Bug 287356 – stabilize app-portage/mirrorselect-2.0.0

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Jeremy Olexa (darkside) (RETIRED) 2009-10-02 14:16:54 UTC]

Hello,
I don't see any bugs with mirrorselect-2.0.0. If it is ready for stabilization, please consider doing so. This version uses mirrors3.xml instead of mirrors.xml. mirrors.xml is just another file that the mirror-admins have to edit. I (we) would like to eliminate that and soon forget about mirrors.xml because mirrors3.xml is more maintained and easier to use.

Thanks.

Sebastian might have some input. :)

Thanks for CC'ing me.  I believe the changes we made were fairly trivial and had more than 2 eyes on them.  My vote for stabilization.

On editing: is it all scripted already or does any mirrors*.xml required manual edits besides mirrors3.xml?

We have to manually add them to mirrors{,3}.xml. I'd be interested in testing some tool out if you are so inclined..We can talk about it outside of this bug.

Yeah mirrorselect-2.0.0 should be ready :)
So please stabilize.

Doesn work correctly on alpha:

Hm, I can't reproduce it here (AMD64 hardened and normal, X86 hardened).
Could you try to rebuild expat/python?

[Comment 9 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2009-10-16 14:43:37 UTC]

Stable for HPPA.

[Comment 10 Tobias Klausmann (RETIRED) 2009-10-18 15:11:39 UTC]

Rebuilding python and expat did not help. So I remerged pyxml and libxml2 - and voilá, mirrorselect works. 

Stable on alpha.
