Dependencies required:
- ping
- grep
- sed
- awk
The following are optional:
- scamper
The algorithm for the script measures the speed of each mirrorlist and repository within the yum mirrorlist. By using the ping command the script will capture the time for an icmp packet to return from the target destination
- The script will capture 4 packets per site
- awk and sed will be used to extract the last two lines of the ping results
For each site, the data will be stored in a database for future references.
- The database will be rearranged by using sed by ascending order
- After the rearrangement the data will be append to the current yum static file.
When yum performs an update or installation of a package it will refer to the static file's first line and work its way down the list.
This algorithm will execute in the following condtions
- A change in gateway IP address
- Change in DNS server IP address
Project Plan
Tracking
- Bugzilla or Trac will be used for review management.
Goals by Release
Goals for each release and plans for reaching those goals:
- 0.1 - Initial packaging. Package sent for review in Fedora (if this is useful on devices beyond the Pi) or Pidora (if useful only on the Pi)
- 0.2 - Review issues addressed, package through the review process.
- 0.3 - Package in Fedora or Pidora.
