how does the download.opensuse.org redirector deal with dead/unmaintained mirrors?
I just tried to check for Factory updates by downloading this file
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/media.1...
and was redirected to this mirror:
http://ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/ftp.opensuse.org/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-f...
The mirror is obviously useless, the media file is totally outdated (20060616083724), a repodata directory does not exist and most of the RPM subdirectories are almost empty.
Would it be possible to enhance the redirector by auto-detecting such broken mirrors?
It should be able to handle this already. However, the download.opensuse.org redirector cache hasn't been updated for a while, because of the server room maintenance. I'v just restarted the updater.
