what's the lag on various debian mirror sites?
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-setup /pick a different mirror/
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
"Need to get hoards o new stuff."
eh?
in researching an apt-get answer on a previous post, i selected
a new mirror via apt-setup and then did an "apt-get update ;
apt-get upgrade"... funny thing, tho -- i had just done the
update/upgrade thing moments before, before running "apt-setup".
now, after selecting a different source, i get
% apt-get update
...
% apt-get upgrade
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following packages will be upgraded
bind-doc elvis-tiny ncurses-term task-dns-server tcpdump
xfree86-common xlib6g
7 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not
upgraded.
Need to get 2718kB of archives. After unpacking 0B will be
used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
so am i downloading old packages from a stale mirror? or did
this mirror just now get some updates? or maybe different
mirrors have different package subsets? hmm?
i'd just switched from ftp-mirror.internap.com to ftp.digex.net
if that matters...?
