Multiple binary mirrors only works if they are perfect copies of eachother. In any other case you are using mis-matched sets of packages and there is not perfect way to ensure that they work well together. Use a dns RR or stick to one mirror. As for local mirrors... It is perfecly acceptable to put a filesystem path in your mirror variable. Space seperated list. |
