Thread: Dynamic list of mirrors
Hi Dave, Andreas, So that I can provide a simple script to help Debian people to get the proper entry in their sources.list, can one of you tell me how I could generate a list of available mirrors for pgAdmin III packages synced to what we have on the primary web site ? If it's too hard to generate in a simple script without many and many dependencies, would it be possible that we decide to put a formatted text file which would be regularly updated somewhere on the site ? Something like http://www.pgadmin.org/mirrors.txt with one entry per line: country<tab>URL If not, I may also parse the following url with the risk that this page changes in the future: http://www.pgadmin.org/pgadmin3/download.php#mirrors Regards, Raphaël

Regards, Dave.

Hi Dave, ok, take your time. I'll take a look to the php script download.php and try to adapt it to my needs. If I am not able to get something working, I'll tell you. Regards, Raphaël
