I went to have a look at that stuff... it appears that there is a separate http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile/project/Mirrors.masterlist which is processed by an old forked copy of our mirror_list.pl to generate http://www.debian.org/volatile/volatile-mirrors Cc:ing Luk Claes who originally implemented that (judging by CVS commit logs). Nowadays, this is obviously insane :) so unless someone has anything to add, I'll go merge the data into the main Mirrors.masterlist, merge the forked code into the main mirror/mirror_list.pl script, etc. (A benefit that may not be obvious is that this way we will also be able to trivially add the volatile archive into the Debian mirror checkers.) -- Josip Rodin [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
