mirrorbrain does currently not support https. It simply does not know about it. That explains, can we somehow fix or work around that? Basically someone would need to do some work on mirrorbrain itself, the code. It would be very nice to support https as well as ipv6.
Or you could switch from mirrorbrain to mirrorbits, which does support both, and to which most of the rest of the world switched by now, due to the complete lack of any mirrorbrain development (or even merging of existing patches) for years now.
That's my impression as well, it's likely less effort than trying to beat mirrorbrain into shape.
1. we looked at mirrorbits and also at mirrormanager from fedora. both are not solving our main problem. 2. actually you want to turn off metalinks support or at least the partial fetching in zypper to get rid of the suboptimal pattern that started this thread. 3. https://github.com/openSUSE/mirrorbrain/wiki/Roadmap We have a working proof of concept for a much faster scanning process which allows us to implement other things from the roadmap. -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mirror+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: mirror+owner@opensuse.org
