#14891: PATCH: use the fastest mirror in fetch phase -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: jmr@macports.org | Owner: macports-tickets@lists.macosforge.org Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts base enhancements Component: base | Version: 1.7.0 Resolution: | Keywords: -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Comment (by jmr@macports.org): Updated the patch to try svn.macports.org last, ping with only one packet, and use a 1-second timeout in the interest of speed. Slow mirrors won't be sorted in quite the correct order, but I don't think that that's a real problem. Working mirrors that just don't respond to ping will go last in any case, but again, things should still generally be better with the patch than without. It would be ideal to run all the pings in parallel, but I don't know how to do that. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/14891#comment:2> MacPorts </projects/macports> Ports system for Mac OS
