Hi List, for up-to-date and for bandwith reasons i have multiple debian mirrors in my sources.list, a close one (which i hope is faster) and the official master (which i believe is updated first):
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free ... deb http://ftp.freenet.de/pub/ftp.debian.org/debian/ testing main ... Now if i do 'dselect update' or 'apt-get update' most of the time i see two 'Packages' files being downloaded, which, if they are what i find in /var/lib/apt/lists, are equal. Is there any possibility or plan to stop this double download? (As you can see i'm running woody, but i wouldn't mind installing some - not too many! - packages from sid). Maybe reladed: At the CeBit a debian developer (hi grisu!) talked about a rsync-able gzip being developed. Is there something new on this?
