DNF Mirror list generation

[berolinux]

The best way to support mirrors in DNF is replacing

baseurl=http://abf-downloads.openmandriva.org/cooker/repository/x86_64/main/release/
with
mirrorlist=http://abf-downloads.openmandriva.org/mirrors?platform=cooker&arch=x86_64&repo=main&tree=release (or similar)

where that script would - based on the input parameters - put out a text file containing a list of mirrors, e.g.

http://abf-downloads.openmandriva.org/cooker/repository/x86_64/main/release/
http://distro.ibiblio.org/openmandriva/cooker/repository/x86_64/main/release/
http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/downloads.openmandriva.org/cooker/repository/x86_64/main/release/

Would be nice to have a way to handle that in abf. (Alternatively, we can just run a script on another vhost.)

Example of functional mirrorlist bits from Mageia (obviously outside of abf):
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/mageia-repos/current/SOURCES/mageia-core-repo?view=markup&pathrev=1399571
https://www.mageia.org/mirrorlist/?release=7&arch=x86_64&section=core&repo=release

Following up on question in IRC:

[02:51:45] well i got it, but how mageia or centos generates such list by requests ? any info?
[02:52:12] they looking for IP of request and what?

No need to do anything, dnf takes care of it. Just a static list is ok.

This is the current list of mirrors:
http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/downloads.openmandriva.org
http://openmandriva.c3sl.ufpr.br
http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/openmandriva
http://ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/openmandriva
http://ftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/openmandriva
http://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/openmandriva
http://mirror.lagoon.nc/pub/openmandriva
http://mirror.rise.ph/openmandriva
http://ftp.icm.edu.pl/pub/Linux/dist/openmandriva
http://ftp.vectranet.pl/mirror/openmandriva.org
http://ftp.pwr.wroc.pl/OpenMandriva
http://mirror.yandex.ru/openmandriva
http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/openmandriva.org
http://ftp.yzu.edu.tw/Linux/openmandriva
http://distro.ibiblio.org/openmandriva
http://abf-downloads.openmandriva.org

The script essentially just needs to

for i in $mirrors; do
echo $i/$platform/repository/$arch/$repo/$release
done

For now (need to get something on that iso...), I've created a new virtual host and put a simple php script there.
http://mirrors.openmandriva.org/mirrors.php?platform=cooker&arch=znver1&repo=main&release=release

Source of the php script:

<?php
header('Content-Type: text/plain');
$mirrors = [
        "http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/downloads.openmandriva.org",
        "http://openmandriva.c3sl.ufpr.br",
        "http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/openmandriva",

];
foreach ($mirrors as $mirror) {
        print($mirror . '/' . $_GET["platform"] . '/repository/' . $_GET["arch"] . '/' . $_GET["repo"] . '/' . $_GET["release"] . "/\n");
}
?>
