Drafting announcement for shutting down ftp
Hi folks
The mirror team and DSA would like to shutdown the ftp service for all
of our public mirrors somewhere before the end of the year. We drafted
some announcement, but I have no idea if that would be appropriate and
where we need to announce that.
Please provide some insight.
Regards,
Bastian

A lot of people have already done it, some will do it in the near future. So let's face it, it is time to terminate a service that we all have learned to love and hate --- our FTP servers.
All FTP servers for public facing debian.org services will be shut down on XXX 1, 2017. These are:
* ftp://ftp.debian.org
* ftp://security.debian.org
Please consider migrating to the following:
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian <codename-or-suite> main ...
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-security <codename-or-suite>/updates main ...
# tor variant (requires apt-transport-tor)
# deb tor+http://vwakviie2ienjx6t.onion/debian <codename-or-suite> main ...
# deb tor+http://sgvtcaew4bxjd7ln.onion/debian-security <codename-or-suite>/updates main ...
Internal services will not be affected. These are:
* ftp://ftp.upload.debian.org
* ftp://security-master.debian.org
If you have any concerns about this change, please contact mirrors@debian.org.
