Package: choose-mirror Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: wea...@debian.org Filing this on behalf of Peter Palfrader who suggested we switched from the manually curated mirror list hosted on salsa[1] to I suppose a live one published on mirror-master[2], that would be more representative of the current state of mirrors when release time approaches.
1. https://salsa.debian.org/mirror-team/masterlist/raw/master/Mirrors.masterlist 2. https://mirror-master.debian.org/status/Mirrors.masterlist Having attempted that, I'm not comfortable updating choose-mirror with this change right now, as that would mean shuffling all entries. A quick brainstorming on IRC resulted in what appeared to be a good idea to everyone involved: the list might be random, but let's make sure we show deb.d.o at the top (default entry anyway), followed by ftp.CC.d.o (if there's such an entry for the given country). Happy to take opinions, and possibly patches for that. :) The trivial change to apply before running `make Mirrors.masterlist` is in the Makefile: -MIRRORLISTURL=https://salsa.debian.org/mirror-team/masterlist/raw/master/Mirrors.masterlist +MIRRORLISTURL=https://mirror-master.debian.org/status/Mirrors.masterlist Cheers, -- Cyril Brulebois (k...@debian.org) <https://debamax.com/> D-I release manager -- Release team member -- Freelance Consultant
