Perhaps I should file a yum RFE to make yum not only select mirrors for access speed, but also for the recentness of their metadata file?
what we had considered was using the fastest mirror plugin to sort the list of mirrors. Then store that sorted list in the repo cache directory. Then redownload the list and re-sort/store it every 8 hours or so, same as how we're storing the repomd.xml data, now.
So is something like that going to happen, or do I need to give an extra (RFE) nudge? :-)
an rfe is not going to nudge anything. Submitting the code is going to make it happen faster.
So I posted a variant to the fastestmirror plugin that does what I described here: https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/pipermail/yum-devel/2005-December/001715.html but so far noone has reacted to it there - maybe the fedora community has more interest?
