http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-volatile/volatile-mirrors is
autogenerated from http://volatile.debian.net/debian-volatile/project/Mirrors.masterlist.
The later one is pushed to all mirrors as soon as new package is
installed in the archive, which usually happens once or twice a day,
depending on how often ClamAV updates their virus signature database.
After that, the list on www.d.o changes with the next build-run of the
debian websites. This happens IIRC every 6h. So it might take up to 24h
or so until the list on www.d.o is updated. I know that this is a bit
odd, but this system has the great advantage that persons without
debian-webwml or being DD can administrate the mirror list, without
having access to the volatile archive.
