apt-spy.conf

APT-SPY.CONF(5) 						File Formats Manual						   APT-SPY.CONF(5)

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.

EXAMPLES

       This is an example of a valid apt-spy.conf file:
		   USUK:
			GB   # United Kingdom
			US   # United States

		   Australia:
			AU

		   France-Germany-Netherlands:
			FR
			DE
			NL

       There  is  a default configuration file included with apt-spy. For further examples, and for a list of valid country codes, please refer to
       this.
