Haha. Good one. I think it's easiest to make mirror_list.pl replace "&\s" with "&\s", i.e. have it work properly with "foo & bar" but not mess with entities. "foo&bar" shouldn't happen, and we don't have any mirrors at AT&T. :) > PS. I found > > http://www.debian.org/mirror/sponsors.en.html > > is too old. Why isn't it regenerated since Nov 11, 2002 ? That's odd, it should get regenerated... I'll look into it. -- 2. That which causes joy or happiness.
