Test a given Arch Linux mirror against the Tier0 mirror

mirrortest

Test a given Arch Linux mirror against the Tier0 mirror

Installing

$ pip install .

This project depends only on pydantic.

Running

The password is the one-time generated token for the tier0 access you get as a mirror admin.

$ python -m mirrortest --tier0 'https://torxed:<password>@repos.archlinux.org/$repo/os/$arch' --mirror 'https://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/archlinux/'

Once run, it creates a ~/.config/mirrortest/config.json session.
After which --tier0 is no longer a required parameter.

Keep in mind that your password is stored in plain text in the session config.

Default values

MAX_TIER1_SYNC_DRIFT_SEC :int = 3600 * 2  # 2h
MAX_TIER2_SYNC_DRIFT_SEC :int = 3600 * 6  # 6h
CON_TIMEOUT :int = 5 # A reasonable HTTP connection timeout limit
DEFAULT_TIER_NR :int = 2  # Which is the default tier to assume without giving --tier

Development

If you wish to run it directly as you edit the source code, you can cd into the cloned directory and run

python -m mirrortest --mirror '<mirror url>'
