mirrorlist package? The intent here is to make the Django DB the canonical source of information that will be disseminated out to each of the places that need it- the downloads page, a mirrors page, and a way to generate the pacman mirrorlist.
Some mostly-complete work on this stuff is on my branches: http://code.toofishes.net/gitweb.cgi?p=archweb_dev.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/hea... http://code.toofishes.net/gitweb.cgi?p=archweb_pub.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/hea...
Hey all,
Sorry for dropping the ball on this one. I've merged Dan's changes and am in the process of manually adding mirrors. I have entered all the details into the admin except the rsync IPs. I would appreciate it if someone would add those manually at some point. Then somebody can write scripts to automatically generate the rsync whitelist and pacman mirrorlist from this data. (Or did you do that already, Dan?)
I can try to do the rsync IPs this weekend, as well as making scripts/etc. that spit out what we need. For the mirrorlist, we can just make this a view on the public site- for the rsync IP list, we might be able to make it a view on the dev site.
In addition, I had to verify each of the mirrors to check if they have ISOs. In doing that I discovered some of the mirrors in the current database are broken. Specifically these ones:
http://mirror.vmmatrix.net/ArchLinux/ (China) mirrors.jakimowicz.com (France) ftp://ftp.parrswood.net/Mirrors/ftp.archlinux.org/ (UK) ftp://saule.mintis.lt/pub/linux/ (Lithuania)
They should be removed from the mirrorlist and rsync whitelist if they exist there, as I've already removed them from the DB.
Noted, and I'll try to remove them from the mirrorlist this weekend.
I suspect there may be mirrors on the wiki page and/or in the pacman mirror list that are not in the database. It would be nice to get them all synced up.
Agreed. That was the point of this whole exercise.
Finally, there are a bunch of unofficial mirrors listed here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mirrors#Unofficial_mirrors Is there a reason we shouldn't make some/all of these official?? Some of them may have been done already.
I think our only definition of "official" is "do they sync from gerolde?". Not sure if that answers the question, but yeah. -Dan
