Dear Folks,

There is a gentoo package called mirrorselect.

I can't see a version of it in debian.

If I would try to compile and use it in debian what would be the best way
to do that?

Comments appreciated

No need for such a package. Just use httpredir.debian.org as your mirror
server and a close mirror will be automagically selected for you.

Your sources.list could look like this:

# Main Repository
deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
# Non-Sec Updates
deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie-updates main contrib non-free
# Security Updates
deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free
# Backports
deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main contrib non-free

Grüße,
Sven.
