> closer.lua only processes mirrors that have a last updated date in the last 24 hours. The date is taken from the mirrors.list file, so if that is not updated for a day then no mirrors will match - not even the backup ones.
> If no backup mirrors are found, then the script currently fails with:
> lua: ./closer.lua:114: attempt to index a nil value (local 'bmap')
> stack traceback:
> ./closer.lua:114: in function 'handle'
> The previous version of the script (mirrors.cgi) took a different approach.
> It checked the date of mirrors.list, and only considered mirrors that were more than a day old relative to the date of the file. It also ignored the date for the backup mirrors, so these always matched.
> There are several issues here:
> 1) backup mirrors should not be subject to the staleness check
> 2) if no backup mirrors are found, the code should not crash
> 3) the staleness check needs to consider the date when the liveness data was last update
> Patch to follow
