Which obviously also means that we need a way to get the current mirror database into a format which one of those solutions can use. But as it is a rather simple format, I don't see any real issues there.
Adrian Reber has a start with ~15 mirrors, probably hand-populated. A script to convert from your format into MM is a couple hours worth of work I expect, nothing significant.
Yes, it is hand-populated. Is there already a CentOS machine where MM can be installed?
Matt, do you plan to update the epel-6 MM package to the 1.4 branch or would you recommend installing the current 1.3.x package?
Last night I merged pingou's work to port to TG2 into MM mainline (on top of what is currently 1.3.7). I'm hoping to find time this week to go through the ~100 patches that are on the 1.4 branch, and port those conceptual changes to mainline on TG2. Then the testing begins in earnest - it's a good bit of code change. Then we talk about packaging for EPEL etc.
For expediency here, CentOS should start with MM 1.3.x as-is; tell me what works well for you, what other features you uncover you need to really consider MM, and we'll go from there.
Thanks, Matt
