Another concern noted was that if we require special mirroring software to mirror Debian, many hardnosed sysadmins will take some convincing to use our script.
That is not our problem. Either they use our mirroring script, or use their regular script to mirror from a debian mirror in the SAME country as it is, which DOES run our script. If they do not, they are not an official mirror. I don't see this as losing us any mirrors. Most `official' mirrors we have now care about Debian at least somewhat, or they wouldn't have became "official" in the first place. Only the official mirrors go in the masters.list And the security of knowing that only software that is legal to be on the server IS on it should be very reassuring to most site admins out there. We just must take care to INFORM the admins of this when politely requesting them to use our software. Jonathan
