Bug#1053935: www.debian.org: outdated debian-cd, debian-archive, debian-ports mirror lists



Hello Adam,

First of all, I would like to thank the mirror team for all the hard work.

Note that Mirrors.masterlist.in is not used verbatim by any part of the
website. Rather, the Mirror Team's status monitoring tools (see e.g.
https://mirror-master.debian.org/status/mirror-status.html ) generate a
filtered list containing those mirrors which are considered to be
currently "good enough" (i.e. have managed to stay up-to-date for long
enough), so not all mirrors in the .in file will appear in the results.

I see. Is this information publicly available on www.d.o or gitlab?

I haven't checked the ports list, but the debian-cd and debian-archive
lists being published on the web pages certainly appear to match those
included in the generated version of Mirrors.masterlist.

Can you point to specific examples that you believe should be included
in each, but are not?

I see you updated the debian-archive list and resolved #1034832.

Since there is a generated version of Mirrors.masterlist and it doesn't appears to be publicly accessible, and the mirror team has its own standard, there is really no way for any "outsider" to know if the lists on the website is really good.

However, I do find one that should be included:
debian.cs.nycu.edu.tw looks up to date and should be on the debian-cd list.

Also, in Mirrors.masterlist.in, there is a duplicated entry:
Line 999 and line 1009
debian.cs.nctu.edu.tw and debian.cs.nycu.edu.tw
The university changed its abbreviation and domain name from NCTU to NYCU, these two are exactly the same. Also the sponsor's website (http://www.cs.nctu.edu.tw/) (line 1007) of the first one (NCTU) redirects to NYCU's website.

For debian-ports, linux.purple-cat.net is also up to date, but why is it not on the debian-ports list? Do you not accept new ports mirror?
