Hello, I browsed through the list archives (I am not subscribed) first, but I could not find any mention about this: are there any persistent problems with the kde packages for potato that used to be available at kde.tdyc.com? Apparently, only some of the authoritative DNS servers for the tdyc.com domain know the hostname kde.tdyc.com, those who do answer 128.196.206.206 but the host at this IP number has been unreachable for some days now, apparently because of some firewall in between. Actually, I get:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ping 128.196.206.206
PING 128.196.206.206 (128.196.206.206) from 192.167.8.254 : 56(84) bytes of data.From 192.80.43.33: Packet filtered
Now the questions are the following:
1) has the apt'able archive of kde packages for potato been taken out of line or have some networks (including mine) been filtered out upstream for some reason?
2) is there any other up to date apt'able mirror available? I cannot look at the web pages at kde.tdyc.com myself, since it is unreachable from here
3) is there any other up to date mirror offering the rsync service? I maintain some 15 debian potato boxes here and for that reason I have been keeping a local, unofficial, partial mirror of the kde packages for potato, which is now out of date.
Thanks, bye Giacomo
