Our .htaccess contains +a rewrite rule to forward from site.xml to site--xml.cgi. + +The site--xml.cgi just calls Apache's mirrors.cgi to get a list of available +mirrors. + +The site--xml.html is a template of the real site.xml. The url of the +preferred mirror determined by the cgi script is applied to this template. + +With this trick the update manager always gets a URL to another mirror. +The update manager loads the features and plugins from these mirrors. So +the mirrors must contain the features and the plugins directories. -- cgit v1.2.3
