Yes. > i was not doing it earlier either (when we were > listed as ftp.in.debian.org). can i just leave it as the round-robin? no, because : - all the mirrors of ftp.us.d.o don't carry the same architecture (saens.debian.org that is part of ftp.us.d.org doesn't carry hurd-i386) If you will mirror from saens, all hurd-i386 packages of your mirror will be removed. - issues can happen, let us assume ftp.us.d.o is composed of A and B. when both A and B are ok, no pb. * day 0 : A is now out of date and/or broken, but your are lucky, the when you resolved ftp.us.d.o, B has been choosen. * day 1 : A is still out of date / broken, but this time, you resolve to A, so you sync with the bad outdated mirror and delete all uptodate files you fetched from B. * day 2 : pb on A not yet solved, but this time the ip returned is the one of B, you fetch again all the files you deleted the day before. and so on .. > > It seems you also mirrored hurd-i386, > > If you want to remove them from the mirror, > > yes, we have hurd-i386 also and i plan to leave it there. Ok, so you have to specify in your script a upstream mirror with hurd-i386. Best regards, -- Simon Paillard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
