If any download fails, the user can go to the "next set" of mirrors,
for example if they are on preference 3, they will get "Retry using
direct fink mirrors" as a choice, if they are on preference 1, they
will get "Retry using external source mirrors".
Do we need user interaction for this? I think interaction is only
required when the software has no way to make a sane decision based on
automated processes. When all mirrors in a set fail it is quite sane to
try those in other sets without asking the user, imho.
Anyone able to set up a full fink tarball mirror so i can test? :) Its
probably only a few gigs.
not a full one, but we can setup a few hundred packages if you want to
tell me which ones you'd like to have.
Things not worked out yet:
- autosync of sources: Need a machine running "fink selfupdate-cvs;
fink fetch-all; rsync to server" every 10 minutes or something
similar. Any ideas there? OpenDarwin is going to help with this. Only
need one machine to do that, the other mirrors can sync with that one.
rsnyc is the best choice imho.
