ubuntu-mirrors.log

Hello,

109 of 344 mirrors in the 'ubuntu' mirror group in the profiles/thirdpartymirrors file appear to be dead.  These were checked as part of an analysis of all third party mirror lists.  The dead mirrors should probably be removed, and there may be a more up to date mirror list upstream that can be used.  I've attached a list of the current ubuntu mirrors' statuses.

Thanks!

FYI this mirror group is still a wreck.  If all the files we use at mirror://ubuntu/ are mirrorable by gentoo, let's kill this group and just point it at a single upstream URL.

Hi I understand this issue is not high on Gentoo's todo list but would love to see some progress on this bug for the purely selfish reason being that I use the mirror list a lot.

If it helps maintenance, attached is a small script to grab the latest working set of Ubuntu mirrors from upstream.

Thanks :)
