Do all mirrors in mirrors_full contain all distributions?
I'm trying to understand the use of the `mirrors_full' file in the
`netselect-apt' utility, and I realize that there's a gap in my
knowledge. I couldn't locate the information to fill this gap in any
documentation that I've been able to find, so I'm asking here.
Is each and every site listed in the `packages over HTTP:' lines in
`mirrors_full' guaranteed to contain all distributions (`stable',
`testing', `unstable', etc.), or do certain sites only contain a subset
of these distributions?
If the latter is true, what is the most net-efficient method (i.e.,
requiring the fewest queries over the internet) for determining which
sites in `mirrors_full' contain any given distribution?
Thanks in advance.
