ted-iousIs there a file on the default system that has a list of mirrors or apt config entries?22:17
ted-iousI guess I can just download the mirror_list.txt and try changing the host by hand.22:26
golinuxted-ious: Maybe this? http://deb.devuan.org/devuan_mirror_walkthrough.txt22:27
golinuxDo you want to add a mirror?22:28
ted-iousNo I need to get around an evil dns block list that seems to think devuan is porn or something.22:31
ted-iousdeb.devuan.org is banned for some reason.22:31
golinuxThat is above my pay-grade . . .22:32
ted-iousSo I downloaded the mirror list and I'm going to try a bunch of them to see which ones work but since I can't just do a search and replace of s/deb.devuan.org/sledjhamr.org/ and have it work I need to learn what I'm doing properly.22:32
ted-iousOh ok I see now I need to add the /devuan at the end of the hostname for sledjhamr.org.22:34
ted-iousI can probably test them all this way then.22:35
golinuxIsn't the panopticon already doing that?22:36
golinuxhttps://sledjhamr.org/apt-panopticon/results/Report-web.html22:37
ted-iousThat has lots of nice data on the mirrors but it's not part of a stock devuan system.22:39
ted-iousNeither is netselect-apt from what I can tell and I'm not sure if it will work even if I get it installed with the base system.22:39
ted-iousI'm just going to have to test some mirrors and choose a few good ones by hand to update sources.list.22:40
golinuxIt is for devuan to keep track of the mirrors22:41
ted-iousI wonder if maybe the problem isn't dns blocking because of a ban list but actually just too many ip's come back in the round robin.22:41
golinuxYes. That is one solution. In all my years of using Devuan, I can't remember having a mirror failure . . .22:42
ted-iousI need to get more information about what is doing the blocking.22:47
rrq... < ted-ious> deb.devuan.org is banned for some reason"  .. where is it banned?23:07
* rrq just waking up ...23:19
rrqbtw one easy way to define your own dns resolution is to put it in /etc/hosts23:22
rrqthen you don't need to change sources.list23:23
rrqand /etc/hosts also would work for the secondary lookups to deb.debian.org, if your have preferences for its resolution too23:24
