Hi As announced earlier the Debian AMD64 archive moved away from alioth the weekend from 30. April til today, 2. May. Yes, that is why there are so many days without updates. This is just a short information, and we are still evaluating the archive, so if you dont like the small chance to kill your system you maybe wait with a change until we sent out the full announce. We expect that to happen somewhere between now and Saturday night. It looks good for us, but we want to make sure it is fully working before we do something big with it. For the impatient here are the important things you need to know: - Modify /etc/apt/sources.list to read like deb http://amd64.debian.net/debian/ DIST main contrib and replace DIST with either sid or sarge (or testing/unstable), whatever you prefer to have. Thats it basically, now your system will do the right thing fetching the packages. Note: NO non-free is provided yet. We need to decide what we do with it, as some software in it may forbid us to distribute it (we arent Debian). Probably we will do a case-by-case study for things that we consider important and add them if license allows us to. We also intend to offer a push-mirror service for interested mirrors, so if you are an interested mirror admin please contact me and I will come back to you with further instructions, as soon as we are sure our archive is clean. -- bye Joerg Siliziumdioxid wird auf offenen LKWs durch Deutschland gefahren!
