Download extension for mediawiki
File: $mirror/MIRRORS.txt contains current list of mirrors
File: $mirror/vX.X/releases/.list.txt holds a list of the current
releases iso’s, (inc dir relative $mirror) with date, time and size, its
in format:
date[space]
time[space]filename[space]
size
2010-03-18 10:50:34.000000000 v1.10/releases/alpine-1.10.1-x86.iso 202334208
2010-03-18 10:48:50.000000000 v1.10/releases/alpine-mini-1.10.1-x86.iso 36532224
2010-03-18 10:49:33.000000000 v1.10/releases/alpine-vserver-1.10.1-x86.iso 39321600
File: $mirror/.latest.txt is a symbolic link that will direct to latest alpine .list.txt file. This way when alpine 2.0 comes out we point it to v2.0/releases/.list.txt
The idea is to extend the latestalp.php mediawiki extension to read those files and make a drop down mirror list inclusion for download form just like in http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
