I am not positive but I have seen nothing out and most of the #linux'ers on Undernet haven't heard of any such program. Besides, if the APT team doesn't know about it and some very capable Debian users don't know about it then how worthwhile is it? The point of this was to try to get you guys to incorporate it into the APT package and for me to get some more experience and headway.
Also, the author of Netselect has also never heard of a program to do what this does. -Danny -----Original Message----- From: Jason Gunthorpe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 09, 2001 1:35 AM To: messiah Cc: Deity Creation Team Subject: Re: New Package I wrote for APT called APT-SOURCES On Fri, 9 Feb 2001, messiah wrote: > I have written a program to automatically generate a sources.list > (/etc/apt/sources.list) by downloading an updated MIRROR list from the > Debian website, parse the HTML a few times down to a usable file and then Are you sure someone has not already done this? I seem to recall reading about a similar scheme about the time netselect came out.. Jason
