Subject: [gentoo-dev] mirrorselect: request for extraction of class MirrorParser
Date: Sun, 05 Jul 2009 00:52:21
Message-Id: 4A4FF942.3090700@hartwork.org
1 Hello!
2
3
4 app-portage/mirrorselect is a single file Python program.
5 It contains a class MirrorParser that parses mirrors.xml from the Gentoo
6 website. I would like to use that code (unmodified) for my GSoC
7 project.
8
9 My request is to extract an extra file for that class from
10 mirrorselect so the Gentoo part of smolt can depend on mirrorselect
11 in the near future instead of shipping a "dependency fork" forever.
12
13 mirrorselect's author seems to be Colin Kingsley (tercel@g.o.) whom
14 I cannot find in the list of current gentoo devs.
15
16 Please let me know if you can help/guide/.. with this.
