So let's compare a normal mirror location with those from arch-games and what we know works. normal: ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/core/os/i686 works: http://pseudoform.org/arch-games/games/i686 not work: http://repo.exigen.org/arch/games/i686 rankmirrors assumes the repository name is the third component from the end; the normal URL would thus produce core and look for core.db.tar.gz and the working arch-games URL would see arch-games and look for arch-games.db.tar.gz. The non-working URLs thus are guessing the db name incorrectly; the one I listed above would look for arch.db.tar.gz and fail to find it, thus the unreachable in the output. I cross-posted this to pacman-dev, but we have a bit of a oddity here as the rankmirrors python script was recently replaced by a bash version, and it does an absolutely abominable job on this mirrorlist due to the inline comments: $ rankmirrors test-mirrorlist # Server list generated by rankmirrors on 2010-03-20 # # Arch Games repository mirrorlist # url `' is malformed. I'm not super thrilled about this regression. Either way, I think we should probably add an option to the scripts to use a designated file as the target for rankmirrors testing; this way you could specify a DB filename or any other file as the target to test against. -Dan
