So here it is. The script works fine, but you need to configure
/etc/debian-mirror.conf manually at the moment. Once configured it
works fine for me.
On install it will ask you about debian-mirror being run in cron.daily
via debconf and all the other option will be asked there as well in
the future.
It will create a user mirror when installed and runs as mirror:nogroup
when started from /etc/cron.daily/debian-mirror.
The package is called debian-mirror and is available from:
deb ftp://rut.informatik.uni-tuebingen.de unstable main
deb-src ftp://rut.informatik.uni-tuebingen.de unstable main
Suggestions to the script are welcome, esspecially: How do I make
debconf popup a checklist like:
+----------------------------------------+
| What distributions should be mirrored? |
| |
| [ ] potato |
| [ ] woody |
| [ ] sid |
| |
| < OK> <CANCEL> |
+----------------------------------------+
Happy testing,
Goswin
