Re: ftp.gr.debian.org for debian-testing is down?
Hi,
deb.debian.org is operated by us and is available on https, so that's
what we recommend.
ftp*.*.debian.org are operated by third parties, we need to be able to
retarget these names at any time, so I doubt they'll ever get https.
Individual mirrors can of course offer https service at their discretion
on a different DNS name, as e.g. https://ftp.acc.umu.se/debian/ does.
Cheers,
Julien
