Below is a link to a python script that tests the active and up-to- date mirrors, selects one of the 3 fastest (to be "fair" and distribute the load, there is much random noise anyways) and then returns the link to the now mirrored standard packages. I think that's a nice addition, but I'm not familiar with the "sage -update" script and the whole process. So, someone should look into this please. Tell me if the script works for you! http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/schilly/sage_mirror_upgrade.py Harald --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
