dear devs,

today we activated the round-robin feature on package repositories,
served from the deb.devuan.org dns entry that rotates across several
mirrors.

please do try this feature using http://deb.devuan.org

also please note that the round-robin does not work when using TLS,
an 'apt update' using https://deb.devuan.org will report error as:

Err:7 https://deb.devuan.org/merged ascii Release
SSL: certificate subject name (*.vpgrp.io) does not match target host name 'deb.devuan.org'
[...]
E: The repository 'https://deb.devuan.org/merged ascii Release' does no longer have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by

I wonder if there are known solutions to this or if it should be
clearly listed as a disclaimer.

In any case, many thanks to Katolaz and Nextime for making this
improvement possible!

ciao
