Debian packages moved from alph.gnu.org into mirror system?
Hello,
I'm working on jigdo templates for the J-series of the Debian/Hurd CD
images.
It looks like the dists/sid/local/binary-hurd-i386/ directory contains
the files that were on alpha.gnu.org/gnu/hurd/debian/ when the image was
produced. Now some of these packages seem to be on the Debian mirrors.
This is crucial for generating the templates. The template needs to know
where to get the files from. If the files are moved they cannot be
included in the image being reconstructed and renders the image almost
certainly useless.
If I know a position the moved file can be expected to appear again,
things are not that bad anymore.
Is there an automatic mechanism when files are moved from alph.gnu.org
to the mirrors? Is there a fixed place to find the files again?
Additionally, can someone please explain the typical life cycle of an
Debian/Hurd package?
Regards,
Patrick
