Re: amd64 situation in Mirrors.masterlist
I reviewed the information on the list concerning the mirror I maintain
(ftp.cl.debian.org), and it could certainly use an update.
I get the impression from Joey's comment that the list is not
maintained, although the number of revisions says the opposite. Who can
maintain it? Can we (maintainers) submit updated information ourselves
somehow? That might ease the load on somebody, as is apparently desirable.
