Re: 2.6.14 and m3mirror broken

Hi Helge, thanks! Since i never filed a bug report on the BTS i should find out how to do this :-) Problem is that m3mirror is more a small feature/hack by BenH (afaik). Helge Kreutzmann wrote: Did you report this in the BTS to get fixed at least in Debian? Why don't you go back to the old
