Package: debmirror Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
It would be very helpful to add to the debmirror man page an explanation on how to mirror a single distribution without disturbing the other distributions. For example, if I am using debmirror to mirror sid, testing, bullseye, and buster and my buster mirror is damaged I want to re-sync buster without having to re-sync everything else. I use the --nocleanup option to do this but it took me some time to figure this out. So I suggest adding to the man page explaining how --nocleanup can be used to do this. -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.7 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-14-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=C (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/bash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages debmirror depends on: ii bzip2 1.0.6-9.2~deb10u1 pn libdigest-md5-perl <none> pn libdigest-sha-perl <none> pn liblockfile-simple-perl <none> ii libwww-perl 6.36-2 ii perl [libnet-perl] 5.28.1-6+deb10u1 ii rsync 3.1.3-6 ii xz-utils 5.2.4-1 Versions of packages debmirror recommends: pn ed <none> ii gpgv 2.2.12-1+deb10u1 ii patch 2.7.6-3+deb10u1 Versions of packages debmirror suggests: ii gnupg 2.2.12-1+deb10u1
