I am writing a script for someone running foreman and he is using squid as a proxy. Now the issue is that he is using the mirror api: http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=7&arch=x86_64&repo=updates and he the receives a tiny list of mirrors. So I wrote this script: https://gist.github.com/elico/dc1af72344231d6d49af4eacecfae8df#file-get-full -mirrolist-rb To fetch the urls of all the active mirrors from the page: http://mirror-status.centos.org/ And it works pretty nice. The idea is that it will be updated once every while in an incremented way. The csv looks promising but I added my 1 Cent to bucket with the first script.

If I were you, I would set up a local mirror using rsync from some external mirror, and point the local machines using CentOS to that mirror. That would save bandwidth, and save you from maintaining that ACL (even if it's automated). _______________________________________________ CentOS-mirror mailing list CentOS-mirror at centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-mirror
