One addition that will come in Fedora 9 (I don't think it made it
into
F8 but I could be wrong) is that anaconda, the installer, will be able
to use the mirrorlist directly. This will avoid the user having to
type in a URL for their country at all - it will be automagic based on
GeoIP, just like the updates are.
That should be great..but I was talking about _manual_ downloads, not
anaconda or yum.
For example when someone wants to download the .iso files et al.
Won't this be more easier than traversing the list?
Jef Spaleta and Jima have been working on auto-generating these
maps.
http://fedoraproject.org/maps/ for examples. There's code in the
Fedora admin git tree for them.
Thanks for the pointer.
