hi, no you have to specify.
Following debian's hierarchy, arch is a subset of the superset that comprises a release version (ie: 17.04 zesty has both x86/amd64 releases...). I have local mirrors here for both debian and ubuntu due to docker image CI internally, which I specifically only mirror amd64 releases for both. I feel like I just became mrObvious here in the list, so if you can elaborate further for your use case perhaps we can help narrow down your issue. :) B On 11 May 2017 at 12:50, UCY Library mirror <mir...@ucy.ac.cy> wrote: > Hello everyone, > > Not sure when I 'll get a reply from ubuntu mailing list, so I',m asking > over here in case someone knows: > Is mirroring part of the archive ubuntu repo an acceptable policy for a > public mirror? amd64 specifically. > Seems like the only way to "filter" by architecture is to use debmirror. > Is there any way to avoid -d (distribution flag) in the command?
