Ah, good point. I've commented it out appropriately, it should no longer
appear there (assuming choose-mirror doesn't do something crazy).

Thanks for the idea - although it would have been better if you Cc:ed it to

 Many people seem to think that ftp.debian.org is the canonical location of
 Debian packages and that it will be best for them to use that site for apt
 or for mirroring. This is *not true*.
 
 ftp.debian.org is merely one of several servers that get updated from an
 internal Debian server. That address is presently located on a single server
 in the United States, and it still exists mainly for backwards
 compatibility.
 
 In the future, it may get services reduced, or shut down, or converted into
 a globally load-balanced name, or whatever. Please don't use it.
 
 If you're using it now, please switch to a country-based DNS name
 such as ftp.us.debian.org, ftp.ca.debian.org, ftp.uk.debian.org, ...
 The list of those servers is at http://www.debian.org/mirror/list

Does the same go for ../project/experimental?

 Now, back to the current business. Because of local disk space issues,
 ftp.d.o has had intermittent problems over the past few months, and right
 now it's simply not able to update the debian archive. It's currently
 carrying a full mirror of oldstable, and a 'debian-typical' mirror
 (i386, amd64, source) of everything else (stable, testing, unstable).
 
 We'll have to reduce the size of its mirror of oldstable as well, so
 that it keeps enough free disk space to be able to update what it has.
 
 (Some time ago, we have contacted all registered mirrors rsyncing off that
 machine asking them to switch to a better place. All mirrors with reasonably
 responsive maintainers will not be affected; those who have ignored our
 advice might notice changes.)

The explanation is simple. When amd64 was added to sid, all the packages 
were re-compiled.
So they are not going to be the same.

They are probably in different time zones. Run mirror once with -T,
when you are switching source.

Re: ftp.debian.org

1996-09-24 Thread Bruce Perens
We recently decided to keep the master copy of the _entire_ WWW site on
master.debian.org, rather than just a portion of it as previously. This
meant that it would become very much larger. Rather than grow the mirror
sites 300 MB, we moved it to its own separate directory. If you wish to
mirror that directory, or a portion of it (which is probably more
appropriate), you should be able to do so.

Thanks

You should still have the list archives in /debian/debian-lists

 1.) I do not hink it is a good idea to mount the /pub areas on a heavily

This is currently done because of a hardware/driver problem. We'll get 
that resolved eventually.

 2.) A lot of simple mirror scripts tend to delete the local copy of the 
 files when they succed in connecting to the ftp  server but find the 
 directory empty.

We suggest you use the same mirror script we use, and set it so that if
more than 10% of files go away at once it won't delete them.

We did have problems with debian.org - the system it was running on
was taken away, and we had to put a system we never intended to be
debian.org in its place. Our first priority now is to keep the mirror
systems updated.

Thanks

Bruce

Which one do you use? Where to get it? 10% seems reasonable.

Good point!

Isn't it the one in the Debian mirror package?

The mirror system we use is in the Debian net/mirror-2.8-6.deb package.
This is the well-known Perl mirror program. I think it requires Perl5
to run without great big memory leaks, but you should be able to take
the debian source/net/mirror-2.8-6.tar.gz archive and move that to any
platform that runs Perl.

Thanks

It is the mirror program that is shipped with Debian, mirror 2.8 from
Lee McLaughlin in Camebridge.  As I told you, just ad a line similar
to the following into your configuration file.

max_delete_files=20%

Joey
