From 437d368a4594e212def9d13c4b8ba3f0bcdf122f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Kalnischkies Date: Sat, 8 Jul 2017 19:12:08 +0200 Subject: use deb.d.o instead of httpredir.d.o as example mirror The service behind httpredir.debian.org is decommissioned and the domain points to the deb.debian.org service, so following the redirect and explaining the effects it has a bit is a good idea. --- README.md | 17 ++++++++++++----- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 58b95e0..84b8772 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -10,14 +10,21 @@ with "tor+http://" or "tor+https://" in your sources.list.
