Hello everybody, Official mirrors, how they name look like, and how they are operated are clearly defined on our website: https://www.debian.org/mirror/official At the moment they are organised per country, but I think that it could make sense to also include clouds, like in "ftp.azure.debian.org" or "ftp.aws.debian.org", if there were a demand for it. (I would not be surprised if anywat the trademark holders of "azure" or "aws" had a strong opinion against using it in a domain name together with another trademarked name...) I am not sure where names ending in *mirror.debian.org fit in that plan, but maybe I missed something. Is the goal to eliminate "ftp" from the name since the contents are served by various protocols ? Have a nice week-end, -- Charles Plessy Tsurumi, Kanagawa, Japan
