Hi, given the latest fuss[1] about GPL compliance for Linux distributions, I put together a sources iso for CRUX 2.2 (as of release date), for now available here: http://crux.nu/~sip/sources/ so we can temporally point people there when sources are requested, or move the iso to the master ftp server if needed. I'm not sure about the status of pre-2.2 versions since we've been officially taking care of CRUX releases starting from 2.2. In any case, I think we should take care of this topic while working on 2.3.

This could easily be combined with a fallback mirror for when URL's are unavailable (think wget $url || wget http://crux.nu/src/`basename $url` in pkgmk)

I'd like to have ability also to specify mirrors by hand. Attached patch woks for me. It is simple and somewhat ugly template, functionality is near to what I want to be implemented. + One line in pkgmk.conf + Mirror maintaining is 50-80 ugly bash lines. Or even less if http://crux.nu/src/ will contain contrib sources, which is unlikely to be true =) -- Mikhail Kolesnik ICQ: 260259143 IRC: mike_k at freenode/#crux, rusnet/#yalta Jabber: mike_k@jabber.lafox.net NIC handle: MKK83-UANIC

NIH syndrome? ;-) Seriously, patch like that is written almost three times (two really, but first was somewhat similar). Maybe one of the core developers will review one of the patch and apply it to pkgutils? Otherwise we'll get new mirrors-patches every half year. :-) -- Anton (irc: bd2)

So, it is a feature, which people do really want. Nice to know, thanks and sorry. -- Mikhail Kolesnik ICQ: 260259143 IRC: mike_k at freenode/#crux, rusnet/#yalta Jabber: mike_k@jabber.lafox.net NIC handle: MKK83-UANIC

Nothing to sorry about, Mike. I think that more patches like that will be written, then [I hope] soon some of them will be applied. ;-) The really pity fact is: none of the patches applied. And I didn't heard any reasons except "we don't have own mirrors, so why should we have mirrors support in pkgutils". -- Anton (irc: bd2)
Hi, Speaking of which. What are the plans with the libpkgutils ? Is this project started ? What's the progress like ? On the "Sources" note, I think cptn's script to check for missing sources is quite good. A mirror might be costly in terms of bandwidth/traffic requirements. cheers James -- -- -"Problems are Solved by Method" - - James Mills <prologic@shortcircuit.net.au> - HomePage: http://shortcircuit.net.au/~prologic/ - Phone: +61732166379 - Mobile: +61404270962 - Skype: therealprologic - MSN: prologic@shortcircuit.net.au - ICQ: 98888663 - IRC: irc://shortcircuit.net.au#se Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.

I think of sources mirror as of nearest host, allowing to use some local traffic exchange point [1] like SWISSIX, FICIX, UA-IX or even home-LAN... to save money and Internet uplink bandwidth at first. Some crux users over the world should take care of such a mirror availability.
