I did try to do it in MirrorBrain e.g. see https://github.com/openSUSE/mirrorbrain/pull/43

But it didn't come through, I'd say because nobody had enough drive and resources and good understanding how it can be achieved.

In my understanding MirrorBrain is lacking proper job queue and adding it + WebUI would result in managing two different projects inside single github repository.

This is why we have two projects.

I would be glad to do full help if somebody had a good vision how to fix it in mirrorbrain.

We may have geo database outdated, MirrorCache has a route to check that:
