lmao - looks like I'm a little late into this discussion, aren't I? Oh, well, if you guys really think it belongs in the frontend, I guess that's where it's going to stay.
Did you have a look at pacman 3.1 ? There is just one file left, but not sure if it's done the way you wanted : http://archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2007-July/008941.html
DAMNIT - foiled again. Yeah, that's a great way to do the mirror list, although it lacks the capability of saying "Mirror X supports only current and extra" - I suppose if there's a fallback mechanism to the next mirror on the list if the first fails, then it's handled on its own. Thanks Xavier, looks like I was beaten to the punch in both of my thoughts. -- Travis
