mirrorbrain was previously named openSuse redirector, already mentionned on debian-mirrors (list in Cc) Though I didn't give it a try : * most of the features needed are here * to be clear; would not be applicable to packages yet, because apt doesn't support HTTP redirect yet, see #212732 #79002 * it's PSQL (overkill ?) + apache module in C, * avoid single HTTP redirector -> single point of failure http://mirrorbrain.org/implementation -- Simon Paillard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-release-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
