Re: Debian mirror in Canada

[Jean-Francois Chevrette <jfchevrette@iweb.ca>]

Hi,

Thanks for the answer. We are currently working on a few of the items  
you have mentionned below such as:

- Rsync server
- Complete archives & architecture mirror (Push-Mirror with  
mirrors.kernel.org)
- anonftpsync (it's already up-to-date)
- ISO images

How does the mirror selection works? From what I understand, our  
current architecture meets the requirements to become a secondary  
mirror. However, what are the criteria of selection for the master  
mirror?


Regards,
