sure, but that would be either voluntary or an extra requirement to place on mirrors - we dont need a total sample set though - i think most users do use the redirector, as it is the only source enabled in default mirrorlist - if so, it should be able capture statistically significant results, without requiring or imposing anything on mirrors - we have so little information about usage now, it would be difficult to determine even that much
it is true though, that any user who prioritizes a specific mirror but still keeps the redirector enabled could skew the results - that is the recommended configuration in the mirrorlist file: either to use the redirector exclusively, or to keep it enabled with a lower priority to a preferred mirror - maybe that recommendation would need to be reversed to suggest the redirector be used only mutually exclusive to any other explicit mirror, in order to gather representative samples _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.parabola.nu/mailman/listinfo/dev
