Package the Mirrorlist CGI Script Library
Project Description
This project will create a script that will optimize the performance of all yum updates and package installation.
Project Leader
Project Contributor(s)
- TBA
Project Details
Dependencies required:
- ping
- ifconfig
- grep
- sed
- awk
The following are optional:
- scamper
Algorithm 1
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 conditions
- A change in gateway IP address
- Change in DNS server IP address
- running fedora for the first time
Algorithm 2 Another Algorithm that can implemented is to rearrange the mirrorlist according to location Note: This algorithm will not be as reliable as the first therefore time invested on this algorithm will be low The algorithm will extract the current location of the device via time zone and geographically locate each site's location The algorithm will rearrange the database according to the closest site server. This works by a process of elimination
- By country
- Province/State
- City
Conditions for this algorithm:
- if ICMP is disabled
- the bandwidth is to low to download
- change of location
- restrictions on iptables
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 - Completion of the script
- 0.2 - Review issues addressed, testing, compilation issue (if found)
- 0.3 - Package in Fedora 19-20
