New Suggestion. Command to select Entropy mirrors [Solved]

[albfneto]

I suggested the development of a new package.

an modification of the Gentoo`s mirrorselect command that may select mirrors for Entropy.
seems to be a useful package.

it has been in Entropy for months now....

Code: Select all

equo repo mirrorsort sabayonlinux.org

[albfneto]

yes , joost, i know this.
this is for Sort the mirrors based on the fastest to slowest.

but i suggested, a manual, semi graphic choose for mirrors, interactive, by name, etc..., country, continent, as in

Code: Select all

# mirrorselect -i
# mirrorselect -i -r


[joost]

Then we should start with having more mirrors.

joost, I can't see that command, and instructions on how to use it, mentioned in the SL Wiki. If you post brief instructions here then I'll update the Entropy page in the SL Wiki accordingly.

[joost]

It simply pings mirrors and based on the response times it orders the mirrors in /etc/entropy/repositories.conf

I've added it to the Entropy page under Section 7.4 (Available Repositories mirrors).
