Development (if you want to hack something up, list the projects here and the tasks)


 * need compat-python26 package (User:Izhar)
 * compat-python24 package should be simple enough as a base
 * submit for review, if rejected, store in private repo


 * better yum-plugin-fastestmirror
 * yum-plugin-fastestmirror algorithm is broken by design
 * write a new plugin, and submit for review
 * the new plugin should time the download speed of a single file from the mirrors, and decide based on the download sped
 * the new plugin should only time the mirrors on demand, rather than on every run
