Subject: Include 07mirror.yml and 07mirror.json in the list of index files to fetch
The "MIRROR.yml" format files are a highly useful addition to the minicpan index file set. They allow a simple method for aging the minicpan checkout (without the need to load CPAN.pm) and a couple of other useful bits and pieces.
The age of the mirror can be determined from the Last-Updated header in 02packages. I don't see another reason to mirror these *by default* but they can be gotten easily via config. Am I missing a killer use? Otherwise: closed -- rjbs
