Description Manuel Hiebel 2012-11-08 22:39:22 CET

It seems that some mirrors remove some media like 

http://mageia.r0b0t.fr/linux/Mageia/distrib/1/x86_64/media/ no tainted
or http://ftp.mandrivauser.de/mirrors/Mageia/distrib/2/x86_64/media/ no debug

it would be great to remove them from the mirrorlist or we will see a lot post like this one http://www.mageialinux-online.org/forum/topic-13902-1+depots-tainted-injoignables.php#m134705 (in french)

Are there other possibilities to check mirrors for their completeness (i.e. some workaround)?
One year later the installation still fails due to missing files when installed via network.

Pixel had wrotten checks back @mdv.
We could reuse them.

I didn't found anything in their git nor svn (and it looks like their mirrorlist is manual)

Summary: mirrors database should check the media present in the tree => mirrors database should check the media/distrib present in the tree
