DESCRIPTION

mixmaster-update has several built in stats sources. You can view the list of stats sources with the --list-sources parameter.
If you want to make use of another stats source which is not listed in the output of --list-sources you can do so by setting the location of mlist and others in your configuration file.

FILEFORMAT
The update.conf configuration file for mixmaster-update is simple. Lines with whitespace only are ignored as are lines that have the hash our pound ("#") sign as their first non whitespace character.Lines are always truncated at the first hash our pound ("#") sign.
Lines are pairs of keys and values seperated by a convenient amount of whitespace. The key is case insensitive.
Allowed keys:
- source
- Use the builtin stats source with this name
- destination
- Write the downloaded data to this directory rather than ~/.Mix
- proxy
- Set proxies for different protocols. The value is split into two parts: protocol and proxy URL. They are seperated by whitespace.
Example: PROXY http http://proxy.example.com:8080/ PROXY ftp http://proxy.example.com:8080/
The format for allpingers.txt is simple too:
[example] base = http://stats.example.net/ rlist = http://stats.example.net/rlist.txt mlist = http://stats.example.net/mlist.txt rlist2 = http://stats.example.net/rlist2.txt mlist2 = http://stats.example.net/mlist2.txt rlist_html = http://stats.example.net/rlist.html mlist_html = http://stats.example.net/mlist.html rlist2_html = http://stats.example.net/rlist2.html mlist2_html = http://stats.example.net/mlist2.html rchain_html = http://stats.example.net/mlist2.html pgpring = http://stats.example.net/pgp-all.asc pgpring_rsa = http://stats.example.net/pgp-rsa.asc mixring = http://stats.example.net/pubring.mix type2list = http://stats.example.net/type2.list
