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
Although, MM 1.3.x can't do much more useful than CentOS' current mirror system. I personally would wait for 1.4 if deploying it twice is a burden.
