Re: New mint-debian-mirrors package
Wow, seems that mint-debian-mirrors works propertly, my old sources.list:
New one:
Question, is it going to be updated the mirror list? Maybe I can run it now and then to see more options of mirrors.

Re: New mint-debian-mirrors package
You can rerun it if you want to change your mirror... but you won't see more mirrors.
On our side when we add or remove a mirror from the list, we'll send an updated mint-debian-mirrors package, so you'll be asked automatically.

Re: New mint-debian-mirrors package
linuxmint.com was the fastest mirror from both my home and office-- but it also reports that all mirrors are faster from home. Very interesting... *wrings hands*
Re: UPDATE PACK 5 FEEDBACK THREAD
The update of mintupdate-debian and mint-debian-mirrors gave errors. It wrote a sources list that was unable to retrieve the sources. It happend on two systems, one pointing to lates and one pointing to incoming. It happend both with selecting the first (french) update server and also the third standard debian server. (Screenshot is in dutch lang).

maxibuntu, is this something that you can replicate?
can you rewrite the faulty sources.list with the sources.list.bk and then in the terminal run pick again the fastest mirror and in the end give us the output of

Re: UPDATE PACK 5 FEEDBACK THREAD
maxibuntu,
i tried several combinations (rewrite the .bk, deleting all and loading again the .safe) and can't replicate that (this output is just one and i get the same mirror as you)
do you have the same versions?

Re: New mint-debian-mirrors package
another report of the same bug here >> http://forum.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=186&t=112496
Re: New mint-debian-mirrors package
Something's wrong... the mirror I'm using (debian.lth.se) shows 18 packages available while the main one shows 1303. Did I get in the middle of the synchronization process? But mintUpdate tells me that the Update Pack 5 is available in both cases...
One more thing: this secondary mirror has some strange versions of the infamous libcairo2/fontconfig stuff.
Here's what I get with it:
and here's what I get with the main mirror:
I understand that all this font stuff won't be stored in the Mint repos from now on (these packages are not here anymore) because we're moving to the upstream packages for that.
But fontconfig 2.8.0-3.1, and not from ubuntu? Oh no, this version is going to make my fonts ugly, I'm not updating to that

Of course I'll do that Just worrying there will be people who won't.zerozero wrote:please give enough time for the mirrors to sync
And how does one know the process is over? By manually comparing the number of packages in the main mirror and the other one?

Re: New mint-debian-mirrors package
Something's wrong either with my browser or the main linuxmint.com page - I don't see that post there.
I usually go there to check for the new blog posts.
Alright, thank you, I'll keep an eye on it... though it's not very convenient that mintUpdate tells me Update Pack 5 is available on a mirror I'm using while it's still being synchronized.
