If you do a real "mirror", you have no junk.
If you do a copy, you get more and more junk each time.
In the past I used the program 'mirror-2.9' with de 'do_deletes' option
set to 'yes'. Now, I prefer the program 'rsync-2.3.1', eg. something like
rsync -rltDuz --rsh ssh --delete --force --verbose \
rsync://rpmfind.net/linux/MandrakeCooker/cooker \
/archiv/Linux/distributions/mandrake
With this, the remote and local "cooker"-trees are always exactly the
same, right after syncing.
Liebe Grüße, Nora.
