Hi all, I've been hacking away with mod_rewrite + perl and found a way to make a geo-aware URL that will redirect based on the clients IP address... So I've put it in place for testing. I'd like to see this in place as the default pacman mirror in the future to reduce bandwidth on the main server.
If you have 2 minutes, could you please test this url: http://geo-repo.archserver.org And check that it redirects you to the correct location. Given our small list of mirrors at the moment, I've only added redirects for the countries in the table below. Everyone else should default to the main server ( repo.archserver.org). You *should* be able to use this as your pacman mirror, however it is still only 'beta' so no promises ;-) Please file a bug report on the bug tracker for any issues you find. I'm especially interested to here from anyone who can test from Denmark, Finland, Norway or Sweden if the redirect to FTP works as expected.
