Hi,
For Buster, the USA IL osuosl and the USA Rochester RIT repos work good for me.
Thanks

On bullseye, the problematic mirros for me are:

Hi @Xecure,
How did you do that check for the bullseye mirrors? Can you show us? Once I know how, I can do the same for the buster mirrors and report back.
Thanks

It is a very crude method.

0. I create a new/ folder inside Documents and place the script there. I then switch all repos off except for the antiX repo (you can do this with the repo-manager program).

1. I then manually edit the /etc/apt/sources.d/antix.list to use the original antix repo repo.antixlinux.com/bullseye (or /buster). I update the package list manually and save the available packages to a default.list file

sudo apt update
apt list | tail -n+2 | grep -v "^$" > $HOME/Documents/new/defaults.list

I consider this to be the default list because there is nothing more up to date than the antiX repo.

2. I use the repo manager to change to the first antiX mirro and I apply the changes. I then run the script once and it generates a compare.list file where it stores the result.

3. I repeat step 2 until I am done with all mirrors.

I could alternatively use the /usr/share/repo-list/repos.txt list and modify the script to automate steps 2-3 inside a while loop, which should simplify the process to only running the script once and not have to manually change the repo.

the script in question:

#!/bin/bash

DEFAULT_LIST="$HOME/Documents/new/default.list"
ERROR_LIST="$HOME/Documents/new/error.list"
NEW_LIST="$HOME/Documents/new/new.list"
COMPARE_LIST="$HOME/Documents/new/compare.list"
CURRENT_REPO="$(awk 'NR==2{print }' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/antix.list | cut -d " " -f2)"
REPO_NAME="$(echo "$CURRENT_REPO" | cut -d"/" -f3)"

TOTAL_DIF=0

# 2. Update sources-list
sudo apt update 2> "$ERROR_LIST"

# 3. Save list
apt list | tail -n+2 | grep -v "^$" > 

# 4. Compare 
diff "$DEFAULT_LIST" "$NEW_LIST" > "$HOME/Documents/new/${REPO_NAME}.dif"

# 5. Check if dif is empty or has issues
if [[ ! -s "$HOME/Documents/new/${REPO_NAME}.dif" ]]; then
	TOTAL_DIF=0
elif [[ -s "$ERROR_LIST" ]]; then
	TOTAL_DIF="ERROR"
else
	TOTAL_DIF=$(cat "$HOME/Documents/new/${REPO_NAME}.dif" | grep "^< \|^> " | wc -l | awk '{ print $1 }')
fi
echo "[$TOTAL_DIF] $CURRENT_REPO" >> "$COMPARE_LIST"

Hi @Xecure,
Considering your directions for testing the status of the mirrors:
This is a little bit more than what my little brain can do. I will work on this and will take a lot of time for me to learn. Therefore, I can’t reproduce what you did with the bullseye mirrors in a timely manner.
Thanks

For antiX repositories, the mirmon service is already tracking up-to-date -ness, right?
Would it be useful to scrape & further massage the dataset they provide?

links2 -dump  https://antixlinux.com/mirmon/antix-mirror-status.html \
  |grep renewed |grep -v days |grep -v '[0-9][0-9] hours' 

If so, a Cmd() call to a helper script could be injected into the repo-manager readantiXRepos() routine, to cull the entries within /usr/share/repo-list/repos.txt prior to loading its contents
https://gitlab.com/antiX-Linux/repo-manager/-/blob/master/mainwindow.cpp#L135

For debian repositories, idunno…
https://mirror-master.debian.org/status/mirror-status.html#&sort%5Bresults%5D=4-1
just stick with the status quo “closest + fastest” lookup, or also attempt to cull the list (or generate a runtime blacklist)?

mirmon site says that servers it.mxrepo.com, mxlinux.inhost.pro, http://ftp.task.gda.pl and mxlinux.redimadrid.es are OK but I get errors for them on bullseye a2 runit.
Example:
Error: Failed to fetch https://mxlinux.redimadrid.es/MX-Packages/antix//bullseye/dists/bullseye/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found
Mirmon is not 100% reliable.

I think the repo is ok, but is wrong in your sources.list (repo-manager in bullseye s probably to blame).

ie https://mxlinux.redimadrid.es/MX-Packages/antix//bullseye/

Shouldn’t have // (bold)

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

@Xecure and @anticapitalista,

the “//” has been a problem in the past too.
It appears in all the error ones from Xecures previous post.
between antix and bulleseye.
so going to have to check the list file for typos.

I also thought that until I visited the mirrors on the web browser just to be sure.

Compare

Buster repo for same mirror: https://mxlinux.redimadrid.es/MX-Packages/antix/buster/dists/buster/
Bullseye repo for same mirror: https://mxlinux.redimadrid.es/MX-Packages/antix/bullseye/dists/bullseye/
Testing repo for same mirror: https://mxlinux.redimadrid.es/MX-Packages/antix/testing/dists/testing/

All except for bullseye repo have contents-<architecture>.gz, and for the other mirrors (example) that are OK (no errors) the contents-<architecture>.gz files DO exists for the bullseye repos. There must have been an error during syncing and everything but the list of packages was imported, or those files were not generated for some of the mirrors.

The other [Error] mirrors seem to match the mirmon website results.

In reality it appears also in all the non-error ones. After some months I found out that the // are ignored and interpreted as /. It doesn’t seem to be an issue for me, as I have been getting antiX updates on the bullseyea2 runit version for now.
So the issue still remains in the repo mirrors I listed. I made sure.

Yes, but they still need manual checking
