aj blogged about it here: http://azure.humbug.org.au/~aj/blog/2005/11/16#2005-11-16-dak There was also some talk about this during the recent "Archive architecture qualification" IRC discussion on #debian-tech[1]: < Q_> aj: So what still needs to happen for the mirroring changes? <aj> Q_: work out exactly what mirrors should do; tell mirrors what they should do; wait for mirrors to do that [...] <aj> Q_: there's already a reasonably easy script, it's more the issue of making it easy for people to find a (eg) m68k mirror when the country mirror only had i386 eg There have also been ongoing discussions about optimizing apt-ftparchive, but I am not sure whether this is part of the solution as well. Maybe aj can comment on that. cheers, Michael -- [1] http://wiki.debian.org/IRC/debian-tech/Logs/20051230-archivequalification?highlight=%28Archive%29 Debian Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.advogato.org/person/mbanck/diary.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
