Re: Missing "--parent-mirror-binary-updates" for live-build 4.x?



Thanks for your reply.
Since jessie-updates exists, e.g.
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/
Could you please tell me why the flexibility to assign the parent mirror
binary updates URL is removed in live-build v4?
Does it mean the parent updates URL must use the same repository as that
--parent-mirror-binary?
If you think it's OK to have it back, for sure I could help to have a
patch for that.
Thank you very much.

Steven.
