Package: debian-handbook Version: 8.20160922 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
When configuring the /etc/apt/sources.list , I find it more convenient to use the "mirror redirector service" http://httpredir.debian.org/ . This way, the administrator does not have to specify the exact mirror but instead rely on the "redirector" service to choose the best possible mirror. More details can be found in 1) https://www.debian.org/mirror/list 2) http://httpredir.debian.org/ Currently the debian-handbook does not discuss about this service. Would it be possible to add a section or atleast mention it somewhere in the book? thanks raju -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) -- no debconf information
