It's also not deterministic to allow failure in doing so. ] Have you ever looked at the debian-installer source package's network use? I'm just saying. If I were throwing arbitrary rules out there, I'd add: 3. Committing redundant data to version control is wrong. But I have another rule that superscedes all 3: 0. Ignore arbitrary rules when you have the time to think for yourself. Personally, I think that the way choose-mirror handled Mirrors.masterlist was fine. Note that it didn't fail if there was a network problem. -- see shy jo
