To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Mailer: bug 3.2.7 Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2000 14:07:47 +0100 Package: general Version: 20000120 Severity: wishlist I don't think the following is a problem with apt, but it's related to non-US being mirrored to different locations. Do we have a mirrors pseudo-package to assign this wishlist-bug to? I'd like to see mirrors putting a sources.list file into their /debian directory which a user can download and copy relevant lines into /etc/apt/sources.list. Since ftp.de.debian.org currently doesn't allow anonymous ftp access, I replaced "de" with "nl" and "uk" respectively only to find out that non-US Package files could not be retrieved :( Regards Siggy -- System Information Debian Release: potato Kernel Version: Linux matti 2.2.14 #1 Thu Jan 6 21:42:39 CET 2000 i586 unknown --------------------------------------- Received: (at 55773-done) by bugs.debian.org; 26 Mar 2000 09:36:12 +0000 Received: (qmail 29282 invoked from network); 26 Mar 2000 09:36:12 -0000 Received: from i511.resi.insa-lyon.fr (HELO k6.resI.insa-lyon.fr) (134.214.164.9) by master.debian.org with SMTP; 26 Mar 2000 09:36:12 -0000 Received: by k6.resI.insa-lyon.fr (Postfix, from userid 1001) id 198AA4045; Sun, 26 Mar 2000 11:36:11 +0200 (CEST) Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sun, 26 Mar 2000 11:36:11 +0200 From: Raphael Hertzog <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Good sources.list file with non-US Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-15 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-Mailer: Mutt 0.93i Hi, all the primary ftp mirrors already use a standard location, and you can (most of the time) use something like that : deb ftp://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian-non-US frozen/non-US main contrib non-free deb ftp://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian frozen main contrib non-free And from potato on, sources.list will be modified by base-config if network install is used, it will add the correct lines after having asked your country (to try to detect the best mirror).
