Re: [arch-general] rankmirrors and new mirrrorlist format

Hi Erik,

Can you post a copy of the output? I'm using reflector and rankmirrors, and
I get this:
# 2010-08-12 15:33
# generated by reflector
# ranked by rankmirrors
Server = ftp://archlinux.c3sl.ufpr.br/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
Server = ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
Server = http://archlinux.c3sl.ufpr.br/$repo/os/$arch

Server = http://mirror.yandex.ru/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
Server =
http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/linux/distributions/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch

Yes, it's like this:
[hu...@archlinux ~]$ rankmirrors -t /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
Querying servers, this may take some time...
   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *
 Servers sorted by time (seconds):
ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch : timeout
ftp://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch : unreachable
ftp://ftp.hosteurope.de/mirror/ftp.archlinux.org/$repo/os/$arch :

These are obviously not reachable URLs, but pacman fills in $repo and $arch
from pacman.conf so it's working just fine for me.

Yes, pacman is working fine.

Should I file a rankmirrors bug?

Cheerio,
Mathias
