mirrors.tcz
« on: February 21, 2011, 08:58:27 PM »
Ok, core elements are gone in the repository, to my great joy, but mirrors.tcz disappeared from the web without reappearing in the repository.
I have a copy of that package, and then I can use yet, but I think he should live with xlibs and xprogs

P.s. is possible change the mirror in prompt line?

OK. It was part oversight and part ibiblio migration. When I first created this tiny data file extension everything was fine with ibiblio. When I wanted to release 3.5, ibiblio mirrors were not working. Therefore I did not post this extension at that time. It is now posted.

Thanks roberts; I could forward the request for a "tce-mirrors" that displays a list of mirrors in a terminal allowing you to choose the desired one (such as ab or Xsetup for instance)?

Hmm, editing a text file isn't that difficult, is it?

I am an imperfect person, sometimes I could be sarcastic but I try to restrain myself.
edit a text file is really simple, but if you open that file you note that there is only one mirror and not entire list commented by #

accepted.
The reason I asked is my reluctance to having multiple ways of doing the same thing.

Basically for me would be fine even commenting on a list (if it were to become so in the future, appbrowser overwrites the entire file with a single mirror at each change).
But I think a multiple choice is more near to the style of the distro.
On balance the button at the appbrowser is a multiple ways of doing the same thing.

Surely there is a way to improve a style. Other than that I again agree.

I'm glad that for every function there is a corresponding textual and graphical.

Done. Look for it starting with v3.6.
