NAME¶
apt-spy.conf - configuration file for
apt-spy(8)
DESCRIPTION¶
apt-spy.conf is the configuration file for
apt-spy(8). It consists
of a series of area labels, followed by a list of countries belonging to that
label. Whitespace is ignored.
Comments may be added anywhere, and begin with the hash ('#') character. Once a
hash character is encountered, the rest of the line is ignored.
A label consists of any alphanumeric characters, and ends with a colon character
(':'). The label must be on a line by itself (excluding comments).
Following a label are a list of country codes (one per line) of countries
belonging to that label.
Each country has a unique two-letter country code corresponding to its top level
domain identifier. This is the same as the ISO3166 code. You can find the
country code for a specific country either by looking at
/var/lib/apt-spy/mirrors.txt, or by looking at the commented examples
in the default
apt-spy.conf.
Labels cannot exist within labels. The end of a label section is signaled by the
start of a new one, or by the end of file.
Any valid label existing in
apt-spy.conf can be specified to apt-spy
using the '-a' option. apt-spy will then proceed to benchmark the mirrors in
the list of countries associated with that label.
