> Since I'm CCed: There is currently a move of the whole infrastructure
going on. Before that I tried to keep everything compatible with the
original system from a long time ago. That's no longer possible. Long
story short: the website and the binary-files need to be untangled and
that means there are no longer chains of symlink-aliases. Hence, don't use
the `/mirror` subdirectory of the website and I hope the essence of this
ticket is to get rid of this old dependence. The only mirror related
aspect is the `mirror_list` file for the base URLs.
Well, the Sage scripts never used the `mirror/` folder. The problematic
part here is the structure below the base URL; `spkg/` was changed to
`packages` on sagemath.org, but the mirrors all have the classical
structure (plus `upstream/` below `spkg/`).
The new thing on this ticket is also that we now use
[http://www.sagemath.org/mirror_list] (currently hardcoded) again, which
is periodically generated by a script on the server (or at least used to
be).
