Big news: Now multiple instances of "Mirror Brains" can be run on a single machine. Apache can run instances separated from each other, each in a virtual host.
The main implication (which makes this very important for me) is that now I can work to set up an instance for openoffice.org and samba.org, two possible candidate users that I would like to convince.
A few days ago, I gave a presentation about the current state at the openSUSE offices. See the presentations page. It is updated for newest state of affairs, and gives details about the deployment at openSUSE and things that can be learnt from it. It is available as ogg video and PDF (slides). The video includes a live demo of two popular metalink clients.
Released the mirrordoctor, a commandline tool to maintain mirror entries in the database. Finally! You can watch a screencast to get an impression.
Released mod_zrkadlo 1.8:
metalink-hasher script added, to prepare hashes for injection into metalink filesrsyncusers analysis tool added. It takes an rsync log (which may be compressed) and prints a list of hosts that connected, sorted per rsync module.rsyncinfo, which can survey the sizes of rsync modules on remote rsync servers.
