Well, there's existing precedent in archive.debian.org by ftp-masters, :) such as <http://archive.debian.org/debian/dists/Debian-3.1/> or <http://archive.debian.org/debian/dists/Debian-6.0/>. > For example: > > deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ debian8 main contrib non-free > > … just "fits" better to my eyes. *grin* Personally what seems like a wart is the name and the version stitched together w/o a separator. To keep consistency with the archive.d.o, I'd just go with Debian-V, and as V is no longer N.M but just N (starting with 7), we'd get Debian-6.0, Debian-7, Debian-8, etc. Thanks, Guillem
