1 I've just done a major update of mirrorselect. While the actual
2 functioning code did not change significantly it has been chunked up,
3 moved....
4
5 short list of changes:
6
7 -- fix the make.conf move. now dual location capable
8 -- now py3 compatible. (3.1 restricted, due to differences, failures)
9 2.6, 2.7, 3.2, 3.3 have been tested, are known to work. testing with
10 pypy, jython and others welcomed
11 -- now works with a POSIX locale as well as unicode locales
12 -- all code has been moved from a mostly monolithic script into
13 site-packages. A minimal script now just imports and calls the
14 site-packages code
15 -- split up the code into several files
16 -- create a usable api
17 -- create a MirrorSelect class which holds all primary functions
18 and logic
19 -- move the logic out of main() into individual step functions.
20 main() now calls the steps in sequence. It is primarily for
21 use by the cli script.

24 While it is not an often used tool past an initial install. It is a
25 very useful tool used by many new users. I would like to get some
26 broader testing by more people to ensure the code is ready for a
27 release. It has not been tested in prefix yet, I'm still getting mine
28 up to date.
