Currently: * all or most mirrors but archive.d.o have /debian-archive/ as path for debian-archive * On archive.d.o: rsync is at ::debian-archive ftp://archive.debian.org/debian-archive/ show many directories while ftp://archive.debian.org/debian/ shows debian-archive. Please make the path consistent with the archive-old mirrors and meaning. Best regards. -- Simon Paillard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
