Hi there, I would like to write a script to download the CentOS generic cloud images with the intention of making them eventually available to oVirt users via the oVirt public Glance repository. For that purpose I need to: 1. list the CentOS generic cloud images 2. list mirrors from where I could potentially download those images I could try to parse the HTML here [1], but I'd rather just get the lists from somewhere in some machine readble format if possible. So is this information or parts of it available in some machine-readable format somewhere? [1]: http://cloud.centos.org/centos/7/images/ Thanks, Barak -- Barak Korren bkorren at redhat.com RHEV-CI Team

If you file a requst at bugs.centos.org and point me at it ( ideally assign the issue to me ), I can work out the required bits. What sort of info would you expect to see in this beyond - filename - date of last upates - centos ver - arch - file format - sha256um regards -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

I've opened a request here: https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=10730, but it does not seem I can assign it to you directly. What about the mirror list? is that already available or does it need to be requested as well? -- Barak Korren bkorren at redhat.com RHEV-CI Team

It'd be awesome if we could coordinate in format and location.
