The Debian Mirror Checker provides status on Debian package mirror sites. The data is in a large table whose first couple of lines look like this:

R Host              T ftp-master time             TS Update ftp   http  rsync
1 debian.inhost.pro L Sun Mar 8 15:11:46 UTC 2015            .    Ok    .
1 ftp.ru.debian.org L Sun Mar 8 15:11:46 UTC 2015  7         Ok   Ok    Ok

What do these columns mean? For example, is a . (period) in the rsync column good or bad? What does it signify? If the Update column is checked, what does that mean?

Maybe someone can direct me to a page that has the documentation for this page.

  • Thanks for finding that. I must say, that page is not easy to use. – user35042 Mar 08 '15 at 19:42
  • It's amazing what you find when you bother to look. It took me about 15 seconds to find that information, most of which was spent scrolling to the bottom to look and see what was there. – user9517 Mar 08 '15 at 19:46
