Maybe use mirrorlist instead? We could distribute it with the new
alphacore-release and manage the mirrorlist in a central point. Everyone
who has a mirror could be added to the list then...

Do you use mrepo for this? It's easy to use and I already sent the
author some alpha-specific patches; Means, it should work out of the
box. :-)

That's a good idea. However, that's exactly the reason why I want alpha
as a secondary arch for Fedora. We could manage everything from one
central point...

You can do this with mrepo :-) I also supports lftp and you can mirror
rdsor over ftp, but it's slow and sometimes hangs... That's why I wanted
rsync...

Tested, works. :-)
