I suppose you could also just have a cron job that runs mirrorselect once a week. It's unlikely a mirror will die quite that fast -- usually they will start to become slow and unreliable first -- and regularly refreshing the urls means that when a mirror doesn't disappear but does change its directory structure, you end up with the preferred structure. But of course the default mirror can work fine as well (albeit often a bit slowly). --=20 Eli Schwartz --------------fQ7NMo3ipKhqgtnLQiiw0jBc-- --------------bsywr76jvEXMO29KM86WGqP7 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="OpenPGP_signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="OpenPGP_signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- wnsEABYIACMWIQTnFNnmK0TPZHnXm3qEp9ErcA0vVwUCZxiHGQUDAAAAAAAKCRCEp9ErcA0vV7Vw AP978sJK5Ugb0W36DtxowNrqTEQyjW+De5IBBUoO2olh8wEAg15hU5JM0j+bBp7OzY3jp+LbAQzH ouPy0jfnifU5ywQ= =YSdP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------bsywr76jvEXMO29KM86WGqP7--
