Description

It would be really nice if we can produce a package capable of not only providing repo/list files to facilitate the rest of the Bigtop deployment, but also capable of selecting the best mirror to use from Apache (something along the lines of netselect, or, if we could, re-use the Apache's own mechanism that is responsible for selecting a mirror for you when you click on http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi)
