My soft support all source you want, for all arch and all version. http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon is a part of it. I maintain personnaly the list of mirror, then adding club mirror is easy. But you have to find a way to protect club's rpm, maybe with http/ftp/rsync over ssh passwd ? But think I won't bore poeple who use download edition or won't use club. Actually, the list of mirror is generate by a php script dynamically. The internal list I maintain contain macros to make update easy. Another way is to use my soft on club's web site, it can retrieve plf's list and add your own list. It is open, as me.
