I can see two approaches: 1) Use the http status codes to handle cache control. ie. I can add an expires: header to my output, and you could honor that. If no expiry header is given, default to a reasonable value (1 week?) 2) change mirrorlist format to include an expiry parameter (mirrorlist.xml?) -- Michael _______________________________________________ Yum-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/yum-devel
