I've more or less funished up the program to check the status of our ftp cdrom mirrors. My program generates a Mirrors.masterlist.status file, with some fields to indicate the state of the mirrors. The fields are chosen so we can run this program every few days, and stop pointing to a mirror if it has been down for a given time period.
And I've modified mirror_list.pl to use the new fields to generate a list that has only known-good mirrors on it. I took the approach of assuming that a site's http mirror is good if its ftp mirror checks out ok. As an example, I've attached a version of the cd image mirror list web page generated with the above. If all this looks good, I'll need help checking it into cvs, as I have not had access to the website cvs since I stopped authoring DWN. I have attached a diff against cvs for my changes, and a current copy of check_cd_mirrors.pl and of Mirrors.masterlist.status (which should both be put into webwml/english/mirror/). I think we should set up a cron to run the check_cd_mirrors.pl every day (or every 3 days, but it's not very expensive to run, though it does take about an hour to complete) on gluck, and commit its changes to the Mirrors.masterlist.status (which can be done on gluck best since the cvs repository is there). -- see shy jo
