From 06582d494e01eee2bb15b89b85bb7f9951aa92b8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Patrick McDermott Date: Mon, 05 Aug 2019 19:29:29 -0400 Subject: dev/archive/mirroring: Require HTTP Someday, an HTTP redirector service may be introduced instead of prokit hardcoding a selected mirror into opkg.conf. (Another option is to wrap `opkg update` with a script that fetches the latest mirror lists (with soft fail) and updates the opkg configuration file(s) with a randomly selected mirror.) --- diff --git a/dev/archive/mirroring.mdwn b/dev/archive/mirroring.mdwn index 3602718..a9c354b 100644 --- a/dev/archive/mirroring.mdwn +++ b/dev/archive/mirroring.mdwn @@ -47,8 +47,8 @@ Primary Public Mirror --------------------- Primary mirrors are those that synchronize directly from -<files.proteanos.com> and serve their contents publicly over rsync as well -as HTTP and/or FTP. +<files.proteanos.com> and must serve their contents publicly over HTTP and +rsync and may also serve over FTP.
