Bug 20343 – Addition of the mirrorselect tool to the stage tarballs

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Release Media

I feel that it would be an excellent addition to the stages and it would
certainly ease those hefty installs by speeding up downloads.

Just from browsing the bugs mind you: (do a search for mirrorselect) 
 There are/were problems with livecd environment and mirrorselect -i 
something to do with the way dialog and ncurses handle pipes if I read it right. 
This is being worked on. May be added later?

stage suggestion, would do no good on livecd itself

Yes, we definitely need to have this in the 1.4 stages. John is now maintaining it and should have it in a very usable state soon.

Added to portage unstable.
please merge mirrorselect-0.3 and test.
thanks :)

Sounds great =)

By the way, did I add this to the right section? I'm pretty new to the whole Bugzilla process and I thought the LiveCD area was the appropriate section.. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks,
    Alexander
