Do I need a key for za repositories?

Do these repositories work, and do I need a key?

Have you tried them?

Those are the same as mine and I do not need a key.

That all looked good. If you want, you can switch these security updates to za.archive as well. You'll get your security updates a few hours later that way, but over local bandwidth.

Do they even mirror the security updates?

Yes, TENET do that on mirror.ac.za (and hence za.archive.ubuntu.com).

I have never seen
deb http://za.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security universe

I am having trouble getting the mirrors, because all of the above are .com,and the above sites are NOT actually mirrored.


http://ubuntu.mirror.ac.za
ftp://ubuntu.mirror.ac.za

are just the iso's and not LIVE reflection of the above international sites, so this is a problem for anyone downstream on local bandwidth, or am I doing something wrong and there is a rational to this?

http://za.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ is the same as http://ubuntu.mirror.ac.za/ubuntu-archive/

so in your source list use deb http://ubuntu.mirror.ac.za/ubuntu-archive/ main restricted

If you need to have a non .com domain for what ever reason. But they are both locally hosted.

Hope this helps
