This would require updating the Mirrors.masterlist file in base-config. I have no problem doing that for the next minor release if the release manager agrees. The file is pulled right out of debian www cvs, and it's a plain text file. Likelyhood of introducing new bugs is small. In the longer term, I would prefer to let machines, if they are up on the net, connect to www.debian.org and download a new mirror list. However, the debian-www people have consistently frustrated this desire by refusing to put the Mirrors.masterlist file up on the web for easy download, and requiring it only be made available by CVS. I have never understood their reasons for this. > Example: dogbert.bizit.net doesn't run a mirror anymore (not included in > the mirror list[0] in unstable) but it's used in the potato install.. > But our mirror ftp.acc.umu.se (ftp.se.debian.org) isn't listed in the > install program when you want to do a net install (it's listed in [0] in > unstable but with "Country: SE Sweden" instead of "Country: SE" like > some have.. could that be causing any problems?) > > Would be nice if this is fixed for 2.2r4 and later..
