#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: Recognise invalid hostnames like `image_magick.veidrodis.com`. (Sigh.) Check that the output from ping can be parsed as a number. Switched to using 3 ping packets and a 3-second timeout, since we effectively only have to wait for it once now that the pings run in parallel. Also simplified the code a bit. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/14891#comment:7> MacPorts </projects/macports> Ports system for Mac OS
