 I think it is the mirror closest to the start of sources.list with
 the desired version.  If there is a problem downloading the file,
 apt tries downloading the package with the next mirror with the
 desired version.


this seems to be the case.

Thanks!

Size of an i386 mirror (unstable and testing)

2003-02-11 Thread Lukas Ruf
Dear all,

I am about to setup a local mirror for internal installations.

I run 
  debmirror -a i386 -d unstable -d testing

What is the size of the mirror?  I has now been downloading for quite
a while and du -hs reports 1.3GB although the script arrived only at
the letter e.

Are there any web-sites reportsing statistical information like the
size of a mirror?

wbr,
Lukas

Testing alone will get you to about 5.1G.

I've got a local mirror of unstable and it's about 5.3GB.

Dear all,

* Lukas Ruf [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2003-02-11 12:35]:
   debmirror -a i386 -s main -d unstable -d \
   testing debian --nosource --progress --root=/mirror/debian
 
 resulted in 7.6GB.
 

what is the alogrithm used to determine the server to use?

In my /etc/apt/sources.list I specified about three different
servers.

Read the debmirror manpage... It's hardwired to ftp.debian.org unless you give 
it an alternative host.

pardon, you misunderstood the question: 

  what is the algorithm used in dselect out of a list of different
  servers as specified in /etc/apt/sources.list ?

For debmirror, I know how to specify the server, thanks.
