1 Hello!

4 When collecting information on the SYNC variable for my Summer of Code
5 gentoo stats project I'd like to check if the URL in SYNC is publically
6 known or some private/secret rsync mirror. The page behind
7
8 http://mirrorstats.gentoo.org/rsync/
9
10 seems to show that publicly known list.
11 As parsing the current page format is not trivial I'd like to know
12
13 - if there is code parsing that page anywhere already
14
15 - if the script generating that page could be extended
16 to produce an XML equivalent of the provided information.
17
18 Integration of such a parser into app-portage/mirrorselect could be
19 interesting, too.
