Hi,

This patch adds x.org mirroring for Lunar.

How to install
Patch using xorg-mirror.patch from / directory
Put XORG file in /etc/lunar/mirrors/

Run lunar and select your favourite mirror for XOrg from mirror list.

Then patch your x.org module details file to use mirror system.

Example for XOrg-test:
DETAILS file from XOrg-test module.
Remove this:
SOURCE_URL[0]=http://xorg.freedesktop.org/X11R${VERSION}/src/
SOURCE_URL[1]=http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/ftp.x.org/pub/X11R${VERSION}/src/
SOURCE_URL[2]=http://www.mirrormonster.com/ftp.x.org/pub/X11R${VERSION}/src/
SOURCE2_URL[0]=http://xorg.freedesktop.org/X11R${VERSION}/src/
SOURCE2_URL[1]=http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/ftp.x.org/pub/X11R${VERSION}/src/
SOURCE2_URL[2]=http://www.mirrormonster.com/ftp.x.org/pub/X11R${VERSION}/src/
SOURCE3_URL[0]=http://xorg.freedesktop.org/X11R${VERSION}/src/
SOURCE3_URL[1]=http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/ftp.x.org/pub/X11R${VERSION}/src/
SOURCE3_URL[2]=http://www.mirrormonster.com/ftp.x.org/pub/X11R${VERSION}/src/

Add this:
SOURCE_URL=$XORG_URL/X11R${VERSION}/src/
SOURCE2_URL=$XORG_URL/X11R${VERSION}/src/
SOURCE3_URL=$XORG_URL/X11R${VERSION}/src/

Sorry for not providing details file patch, but I use my own xorg-test module 
which is different from official one.

I made mirror list using servers from Lunar's XFREE86 file and from official 
x.org mirror list. Then I changed path to x.org files for items from XFREE86 
file. Finally I browsed all mirrors and removed broken links, and those 
servers without x.org 6.8.2, 6.9.0, 7.0 and 7.1 sources.
Thanks to this mirror list is fresh and valid for all x.org versions Lunar 
currently use.

have a nice day,
Zbigniew 'zbiggy' Luszpinski
