Package: general
Version: 20000120
Severity: wishlist
I don't think the following is a problem with apt, but it's related to
non-US being mirrored to different locations. Do we have a mirrors
pseudo-package to assign this wishlist-bug to?
I'd like to see mirrors putting a sources.list file into their /debian
directory which a user can download and copy relevant lines into
/etc/apt/sources.list.
Since ftp.de.debian.org currently doesn't allow anonymous ftp access,
I replaced "de" with "nl" and "uk" respectively only to find out that
non-US Package files could not be retrieved :(
Regards
Siggy

Hi,
all the primary ftp mirrors already use a standard location, and you can
(most of the time) use something like that :
deb ftp://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian-non-US frozen/non-US main contrib non-free
deb ftp://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian frozen main contrib non-free
And from potato on, sources.list will be modified by base-config if
network install is used, it will add the correct lines after having asked
your country (to try to detect the best mirror).
Cheers,
