This tools is designed to help user to setup urpmi to use mirror as source of packages.

1) USING IT

urpmi.setup is a simple perl script:
It retrieve a list of mirror from a web site an setup urpmi with it.

Start without any arguments it retrieve the list and and launch appropriate urpmi.addmedia.
Option are: (a '*' indicate you can set it in /etc/urpmi/mirror.config):

  -h|--help           Give option and some information:
Information give are calculate with all option giving.

  -t|--test           It do nothing, else showing what it is suppose to do

* -v|--verbose        Make it verbose

* -u|--url     url    Url to use to retrieve list
*   |--mdkver  ver    force mdk version to ver
*   |--arch    arch   force architecture to arch
Take care to use a compatible arch 

2) CONFIG FILE

All words following a # are ignored.
Format is simple:
PARAM=VALUE
For option option wich do not need any value (verbose), any are ok.

3) FILE FORMAT

The mirror list should be set like this:

Name:Version:Arch:Localisation:address with hdlist...

- Name is the name of the source, usally main, contrib or update
- Version is the mandrake version. A * means it concern all version.
- Arch is the architecture (ppc,i586,i386,noarch...). A * means it concern all architecture.
Actually, a noarch source is select for all arch, but i386 != i586 != athlon.
- Localistation is for information only, can be empty.

The rest of the line is the url.

example:
main:cooker:i586:Sweden:ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/mandrake-devel/cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS with ../base/hdlist.cz
