IPFire 2.29 - Core Update 198 - IPFire mirror in China?

[kenzo_ume (James Sly)]

I just did an upgrade from 197 to IPFire 2.29 - Core Update 198. Pakfire finished with errors. Host mirror.funkfreudelandshut.de had a 404 error. Next Host was firemirror.scp-systems.ch. Is that a legit mirror?

Hello,

@kenzo_ume

Next Host was firemirror.scp-systems.ch. Is that a legit mirror?

Yes it is, but it is not in China. It is in Switzerland.

All updates are cryptographically signed, so even if there was a bad mirror server in our network, we would detect any changes in the updater and discard the update.

Yes. It is in Switzerland. .ch is the country code top-level domain for Switzerland.
