#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 wsiegrist@apple.com): I tested with and without the patch on 2 random ports: less and php5. less: the svn.macosforge.org sites won and were tried first, even though they dont have the files. You should probably exclude macosforge and macports sites from the ping test until we have mirroring going. php5: it took longer to fetch because it waited up to 5s for each mirror it seems. Maybe try to find a winner with "-t1", then "-t5" to minimize the impact of downed mirrors. Overall I like the idea though. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/14891#comment:1> MacPorts </projects/macports> Ports system for Mac OS
