IMPROVE THE SPEED OF DEEPIN REPOSITORIES

IMPROVE THE SPEED OF REPOSITORIES

We offer a solution to increase the speed of the Deepin 20 and higher repository. Due to the immense demand for the repository of Deepin 20 (and later versions) hosted in China, the community is experiencing outages, connection delays, and slow speeds.

For this reason, on behalf of our entire team, we want to do our bit and make publicour mirror of the Deepin community in Spanish. This mirror is hosted outside of China and offers better transfer speeds.

The following is the configuration of the mirrors.

deb [by-hash=force] https://mirror.deepines.com/deepin/ apricot main contrib non-free

deb https://mirror.deepines.com/appstore eagle appstore

If you use to manually configure the repositories, you already know that you have to change the repository by editing filesources.list.

We also provide a quick and easy method to change the mirror, select the following command in full by triple clicking (all the text in a single command), copy it, paste it in the terminal and press the key Enter.

This first command adds the main repository of the system.

sudo sed -i "s|^deb \[by-hash=force\] https://community-packages.deepin.com/deepin/ apricot main contrib non-free|#deb \[by-hash=force\] https://community-packages.deepin.com/deepin/ apricot main contrib non-free\ndeb \[by-hash=force\] https://mirror.deepines.com/deepin/ apricot main contrib non-free|" /etc/apt/sources.list

You can check if you changed the mirror successfully with the following command.

cat /etc/apt/sources.list

And you should get the following result.

[email protected]:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
## Generated by deepin-installer
#deb [by-hash=force] https://community-packages.deepin.com/deepin/ apricot main contrib non-free
deb [by-hash=force] https://mirror.deepines.com/deepin/ apricot main contrib non-free
#deb-src https://community-packages.deepin.com/deepin/ apricot main contrib non-free

Now we are going to add the application store repository with this second command, we repeat the process. Select the following command whole by triple clicking (all the text in a single command), copy it, paste it in the terminal and press the key Enter.

sudo sed -i "s|^deb https://community-store-packages.deepin.com/appstore eagle appstore|#deb https://community-store-packages.deepin.com/appstore eagle appstore\ndeb https://mirror.deepines.com/appstore eagle appstore|" /etc/apt/sources.list.d/appstore.list

You can check if you changed the mirror successfully with the following command.

cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/appstore.list

And you should get the following result.

[email protected]:~$ cat sources.list.d/appstore.list 
#deb https://community-store-packages.deepin.com/appstore eagle appstore
deb https://mirror.deepines.com/appstore eagle appstore
[email protected]:~$ 

Now we only need to update the database APT with the following command.

sudo apt update

If the terminal does not show error messages, everything has been configured correctly.
