Description
The main feature of the
deb.debian.org mirror is geolocation, which is not relevant for BitFolk VMs, but its secondary advantages are:
- It's fronted by a CDN so it's more resilient than a single mirror host
- It is the example used in most Debian documentation
So, it should be enabled in BitFolk's apt-cacher and the Xen Shell installer should be made to install an /etc/apt/sources.list file that uses it in preference to ftp.uk.debian.org.
History
Updated by admin over 3 years ago
The deb.debian.org URLs work in the apt-cacher now, e.g.
debian buster¶
deb http://apt-cacher.lon.bitfolk.com/debian/deb.debian.org/debian buster main deb http://apt-cacher.lon.bitfolk.com/debian/deb.debian.org/debian buster-updates main deb http://apt-cacher.lon.bitfolk.com/debian/deb.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates main
debian bullseye¶
deb http://apt-cacher.lon.bitfolk.com/debian/deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main deb http://apt-cacher.lon.bitfolk.com/debian/deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates main deb http://apt-cacher.lon.bitfolk.com/debian/deb.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security/updates main
installers still need to be made use them, and probably some examples on the wiki updated
