Bug#700642: live-installer leaves live system's sources.list on the target
Even though we choose 'No' when installer asks if we want to use a network mirror, it does not clear the network mirrors already present in the sources.list copied from the live system. -- പ്രവീണ് അരിമ്പ്രത്തൊടിയില് You have to keep reminding your government that you don't get your rights from them; you give them permission to rule, only so long as they follow the rules: laws and constitution. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

This is on a relatively fast machine.

This should also make > installing new systems MUCH faster. I have also been suffering with the much slower dpkg on Sid. Today I performed a test of a default debootstrap chroot and had this benchmark data. I am using a local full mirror so that network performance is not significant in the measurement. This is using the stock Sid version of everything up to date as of today operating on an ext3 filesystem. # time debootstrap wheezy testinstall http://localmirror/ftp.us.debian.org/debian ... real2m58.577s user0m49.639s sys 0m8.749s And then using the patched debootstrap script Phillip Susi suggested I get this result: # time debootstrap wheezy testinstall http://localmirror/ftp.us.debian.org/debian ... real1m17.680s user0m49.879s sys 0m7.988s Wall clock time is more than 2x faster for me when avoiding the unnecessary fsync() calls. Ideally I would like to see dpkg handle this issue. But since that doesn't seem to be happening it would be nice if the rest of the ecosystem could work around it. Here is the same test again on an ext4 filesystem on the same system and the stock scripts. # time debootstrap wheezy testinstall http://localmirror/ftp.us.debian.org/debian ... real2m55.402s user0m52.107s sys 0m7.888s And again with the eatmydata patched script: # time debootstrap wheezy testinstall http://localmirror/ftp.us.debian.org/debian ... real1m4.819s user0m48.455s sys 0m6.752s That is 2.7x faster on ext4.

This is the reason why all tools that test mirror speed try all aliases in turn.
