The repositories have not been shut down. All the Debian mirrors still work. It's only ftpmaster.debian.org that has been shut down. And by Debian policy, only primary Debian mirrors are supposed to access that server. -- .''`.

IMHO: this does not affect stable users (ftp-master is not security-master)[1] and testing/unstable users should be subscribed to debian-devel-announce. It's low-traffic enough to not be a burden to follow. [1] ok, stable-proposed-updates might be affected (I'm not sure), but people shouldn't be using those packages until the point release ;) Regards, Andrei -- Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic |
