FTP servers have no support for caching or acceleration. 2. Most software implementations have stagnated and are awkward to use and configure. 3. Usage of the FTP servers is pretty low as our own installer has not offered FTP as a way to access mirrors for over ten years. 4. The protocol is inefficient and requires adding awkward kludges to firewalls and load-balancing daemons. The DNS names ftp.debian.org and ftp.<CC>.debian.org will remain the same. The mirrors should just be accessed using HTTP instead: http://ftp.debian.org The above mentioned reasons are good enough to move ftp based SRC_URIs to http or https, if possible. 73259 1 maxin.john 2017-05-15 14:18:00 +0000 Updated the DEBIAN ftp servers to http. Will be marked as finished when we remove all the ftp based SRC_URIs (if possible) in oe-core. http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=97e194e555d078c2bacd62c383636e011bef6c32 74071 2 maxin.john 2017-06-13 14:32:20 +0000 Other updates sent to oe-core: http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2017-June/138052.html 74144 3 maxin.john 2017-06-14 14:54:07 +0000 http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=b1da7c703b159757ce13f484b634a62f2d067dde
