Hi, The attached (Q&D) patch implements rudimentary mirror list caching. The mirror list will be fully downloaded from sources.redhat.com every time if possible, but if the site is down, a local copy (from last download) will be used. There is no true "caching" (with timestamps, etc), but this could be refined later. I've tested this on two WinXP machines -- seems to work. We might want to apply this soon and release a setup snapshot before this weekend, because of <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-09/msg00993.html>. As usual, the ChangeLog is below. Igor ============================================================================== ChangeLog: 2005-09-29 Igor Pechtchanski <pechtcha@cs.nyu.edu> * site.cc (get_site_list): Store mirror list locally. Use local copy if unable to download. -- http://cs.nyu.edu/~pechtcha/ |\ _,,,---,,_ pechtcha@cs.nyu.edu ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ igor@watson.ibm.com |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Igor Pechtchanski, Ph.D. '---''(_/--' `-'\_) fL a.k.a JaguaR-R-R-r-r-r-.-.-.
